External awning blind for vertical window VML Z-Wave Solar
Sunlight streaming through windows can effectively brighten up the interior, but sometimes intense rays can make daily life difficult. The VML Z-Wave Solar awning blind allows you to enjoy a comfortable temperature even in the sunniest rooms. The fabric moves along thin cables, without side guide rails, which enhances the aesthetics of the façade and does not disrupt the window's appearance. The shade effectively reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the interior, without completely blocking access to natural light.

Automation adapted to the rhythm of the day and season
The VML Z-Wave Solar operates completely autonomously — it rolls down and up depending on light intensity. Summer mode provides shade when the sun is at its strongest, while winter mode allows you to use its heat to passively warm the interior. When sunlight levels are low, the fabric rolls up automatically, protecting the room from energy loss. The cover can also be switched to semi-automatic mode or controlled remotely via a remote control. The VML Z-Wave Solar can also be integrated with the Smart Home system using the HC3 Lite gateway, allowing for smarphone-based operation and scheduling.

Energy independence and simple installation
In locations where supplying electricity would be difficult or costly, the VML Z-Wave Solar awning blind, requiring no electrical connection, is the perfect solution. Inside the cassette there are batteries charged by a solar panel. The cover works best on windows facing south, east or west, where sunlight has constant access to the panel. This power supply eliminates the need for wiring, and remote control allows you to operate the awning blind without getting up from your chair.
Cassette
The VML Z-Wave Solar awning blind cassette is installed in the upper section of the window. This is where the fabric is rolled up, moving along guiding cables. The housing not only protects the fabric from the weather, but also looks exceptionally subtle against the façade. The cassette is available in four colours: white, grey, brown and black, and upon special request in any shade from the RAL palette.
Cables guiding the fabric
The cables are virtually invisible, giving the awning blind a minimalist look. The absence of massive side guide rails makes it a perfect fit for modern façades and large glazed areas. The cables take up much less space than traditional guide rails, allowing for greater design freedom and easier installation, even in unusual locations. The awning fabric moves quietly and smoothly, ensuring comfortable operation and durability. The system is wear-resistant and highly reliable.
Fabric
The PVC-coated fibreglass fabric used in the VML Z-Wave Solar vertical awning blind is distinguished by its durability and UV resistance. It is available in three light transmission versions, allowing you to tailor the shade to your specific needs — from pleasant semi-darkness to gentle light diffusion. The fabric keeps the heat outside while maintaining contact with the outside, creating a welcoming, bright interior even in full sunlight.
Solar panel
The VML Z-Wave Solar awning blind cassette is equipped with a solar panel that powers the battery and enables wireless control. This practical and environmentally friendly solution requires no connection to the mains. Even with limited sunlight, the awning blind remains fully functional as the stored energy ensures its smooth operation for a long time.
Solar awnings should be installed in locations where the solar panel will be exposed to direct sunlight. It is recommended to install solar awnings on the south, west, and east sides. Installing them on the north side may result in battery discharge and the awning becoming inoperable.

Fabric placed outside the window
In all FAKRO vertical roll-up awning models, the fabric is mounted on the outside of the glazing, which allows it to block sunlight before it reaches the glazing, eliminating the hot greenhouse effect. As a result, roll-up awnings effectively reduce interior heating by up to 10°C, ensuring thermal comfort without the need for air conditioning.
UV radiation reduction and interior protection
FAKRO vertical roll-up awnings block up to 90% of UV radiation, protecting furniture, floors and decorative elements from fading and degradation. In addition, the fabric is available in various transparency degrees, allowing for comfortable interior lighting without annoying glare.
Privacy and insect screen function
When rolled down, the vertical roll-up awning provides privacy during the day, limiting visibility from the outside while maintaining contact with the surroundings. Many models also function as a mosquito screen, allowing for ventilation without worrying about insects.
