External flush-mounted awning blind for vertical window VMU Z-Wave

The VMU Z-Wave awning blind is the answer to the needs of people who value thermal comfort, privacy and aesthetics in their home. When installed in front of the window pane, it effectively block sunlight before it penetrates the interior, significantly reducing temperatures even on the hottest days. Unlike internal blinds, it prevents the window panes from heating up, which translates into a real improvement in indoor conditions. An additional advantage is the semi-transparent fabric, which allows you to enjoy daylight without having to completely darken the room.

Automation that works for you

The VMU Z-Wave awning blind motor allows for remote control via a remote control or wall-mounted button, and with the HC3 Lite gateway, it can be managed from a smartphone. The awning blind can be integrated into a Smart Home system, programmed with operating schedules, and set up with weather-dependent scenarios. All this without having to get up from the sofa or interrupt your daily activities. With just one click, the awning blind can be lowered during hot weather, raised after sunset or respond to temperature rises. Power is supplied from the mains as the awning blind requires no sunny location or battery charging.

Design that harmonises with the building's architecture

When choosing the VMU Z-Wave awning blind, you do not have to sacrifice aesthetics for functionality. The external cover has been designed to blend harmoniously with the appearance of the building, allowing most of the awning's structural elements to be hidden behind the façade. A wide range of available colours allows for a perfect match to the style of the building. Unlike traditional blinds, the awning blind fabric does not completely block out daylight – it gently filters it, creating a pleasant indoor atmosphere. At the same time, it protects furniture, floors and decorations from harmful UV radiation.

Cassette

The VMU Z-Wave awning blind cassette, made of corrosion-resistant aluminium, conceals the entire mechanism and fabric, protecting it from rain, dust and snow. Its compact form makes the awning blind virtually invisible when rolled up – only a subtle line on the façade reveals its presence. The cassette design guarantees smooth operation of the system while emphasising the building's modern character. The VMU Z-Wave is available in four colour options, allowing it to match windows and façades without any visual compromise.

Guide rails

The aluminium guide rails of the VMU Z-Wave awning blind are designed to allow the fabric to move quietly, stably and without resistance – even in strong winds. The system uses a side ZIP lock, which keeps the fabric taut, preventing it from billowing and slipping out of the track. The guide rails are thin, elegant and colour-coordinated with the cassette, so they are inconspicuous and do not interfere with the aesthetics of the façade. Their durability and resistance to external conditions guarantee long and trouble-free operation of the entire system.

Fabric

The fabric used in the VMU Z-Wave awning blind is extremely durable and resistant to mechanical damage, UV radiation and changing weather conditions. It remains lightweight and flexible, allowing the awning blind  to unfold smoothly and without creases. The fabric is available in four light transmission options – from complete blackout to slight darkening (0–10%), allowing you to perfectly adjust the level of sun protection to your individual needs. A wide range of colours allows you to harmoniously match the awning blind to the appearance of your building.

Characteristic features

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.
