Summer is a blissful time! Enjoying sunshine, atmosphere and endless days. Although in winter we yearn for those lovely summer days, on the very hottest days we still beg for cooling down. Especially at home: our extremely well-insulated houses heat up, and the only solution seems to be an energy-consuming air conditioning system. Is that so? Awnings are the best way to keep your home cool and keep the heat out initially. With an awning from Harol, you can create a pleasant spot of shade outside on your terrace where you do want to stay all the time and protect your home from the heat of the sun. But which awning is right for you? We will help you choose.
What is an awning?
With a Harol awning you create shade on your terrace, among other things, by means of an awning fabric installed against the facade of your house. The strong articulated arms ensure a large extension, while the beautiful, high-performance case ensures that the fabric stays like new for years because it is neatly concealed.
Advantages of an awning
Shadow creation on your terrace
Our awnings are all equipped with an awning fabric, preventing the sun from penetrating. So on hot days, you always create a shady spot on your terrace where you can still escape the bright sunlight and heat. So you can still intensely enjoy a summer day. Through the targeted combination of a certain projection, the angle of inclination and installation height, we ensure the most perfect coverage of your terrace.
UV protection
With that sunscreen, you and your family are protected from the sun’s harmful rays. So it is not only nice to sit here, but also much better for your health. Our cloths filter more than 90% of UV rays, equivalent to sunscreen factor 50!
Fits seamlessly to your facade
Our awnings all consist of an awning fabric as well as a beautiful cabinet, all with their own unique features. Moreover, our cabinets are perfectly customisable. So you determine not only the colour, but also the shape and finish for a perfect match with your home.
Possibility of automation
You can also fully automate our awnings. Using rain, wind and sun sensors, your solution opens and closes without a hitch. Moreover, a home control system allows you to set certain scenarios. This is easy and safe. For instance, you can make sure your awning opens automatically in the morning, before the sun hits your window, and closes again in the evening when the sun has disappeared. This also gives burglars the impression that you are at home.
Sustainable, energy-efficient solution
Did you know that our solutions are so durable that they can last a lifetime? They are also sustainable for the planet, because you no longer need to use energy-consuming air conditioning. Our blinds are a form of natural cooling that keeps your home fresh, even on the hottest days of the year.
Low-maintenance
Our cloths are treated with a special water-repellent coating that repels dirt and grease, repels mould and is rot-proof. This means they require little maintenance. A polish now and then is more than enough!
Protecting your interior
The sun’s rays can harm not only you, but also your interiors. So our fabrics help to keep your interior beautiful for longer. Think of your curtains, carpet, your sofa, etc. They fade less quickly when they are less exposed to direct sunlight.
Something for everyone
Do you like a sleek, modern look for your minimalist home? Or do you fancy a classic look? Our cabinets are customisable, and you have a wide choice of high-quality canvases.
Did you know you can choose from many more colours than just black, white, or grey? The colour collection of our canvases seems endless: from neutral beige tones to striking turquoise or yellow: anything is possible.
Our solutions: high-performance, beautiful and energy-efficient
Lux
Do you like pared-down design? Luxury? Premium comfort? Then our Lux might be for you. This awning with a minimalist look really suits any architectural style. With the invisibly wired arms, you won’t see any cables and the pure form comes into its own even more. By the way, you personalise it with plenty of options, so it can offer you even more comfort on every level. This topper has been tested at 25,000 cycles. That corresponds to 25 years, opening and closing twice a day.
Did you know that our Lux has even won awards for its innovative design? In 2022, this awning won a Red Dot Award for its innovative product design. In the same year, it was awarded a second time, with the Archiproducts Design Award. If that’s not confirmation of pure quality!

Options
And as if all these advantages were not enough on their own, you can expand our awnings with numerous interesting options.
LED lighting
To enjoy your terrace even longer at night, you can fit our awnings with dimmable LED lighting in a variety of forms, depending on the type of awning you choose: as an LED strip in the case, in the arms, or in the front frame.
Heating
We provide not only the necessary light in the evening, but also warmth. You can choose heating for your awning, so you don’t have to go inside because of the cold when it’s still so cosy outside.
Sensors (wind, rain, sun)
Automate? That’s smart. With wind, rain, and sun sensors, your awning closes or opens automatically.
Volant or vario-volant
And when the sun is low, sometimes you still have some extra shade. With a valance or vario-volant, you solve that problem.
Which awning is right for you?
Clearly, each of our awnings is bursting with benefits. But which solution is best suited to you and your terrace? To find out, you need to ask yourself a few questions. After all, each of our awnings has its own unique features.
