The need

Light, heat, and privacy.

With a made-to-measure blind, you control light, heat and visibility.

Describe my openings
Too much light
You set the blind at the height you want to control the light.
The heat of the sun
The blind keeps the sun out, indoors and outdoors alike.
Prying eyes
You decide what can be seen from outside and keep your privacy.
An exposed terrace
Our outdoor blinds for terraces, pergolas and gardens are made from materials that stand up to the weather.
An interior to dress
You choose the style, colour and material, and the blind decorates the room.

Cassette Fitted at the head of the opening, it houses the fabric rolled on its tube.

Fabric A blackout fabric makes the room dark, a light-filtering fabric softens the light, and some let you see through.

Side channels On each side, they guide the fabric; the bottom bar keeps it taut.

Exterior blind Fitted in front of the glazing, it stops the sun before it comes in.

Operation Motorised control is an option, indoors and outdoors alike.

The blind, in context

You control the light.

  1. In the morning, the sun is still in the east. The blinds stay up and the view is clear. In the morning, the blinds stay up.
  2. At noon, it is at its highest, due south. The south blinds come down: the sun stays outside. At noon, the south blinds come down.
  3. In the late afternoon, it comes in from the west. As the fabric comes down, the patch of sun shrinks. At 5 pm, the sun comes in from the west.
  4. In the evening, it skims the horizon. With the fabric down, it no longer dazzles. In the evening, fabric down, no more glare.

Line sketch: a two-storey villa, its pool and its pergola.

You choose the materials, the finishes and the controls

Awnings in L’Île-Rousse

What changes in L’Île-Rousse.

Infinity pool terrace facing the mountains: double teak sun lounger, olive tree in a white pot and a copper-brown bioclimatic pergola beyond.

  1. In town and on the heights

    A town balcony, a terrace above.

    Around Place Paoli, many balconies are narrow and space is short; on the heights, villas open onto wide terraces. The folding-arm awning suits both: it fixes to the wall or under a ceiling, with no foot on the ground.

    Pratic houses its folding-arm awnings, T-Hide, T-Code, T-Way or Flex Box, in an aluminium cassette, with LED lighting. On the T-Hide, a motorised valance drops below the front of the fabric to stop the low late-afternoon sun.

  2. Serge Ferrari fabrics

    Choosing the fabric for the use.

    For the folding-arm awning, Serge Ferrari recommends its Soltis 96, whose micro-perforations let air through and keep a view of the sea. For a vertical blind, the manufacturer offers screen fabrics: it states up to 87% of heat blocked with Soltis 86, and up to 97% with Soltis Veozip.

    Serge Ferrari states a 5-year warranty on its Soltis fabrics, for the fabric alone and subject to its conditions. Bear in mind too that an open-weave fabric is still a shade fabric: in a downpour, water gets through.

    See Serge Ferrari fabrics
  3. On windy days

    A fabric that no longer flaps.

    A folding-arm awning dislikes gusts: you retract it when the wind strengthens, and always before closing up the house. On its folding-arm awnings, Pratic highlights an in-house patent, FlexControl.

    For the exposed side of a terrace, the Bandalux zip screen holds its fabric in side channels with a zip. Bandalux rates its Z-Box at wind class 6 under the EN 13561 standard, and offers it as the Z-Box Solar: a solar panel, a battery and a motor, with no wiring.

Your questions, our answers.

Do you install folding-arm awnings in L’Île-Rousse?

Yes, in L’Île-Rousse and the surrounding villages, as everywhere in Corsica. The technical visit takes place at your home, then our team installs the awning. Our other services are on the L’Île-Rousse page.

Which awning or screen to close off a windy terrace?

A zip screen, ideally: the fabric is held along both sides and does not flap. Our page on made-to-measure awnings covers folding-arm awnings, vertical blinds and zip screens.

Awning or pergola for a terrace facing the sea?

The awning gives shade when you roll it out and disappears the rest of the time. The bioclimatic pergola stays in place and also protects from rain. We discuss it with you at the visit.

Can a blind be motorised without running a cable?

Yes, with a solar version. With Bandalux, the Z-Box Solar combines a panel, a battery and a motor. We check on site that the panel will get enough sun.

How much does a made-to-measure awning cost in L’Île-Rousse?

The price depends on the model, the width, the projection, the fabric and the options. We price it on quotation, after measuring at your home. The configurator lets you design your awning in 3D.

How can I contact you to discuss my sun protection or outdoor design project?

Our team answers your questions and presents our services. You can reach us in three ways:

What is a made-to-measure blind and why choose one?

A made-to-measure blind is designed for your space, whether an interior window or an outdoor area. It lets you control light, heat and visibility, and it adds to the decor of your interior or outdoor space.

What types of blinds do you offer?

We offer Venetian blinds, roller blinds, Roman blinds, outdoor blinds for terraces, pergolas or gardens, and other models too, all made to measure. For each type of blind, you choose the style, colour and material.

How do I choose the right blind or awning for my home or outdoor space?

The choice depends on the size of your windows or outdoor space, the sun protection you want and the style you are after. Our experts help you find the right one for your needs.
