Why use sun screens with suction cups for your sliding doors?

A sliding door brings plenty of natural daylight into your home and creates an open connection with your garden. However, during summer it also lets in a lot of heat. Because of the large glass surface, the temperature in your living room can rise quickly. Good sun shading for your sliding patio doors is therefore essential.

Traditional sun shading for large sliding doors is often expensive or requires permanent installation. By using a sun screen with suction cups, you can mount the screen directly onto the glass, simple, affordable and without drilling or screws.

  • Suitable for large glass surfaces
  • Can be installed on the inside or outside of the glass
  • Affordable alternative to traditional solutions

The benefits of sun screens with suction cups for sliding doors

Sliding doors require a flexible solution that works with both the size and daily use of the door.

 

This is why you choose Sun Eclipse for your sliding doors:

  • Custom-made for every sliding patio door with flat glass
  • Easy to install yourself
  • The sliding door remains fully usable*

 

*Important: Our suction cups are 3.5 cm high. Please check in advance whether your sliding door can still fully open when the Sun Eclipse screen is installed. If you take this into account, it is an ideal solution for effective heat protection without drilling or screws.


Not enough space to install the screen on the outside? You can also mount the Sun Eclipse screen on the inside of the glass.

Inside or outside installation on your sliding door?

Sun screens for sliding doors can be installed on either the outside or the inside of the glass. When mounted outside, sunlight is blocked before the glass heats up. This is the most effective way to keep heat out.

If exterior installation is difficult or less practical for your sliding doors, interior installation offers a safe and accessible alternative. You can easily mount the screens from inside your home while still noticeably reducing the temperature in your living room.

Which screen type for your sliding door: Optimal View or Maximum Sunblock?

For your sliding doors you can choose between two variants, depending on how much light and heat you want to block.

    Optimal View

    • Blocks up to 85% of heat when mounted outside
    • Maintains your view to the outside

Installing sun screens with suction cups on your sliding doors

Our sun screens with suction cups are specially designed for large glass surfaces such as sliding doors. The screens are fully custom-made so they fit perfectly onto the glass of your sliding door.

You can easily mount the sun screens directly onto the glass without drilling, screws or permanent installation. Both interior and exterior installation are possible, depending on your situation. When installing outside, make sure there is enough space between the sliding door panels (at least 3.5 cm) so the door can still open and close smoothly.

Installation in short:

  1. Clean the window and suction cups
  2. Place the screen and tighten the suction cups
  3. Enjoy a cool and comfortable home all season long

 

Removing the screens is just as easy and quick. Store the sun screens clean and dry so they can easily be reinstalled next spring.

Maintenance and lifespan of sun screens with suction cups for your sliding door

Sliding doors are often exposed to direct sunlight and therefore receive a lot of UV radiation. At Sun Eclipse, both the screen fabric and the vacuum suction cups are resistant to UV radiation and discolouration, keeping them looking good for years.

If your screen is installed on the outside, it may become dirty faster due to dust or rain. Thanks to the special coating, dirt hardly adheres to the screen, meaning you usually only need to clean it once per year. Use the special Sun Eclipse cleaner and a soft cloth to keep the screen, suction cups and glass in optimal condition.

After the warm season, simply remove the sun screens and store them clean and dry until next year.

This is why you choose Sun Eclipse:

  • Only needs cleaning once per year
  • Special coating prevents dirt from sticking
  • Resistant to UV radiation and discolouration
  • Suction cups stay attached all season, even during storms
  • Easy to store
  • 5-year warranty on your purchase
  • Durable solution for daily use with years of comfort

Frequently asked questions

At Sun Eclipse, we continually strive to provide our customers with the best possible support. For this reason, we have collected and answered the most common questions in our FAQ. This way, you can easily find answers to all your questions.

Go to FAQ
  • Do Sun Eclipse screens stay put during strong winds?

    Sun Eclipse screens and suction cups stay put even during a spring storm. Our screens catch little wind because they are close to the windows and the suction cups are designed to last.

  • Do the screens fade after a few years?

    No, the screens are UV-resistant and hardly fade. Both the fabric and the suction cups are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without noticeable loss of quality or appearance.

    Thanks to a special coating, the colors stay vibrant for longer and dirt hardly adheres to the surface.

    In practice, the screens remain in excellent condition season after season, especially if you clean them once a year and store them clean and dry after the season. This way, they last for many years with minimal fading.

  • What does excess fabric mean?

    Because Sun Eclipse screens are placed 2 cm from the window’s surface, the screens are supplied with 1.5 cm excess fabric on each side (3 cm per width and height). As a result, the screens close properly and no heat and light can pass through the edges.

    You can also opt for no excess fabric, for instance, if you have high square upright edges on your window frames. In this case, choose under ‘which type of frame do you have’ the option ‘Deep and angled’ when you order.

    You can request any other changes in the order option. This way you can create a custom sunshade.

  • Can I request a quote?

    Use our online ordering tool and see the price immediately.

  • Do you also provide measuring and installation services?

    Sun Eclipse is an affordable solution to keep your home cool. That’s why we operate online only. By letting customers handle the simple measuring and installation themselves, we keep costs, and therefore our prices as low as possible.

     

  • Do the suction cups leave marks on my window?

    No, the suction cups do not leave any permanent marks or damage on the glass. They attach using a strong vacuum to the smooth surface, without any adhesives or chemicals. After removal, you may occasionally notice a light residue, for example from dust or condensation. This can be easily cleaned with the Sun Eclipse Cleaner and a clean cloth.
