Automatic Shading
Your shading does not always have to be operated manually. With the right automation, it can be controlled at set times or according to predefined conditions.
For example:
☀️ During the Day
The shading closes at a scheduled time.
🌡️ During the Warmest Hours
The shading remains closed to help limit direct sunlight reaching the glass.
🌙 In the Evening
The shading opens or closes according to a preset scenario.
The exact options depend on the selected system and the automation available.
Ideal for Large Glazed Areas
Smart control is particularly useful when multiple shading systems are installed within the same space.
TopShade supplies electric shading for:
- Rooflights
- Roof windows
- Glazed roofs
- Conservatories
- Verandas
- Atriums
- Large vertical windows
Depending on the control system selected, multiple shading systems can be operated individually or together.
