Sun protection sails
Foldable Sun Sails
Also known as rope pull awnings
Foldable sun sails work in a similar way as awnings with the difference that the cloth is not wound up a roller when stroke but folded into even folds. This is why they are often called rope pull awnings.(Faltsegel, Markisen, Seilspannmarkisen)
No matter which name you prefer you will always make the right decision since the flexible Folding-Sail-Awnings unite the best properties of a sun sail and an awning. On the one hand the easy and variable fixing of a sun sail and the flexible changeability in size of the cloth layers on the other.(Sonnensegel, Stoffbahnen)
As a flexible shadow donator they are not only popular for the home area, not only to cover a beautiful pergola but also for the interior in order to embellish glass roofs in modern buildings or conservatories with a textile sky and ant the same time control sun radiation. Partly this reminds of a baldachin which means no flaw to the optical delight. (Schattenspender, Glasdächer, Wintergärten)
Foldable sun sails are led between two parallel stretched ropes. Therefore flexible hooks are mounted to the longer opposite sides in regular distances on which the sun sail can slide in any direction on demand. As some roofs might be rather high and the sail cannot be controlled manually there is the possibility to operate it by means of a rod or pull cord or even by a small electric motor.
