AMZ awning blind – effective protection against room overheating

Whether sun protection is effective depends on its location. The AMZ awning blind offered by FAKRO has been designed to stop solar radiation before it reaches the glass and enters the interior. Mounted on the outside of the window and made of durable technical fabric, it absorbs heat and emits it outside, successfully reducing the temperature rise in the room.

FAKRO research has confirmed that the AMZ awning blind provides up to 8 times more effective protection against heat compared to traditional blinds installed inside. This translates into tangible benefits in terms of thermal comfort and reduced air conditioning costs. This solution is designed for standard FAKRO roof windows and is available with a range of control options, from manual to electric and solar.

AMZ awning blind advantages – why to choose it?

Effective protection against overheating – blocking sunlight before it reaches the glass.
Optical comfort – eliminating light reflections, improving working and resting conditions.

Easy operation of the AMZ awning blind at your fingertips

The AMZ manual awning blind is a reliable sunshade designed for roof windows installed within easy reach. It is operated using a standard 80 cm long rod (a 150 cm long ZSZ rod can be purchased separately), allowing for easy and quick adjustment of the fabric position without the need for electrical power supply.

This electronic-free solution guarantees trouble-free operation and no additional operating costs. It is an ideal option for those who value simplicity of use and independent control over light and temperature inside the room. Importantly, when rolled up, the awning blind does not restrict the glazing area, allowing natural light to freely enter the interior.

Electric operation of the AMZ awning blind for convenience and full comfort

The electric AMZ awning blind is a convenience you’ll appreciate every day. Using a remote control, wall switch or mobile app, you can quickly roll up or down the cover without having to open the window or get up from your sofa. It is the perfect solution for roof windows, especially those that are difficult to access, where every movement counts.

The awning blind can operate automatically, reacting to sun thanks to its integration with the Smart Home system. A solar version is available as well, drawing energy from the sun's rays. The built-in panel and battery mean that you do not need to connect your blind to the mains as it operates independently and is maintenance-free.

The awning structure is based on an aluminium cassette and a fabric rolled up on a spring-loaded shaft with motor. The fabric is stabilised in guide rails with a zip tape, withstanding wind gusts of up to 120 km/h, and side wind speed of up to 220 km/h.
