Comfortable rest after workout

The sports school in Sankt Pölten, Austria, is a place where athletes from all over the country have excellent conditions for training and recovery. The facility offers the opportunity to practice 21 disciplines, including football and ice hockey, attracting the best athletes. The high comfort of training is due to professional equipment, modern infrastructure and adequate rest conditions. The dormitory has been equipped with an impressive number of 226 electrically operated VMZ awning blinds, which effectively reduce interior overheating, ensuring proper recovery after intensive workout.

VMZ awning blinds – comfort of use and protection against excessive heat gain

Vertical VZM awning blinds effectively protect rooms against overheating, while providing a pleasant atmosphere inside. As the awning blind is fitted on the outer side of the window, most of the sun’s rays are stopped in front of the glass, thus preventing overheating. Absorbed heat is emitted to the outside, keeping interiors cool and comfortable even on the hottest days.

Having been equipped with FAKRO | INNOVIEW awning blinds, the rooms in the dormitory in Sankt Pölten are effectively shaded and have an influx of natural light as well. Young athletes can enjoy a view of their surroundings while appreciating privacy during the day. Moreover, the VMZ awning blind eliminates harmful light reflections, which is crucial not only when working, but also during relaxation, when your eyes need rest.

Functionality and energy-efficiency at the highest level

Electrically operated VMZ awning blinds stand behind convenience and comfort of use. They can be controlled by means of a wall switch or remote control. In the case of the dormitory in Sankt Pölten, the complex of 226 awning blinds is controlled via an app on a tablet or smartphone. The intuitive operation makes it quick and easy to adjust the level of the window shading to current needs. An additional advantage is the insect screen function, which is especially appreciated by athletes during summer days. Another aspect associated with the VMZ awning blinds is energy-efficiency performance as they effectively reduce the need for air conditioning, translating into lower energy consumption and operating costs.
