Articulated-arm screens

Articulated-arm screens for every terrace: a holiday in your own garden

An articulated-arm screen – also known as a sun awning or patio awning – is the most elegant way to create shade on your terrace. It blocks UV rays, keeps your home cooler in summer and lets you enjoy outdoor living for longer and in greater comfort. At the touch of a button, your articulated-arm screen extends, and when you no longer need it, it disappears neatly into a sleek box mounted against the façade.

Your questions answered by our expert

“Many terraces are simply too hot to really enjoy on sunny days. With an articulated-arm screen, you create shade exactly where you need it, without having to choose a fixed structure straight away.”

- Jonas Stappaerts

Which articulated-arm screen colour keeps things coolest?

Lighter fabrics reflect more sunlight and keep the temperature on your terrace lower. Darker shades filter bright light and provide more shade and privacy. With the Wilms SunCollection of 24 popular fabric colours, you will always find a shade that suits you.

Is an articulated-arm screen resistant to rain and wind?

An articulated-arm screen is primarily designed for solar protection. In light rain, the screen can remain open, but in heavy rain or strong wind we recommend retracting it. The box protects the fabric and arms, helping everything last longer.

Can I connect my articulated-arm screen to smart home systems?

All Wilms articulated-arm screens are equipped with a motor that is compatible with a remote control, mobile app and smart home systems. This allows you to operate your sun awning easily from a distance.

How easy is an articulated-arm screen to maintain?

An articulated-arm screen is easy to maintain. When retracted, the fabric is safely stored in the box and remains protected from the weather. This allows you to enjoy a sleek and durable result for many years.
