Two solutions, each with their own advantages

At Sun Eclipse, you can choose between two types of sun shading screens, both mounted with our special suction cups, so no drilling or screws required. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation and are fully made to measure.

The choice mainly depends on how much heat you want to block and how much natural light you want to keep.

    Optimal View: cooling while keeping your view

    Do you mainly use the space during the day and want to keep natural light? Then Optimal View is the better match. These screens block up to 85% of heat when installed on the outside, while maintaining a bright and open atmosphere.

    Optimal View is ideal for spaces such as living rooms, extensions, kitchens, or conservatories, areas where you want to keep things light and open, but still stay cool. Even when installed on the inside of the window, you’ll notice a clear temperature difference, especially when choosing a lighter color like White or Boulder.

    • Blocks up to 85% of heat when installed on the outside
    • Maintains your view to the outside
    • Ideal for living rooms, conservatories, and kitchens

Conclusion: choose

Frequently asked questions

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.

Go to FAQ
  • Do Sun Eclipse screens stay put during strong winds?

    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.

  • How many suction cups will my Sun Eclipse screen have?

    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.

  • Is a Sun Eclipse screen sustainable?

    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.

  • What does excess fabric mean?

    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.

  • Will you come to my house to measure the windows and install the screens?

    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.
