Are surface mounted screens right for me?
Surface mounted screens are specially developed for situations where you did not plan for screens during construction. Wilms craftsmen install them easily on the outside of your windows, so there is no need to open up your walls. Also discover our built-on screens, built-in screens and other types of solar protection!
How much do surface mounted screens cost?
The price of surface mounted screens depends on several factors: the dimensions of your windows, the shape of the box and any additional options such as a sun sensor or solar power. The average starting price of Wilms surface mounted screens is €890 per screen, excluding VAT and including installation. But because every situation is different, we always prepare a tailored quote. That is the only way to be completely sure the solution fits your budget.
Are surface mounted screens always visible on the façade?
Your surface mounted screens are visible on the façade, but there is no need to worry about that. Wilms boxes are among the smallest on the market and are discreetly finished. You choose the shape yourself (square, round or chamfered) and the colour that matches your windows and façade. As a result, they hardly stand out.
Do Wilms surface mounted screens work automatically?
You can equip your Wilms surface mounted screens with a sun sensor that automatically responds to bright sunlight. Or you can choose control via a mobile app (Somfy), allowing you to operate them remotely. Want to go completely wireless? Then we naturally recommend the solar-powered version, without indoor cables.
What if the battery of my solar screens runs out after 30 days?
The battery has a capacity of at least 30 days, even during cloudy periods. In practice, it often lasts longer because daylight is almost always being captured. If the battery were ever to run flat, it starts charging again as soon as there is light — but in practice, customers do not end up without working solar screens.
