A listed building is beautiful, unique, and often protected. But how do you keep your home cool without installing sun shading on the facade? Traditional systems usually require modifications that need approval for heritage properties.
Fortunately, there’s a smart and safe solution: Sun Eclipse screens. In this blog, you’ll discover why our sun shading is the ideal solution for historic buildings.
A listed building has special architectural, historical, or cultural value. Think of townhouses, churches, windmills, or unique residential homes. Many of these buildings are officially protected as municipal or national heritage sites. This means you’re often not allowed to make changes to the exterior without approval from the municipality or heritage authorities.
At the same time, you still want to keep your home comfortable and cool. Sun shading is essential for that. But how do you do this without violating regulations or affecting the character of the building?
In most cases, you’ll need a permit if you want to make changes to the exterior of a listed building, such as installing awnings or canopies. Approval is only granted if the appearance of the building remains unaffected. This means: no drilling, no permanent modifications, and often no visible elements on the outside.
For temporary or non-permanent solutions, the situation is different. Interior sun shading or systems that leave no permanent marks are often allowed without a permit. And that’s exactly where Sun Eclipse screens make the difference.
Our sun shading screens are attached directly to the glass using specially developed suction cups. This means no drilling, no screws, and no adhesives. As a result, window frames, glass, and facades remain completely intact, making this solution perfectly suited for listed buildings, where preservation is key.
In addition, the screens offer excellent heat reduction: up to 97% of solar heat is blocked when mounted on the outside. Even when installed on the inside, you’ll immediately notice a difference in temperature. Your home stays comfortably cool, without compromising the appearance or structure of your property.
Even in a listed building, you want to enjoy a cool and comfortable indoor climate. Sun Eclipse sun shading makes this possible, without altering the appearance or structure of the building.
Curious if Sun Eclipse is suitable for your listed property? Feel free to get in touch. We’re happy to think along with you and provide a solution that fits both your situation and heritage regulations.

At Sun Eclipse, we continually strive to provide our customers with the best possible support. For this reason, we have collected and answered the most common questions in our FAQ. This way, you can easily find answers to all your questions.
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.
The suction cups are a maximum of 100 cm apart. If your screen has a length and/or width that is larger, an extra suction cup is placed halfway so that the maximum distance between two suction cups, measured along one side, is never greater than 100 cm.
Sun Eclipse screens are made of sustainable material, last a long time and ensure lower energy consumption when using air conditioners. It is the simplest solution to indoor heat.
Because Sun Eclipse screens are placed 2 cm from the window’s surface, the screens are supplied with 1.5 cm excess fabric on each side (3 cm per width and height). As a result, the screens close properly and no heat and light can pass through the edges.
You can also opt for no excess fabric, for instance, if you have high square upright edges on your window frames. In this case, choose under ‘which type of frame do you have’ the option ‘Deep and angled’ when you order.
You can request any other changes in the order option. This way you can create a custom sunshade.
Sun Eclipse is an affordable indoor heat solution. That’s why we are online only. By letting the customer do the measuring and assembly, we keep costs, and therefore prices, low.
