Then a vertical awning is the ideal solution to provide protection against the sun and glaring light – at the touch of a button. At the same time, it keeps prying eyes away. When the wind gets stronger, a vertical awning creates a sheltered room under your patio canopy. Learn more about vertical awnings for patio canopies now.

What is so special about heroal vertical awnings?

Made in Germany

heroal products are characterised by a spirit of innovation combined with highest quality. The vertical awning by heroal is yet another outstanding example of best quality „Made in Germany“.

Easy care

The textile used for the vertical awning heroal VS Z is very easy to clean and maintain. If not needed, the awning retracts into the patio canopy. That way, the textile is perfectly protected against all kinds of weather and soiling.

Wind resistant

Even stronger squalls do not cause any problem for heroal vertical awnings. Similar to an air lock, it provides reliable protection against squalls and draught – even when the wind gets stronger, thanks to the reliable zip technology.

The zip-guided sun protection awning heroal VS Z can be perfectly integrated into the patio canopy system heroal OR – even at a later date. The 90° cubic box design and the fully integrating installation create a very harmonious appearance. The textile sun protections are made of transparent mesh fabrics that, by means of reflection, make it possible to reduce sun radiation by up to 75%. At the same time, UV-radiation is filtered by up to 98 %. The innovative zip technology makes sure that the sun protection textile runs very smoothly and reliably in its guide rails, withstanding high wind speeds. heroal VS Z vertical awnings cover widths up to 5 m and heights up to 6 m without the need of any centre guidance. This way, heroal VS Z vertical awnings provide for an optimal room climate and protection against prying eyes when under your patio canopy on hot days, and reliable protection against draught when it gets chilly outside.

Advantages of vertical awnings

Protection against glaring light

Depending on the time of day and the season, the sunlight hits your patio at a lower angle. A vertical awning provides protection from direct sun radiation when the sun is low in the sky, enabling you to enjoy your time on the patio without being blinded by the sun – at sunrise or sunset, in spring, summer or autumn.

Protection against prying eyes

Would you like to enjoy some undisturbed time on your patio and keep prying eyes out? A vertical sun protection for your patio canopy creates additional room for privacy and protects you from prying eyes.

Protection from wind and weather

Vertical awnings are ideally suited to protect you against draught or wind and rain on windy and rainy days. So you can enjoy the sheltered patio space, even if the wind changes direction.
