Patio roof awnings from MOBAU Markisen are custom-designed to ensure a pleasant climate, glare-free daylight, and protection for your furniture and plants. Whether you choose an on-roof (exterior), under-glass (interior), or vertical solution for the front, we'll put together the ideal shading combination for your patio roof, depending on its design, orientation, and intended use.

Patio roof awnings – mounted inside (under glass): Advantages & disadvantages
Under-glass mounted patio roof awnings sit protected beneath the glazing. They discreetly control light and view, maintain a clean appearance, and are ideal when external installation is undesirable or structurally challenging.
Advantages
Weatherproof and durable: Technology and fabric remain dry – less soiling, less maintenance.
Quieter, smoother operation: Protected guidance and taut fabric technology for smooth extension and retraction.
Elegant integration: Slim cassette, concealed rails – the architecture of the patio roof remains the focus.
If the patio roof is open at the front and sides, shaded with vertical awnings and not used as a cold conservatory with glass sliding walls, an under-glass awning can be used without any problems.
Disadvantages
Less heat protection than when mounted externally: The solar energy first hits the glass; some of the heat enters the room.
Pay attention to heat dissipation: Ventilation, air circulation and shading should be coordinated, otherwise heat will build up under the roof and the patio roof awning will not provide the desired cooling effect.
Superior optics, protection and smooth operation – ideal when outdoor mounting is not possible or a particularly slim design is desired.
Mounting the awning under the roof provides lasting protection from the elements. This significantly extends the lifespan of both the awning fabric and the mechanism.
Exterior patio roof awnings (roof-mounted awnings)
Terrace roof awnings, mounted on the roof, block solar energy before it reaches the glazing. This significantly reduces the heating of glass surfaces and profiles – the indoor climate under the terrace roof remains noticeably cooler, even on the hottest days. They are particularly recommended for large glass roofs, south-facing roofs, or exposed locations where the sun shines intensely and for extended periods.
Recommendation: Monitoring with weather sensors

Senior:
Wind and sun sensors automatically extend the awning in strong sunlight and retract it in time during storms – for protection, comfort and energy efficiency.
Smart home integration
Control via app, voice assistant, or scenes (e.g., "Summer Midday", "Evening Coolness"). Optionally available with schedules, weather data, and geofencing – ideal for optimal shading of your patio roof at all times.
Conclusion: Which patio roof awning is the right one?
Maximum heat protection and optimal indoor climate under the patio roof – ideal in areas with high sun exposure.
The extended fabric is exposed to the elements and gets dirty and wears out much faster.
A minimum slope is absolutely necessary for use in the rain. If this slope cannot be achieved, we recommend using water-permeable materials.
In strong winds and rain, the awning must be retracted; otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the awning fabric and mechanism.
Under-roof awning
Superior optics, protection and smooth operation – ideal when outdoor mounting is not possible or a particularly slim design is desired.
Mounting the awning under the roof provides lasting protection from the elements. This significantly extends the lifespan of both the awning fabric and the mechanism.
