Our story

The solution to heat in the home

In the hot summer of 2018, my wife was pregnant with our second child. It got oppressively hot inside and we tried everything to keep the heat out. Regular solutions helped a little, but the result was still insufficient. An extensive search for professional sunscreens was disappointing. Without exception, they were very expensive, had a long delivery time and had to be installed by specialised professionals. It had to be simpler, faster and better than that, right?

We looked for the solution and created a screen that could be placed in front of the windows. The sloping attic windows also had to block as much sun as possible, but we wanted to be able to see the street from the kitchen. In addition, I found it very important that the sun protection screens fit tightly on the windows so that the appearance matches the rest of our well-maintained house.

"Another important point was that the mounting had to be simple and that the fabric had to remain firmly in place for months without too much care"

You don’t want to worry if you are away from the house and a summer storm comes along unexpectedly… Finally, the fabric, which stays outside day and night, had to remain beautiful and preferably not discolour or lose its shape.

When we installed the first version, we knew we were doing the right thing. The screens kept out a lot of heat and looked tidy. In the meantime, after five long summers of hanging outside constantly, we can assure you that no discolourations have occurred and they still fit just as tightly as on the first day.

Things have moved fast since that first prototype. Neighbours and friends asked if we could also make screens for them and one thing led to another. We received requests from all over the Netherlands for all types of windows, to exceptional shapes. It turned out to be an ideal solution for anyone who did not want or could not make permanent changes to their facade. This busy period was ideal for us to optimise the screens and has resulted in a number of essential adjustments. As a result, our sunscreens can be made to measure and it is therefore even easier for anyone to install on all types of flat windows.

We think our solution can help a lot of people. That’s why we founded Sun Eclipse. Because we want to make affordable sun protection for every window accessible to everyone in the Netherlands and Belgium! Where are you going to hang them?

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.

  • 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.
