External awning blind for vertical window VMZ Z-Wave Solar

Large glazed surfaces are the hallmark of modern homes as they ensure bright interiors and unobstructed views. However, when the sun is shining at full strength, comfort begins to decline. This is when the VMZ Z-Wave Solar awning blind becomes the ideal choice, preventing rooms from overheating without restricting natural light. Installed outside, it reflects and diffuses sunlight before it reaches the glazing, ensuring a pleasant climate in the living room, bedroom or office, even on hot days. The semi-transparent fabric guarantees privacy without obstructing the view or the flow of daylight.

Aesthetics and reliability in every detail

The VMZ Z-Wave Solar awning blind has been designed with minimalist aesthetics in mind, blending seamlessly with the facades of modern buildings. The retractable fabric made of fibreglass covered with a PVC layer is resistant to stretching, does not fade in the sun, does not deform and does not absorb moisture. The awning blind fabric gently filters light, blocking UV radiation that could damage furniture or fabrics. Comfort is complemented by insect protection as when rolled down, the awning blind allows you to open the window even in the evening without letting mosquitoes and flies inside.

A system that fits your lifestyle

The VMZ Z-Wave Solar awning control system is fully wireless and exceptionally convenient. The device is powered by solar energy – it does not require connection to the electrical system, which allows for installation even in hard-to-reach places. The built-in solar panel charges the battery even in diffused light, and the stored energy is sufficient for daily operation of the device for a long time. You can operate the awning blind via a remote control or smartphone – also as part of the Smart Home system. You can program it to operate only in hot weather, open at dawn or respond to temperature changes.

Cassette

The VMZ Z-Wave Solar awning blind cassette is made of coated aluminium. Its construction is lightweight, yet durable and corrosion-resistant. The cassette houses both the rolled-up fabric and the motor and solar panel. All these elements are completely hidden, improving the aesthetics of the installation and protecting the mechanism from weather conditions. There are three cassette shapes to choose from: oval, rectangular or round, as well as four standard colours: RAL 7022, RAL 8003, RAL 9005, RAL 9010, allowing for a harmonious match with the building’s style.

Guide rails

The VMZ Z-Wave Solar awning blind guide rails are made of aluminium and equipped with a ZIP system that ensures precise fabric guidance along its entire length. This solution prevents the fabric from slipping out of the track even in strong winds, while keeping it under constant tension. The guide rails are colour-matched to the cassette and are available in four standard colours: RAL 7022, RAL 8003, RAL 9005, RAL 9010. They do not require any interference with the sash structure. Thanks to their slim design, they do not restrict visibility or affect the functionality of the window.

Fabric

The VMZ Z-Wave awning blind fabric is highly resistant to weather conditions and provides effective protection against excessive sunlight. It is resistant to fading and moisture, which guarantees its aesthetic appearance for many years. The fabric is available in four transparency groups, and the wide range of colours allows the awning blind to be matched to various architectural styles – from traditional to modern.

Solar panel

The heart of the VMZ Z-Wave Solar awning blind is an integrated photovoltaic panel, responsible for powering the entire system. It charges the built-in battery that drives the motor controlling the unfolding and rolling up of the fabric. The panel does not require full sunlight to operate – diffused daylight is sufficient to effectively collect the energy needed for the daily operation of the awning blind. The battery charges automatically and lasts for many operating cycles, eliminating the need for servicing and regular maintenance.

 

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.

 

Characteristic features

Our products stand out for what truly matters. Discover the features that make them reliable and exceptional in everyday use.

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.
