Sun screens with suction cups

The most affordable alternative to traditional sun shading is suction cup sun shading. This system is available from just €25 and is 10 to 15 times cheaper than electric screens. It requires no installer, no measurement appointments, and no long lead times. You measure it yourself, order online, and receive your screen within 3 to 5 business days.

With traditional screens, a company needs to visit for measurements, provide a quote, and handle installation — quickly costing hundreds of euros per window. With suction cup sun shading, you order fully custom-made screens, including for non-standard window shapes like triangles, trapezoids, and semi-circular windows, at a fraction of the cost.

The vacuum suction cups are tightened directly onto the glass, ensuring an extra secure fit. No drilling is required, making it ideal for rental properties and listed buildings. With a Maximum Sunblock screen, you achieve up to 97% heat reduction — comparable to expensive electric systems.

For outdoor installation, darker colors such as Anthracite, Concrete, and Black block the most heat. A dark screen absorbs sunlight and releases the heat on the outside, similar to how a black T-shirt absorbs heat. Combined with the Maximum Sunblock screen type, this achieves up to 97% heat reduction.

For indoor installation, lighter colors (White or Boulder) perform better. Light screens reflect a large portion of sunlight, meaning the screen itself barely heats up — similar to how a white T-shirt reflects heat.

For slanted windows, roof windows, and skylights, the screen always rests against the glass due to the angle. Dark screens absorb more heat and transfer it to the glass, which can cause the glass to heat up and create tension. That’s why a white screen is required for these applications.

Additionally, dark screens offer better visibility than light screens. It’s easier to see through a dark screen because light is absorbed rather than reflected. The choice between light and dark therefore depends on two factors: the installation position and how important visibility is to you.

A suction cup screen is easy to install yourself — no tools and no drilling required. The vacuum suction cups are tightened directly onto the glass surface, creating a strong and secure hold. An extra suction cup is added per running meter for additional support.

The glass surface must be completely flat for proper adhesion. The system is therefore not suitable for textured glass, patterned glass, existing window film, or stained glass. Always place the suction cups directly on the glass, not on uPVC frames. Due to the angled edges of uPVC frames, suction cups don’t adhere well — on glass, adhesion is much better.

Windows with muntins can be specified as a non-standard window shape. This ensures the suction cups are positioned between the bars. The suction cups come with color-matching caps that blend seamlessly with the screen for a clean look.

You can install the screen on both the inside and outside of the window, although outdoor installation provides the best heat reduction.

The most effective way to block sunlight is with sun shading positioned about 2–3 cm away from the glass. Curtains are often too far from the window, allowing sunlight to enter and heat to build up. Window film is applied directly to the glass, causing the glass itself to heat up — which can even lead to cracks.

Suction cup sun shading offers the best of both worlds. The screen is attached directly to the glass with vacuum suction cups and sits about 2 cm away from the window. This blocks sunlight before it enters the room, without causing the glass to heat up.

The system is suitable for all window types, including non-standard shapes such as triangles, semi-circular windows, and trapezoids.

You can install the screen both inside and outside. Outdoor installation is the most effective, as heat is released outside. Indoor installation is a great solution for apartments and rental homes.

No drilling is required, delivery takes 3 to 5 business days, prices start from €25, and it’s 10 to 15 times cheaper than an electric screen.

No, the screens are UV-resistant and hardly fade. Both the fabric and the suction cups are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without noticeable loss of quality or appearance.

Thanks to a special coating, the colors stay vibrant for longer and dirt hardly adheres to the surface.

In practice, the screens remain in excellent condition season after season, especially if you clean them once a year and store them clean and dry after the season. This way, they last for many years with minimal fading.

Sun Eclipse screens and suction cups stay put even during a spring storm. Our screens catch little wind because they are close to the windows and the suction cups are designed to last.
