And of course that’s the way it is with a custom-made  roller blind in the category „special solution“ too. SOLARMATIC’s oblique shading was developed for unusual glazing and places considerably higher demands on summer heat insulation than on conventional window forms. We subdivide slanted shadows into oblique shapes and in oblique inclination angles. F.ex., for sloping ceilings in the living area could be the desire either for translucent sun protection or the highest possible darkening. We have specialized in the shading of triangular and trapezoidal windows for more than a quarter of a century. Our roller blinds can also be operated from down to up or in the horizontal way.

Even with glass roof pyramids, the individual triangular shadings rise conically upwards and close the whole circle.
