Conservatory awnings - sun protection and heat protection from inside or outside

A conservatory awning protects against excessive sunlight and prevents the room from overheating on hot days. Without sun protection, a conservatory can heat up quickly in summer, resulting in uncomfortable temperatures and high UV exposure.

A conservatory awning ensures pleasant temperatures, glare-free light, and improved energy efficiency, as it reduces the strain on air conditioners and fans. It also protects furniture, floors, and plants from fading due to UV radiation.

A conservatory awning offers comfort, protection, and helps maintain the value of your conservatory. Furthermore, it transforms it into a truly comfortable space on sunny days.

The mounting position of the awning on the conservatory varies. An on-glass awning is installed on the outside of the conservatory, above the glazing. It ensures that the sunlight is reduced before it reaches the glazing.

In contrast, an under-glass awning is mounted beneath the roof panes. It runs directly under the glass surface, thus providing effective shade without altering the external appearance of the structure.

Although both options offer sun protection , heat protection, and glare reduction, they differ in terms of installation method, appearance, and structural possibilities. Therefore, the choice always depends on the type of conservatory and the structural conditions.

MOBAU conservatory awnings are electrically operated and can be conveniently controlled via switch or remote control. Additionally, the awnings can be equipped with sun, wind, or rain sensors. These ensure that the awning extends or retracts automatically depending on the weather conditions and protect the fabric from being overloaded by wind or rain.

Electric conservatory awnings offer high comfort, optimal sun protection and durability, while sensors ensure additional safety and comfort.

MOBAU conservatory awnings offer convenient extras that significantly enhance their usability and ambiance. The ability to link multiple awnings is particularly popular, allowing for even shading of large areas and enabling synchronous or individual control of the systems.

Furthermore, awnings can be equipped with integrated LED lighting – optionally in white light or RGB colors, which can be controlled wirelessly. This allows not only for the creation of pleasant lighting atmospheres, but also for optimal illumination of the patio or conservatory after dark.

Extras such as radio control, weather sensors or coupled systems make the awning a flexible, comfortable and stylish sun protection solution that adapts perfectly to your needs.

Over-glass awning – advantages:

• Reduces solar radiation even before glazing.

• Keeps conservatory cool early in the day

• Protects furniture, floors and plants from direct UV radiation.

• Discreet external mounting possible

• ​

Under-glass awning – advantages:

• Provides direct, even shade under the glazing.

• Flexibly adjustable depending on the position of the sun

• It does not change the external appearance of the conservatory.

• Protects against glare and overheating in the interior.

Yes, with under-glass awnings, warm air can accumulate between the glass roof and the awning fabric in strong sunlight, potentially causing heat buildup. However, this can be significantly reduced by regularly ventilating the conservatory. This keeps the room at a comfortable temperature while the awning continues to provide effective shade and glare protection.

A conservatory awning is a high-quality, custom-made product. The price is as individual as your conservatory itself. Instead of general estimates, it's helpful to understand the factors that significantly influence the price:

• Size and complexity: The dimensions of the glass surface are the most obvious factor. Complex roof shapes (e.g., with slopes or hipped roofs) also play a role.

• Model and mounting type: Depending on the structural situation, different types of awnings (e.g., on-glass or under-glass awnings) are used.

• Fabric quality: The selection ranges from standard acrylic fabrics to high-performance fabrics with special heat reflection or self-cleaning effects.

• Drive and control: The price varies greatly depending on whether you opt for a simple electric motor with a switch or a convenient radio control (possibly with smart home integration).

• Additional equipment: Optional extras such as sun and wind sensors, rain sensors or integrated LED lighting offer more comfort, but also affect the overall price.

For a binding offer that takes all your wishes into account, measurements and consultation by a specialist company are essential.
