If privacy could be considered a luxury a few years ago, today — in an increasingly dense urban context — it has become an essential design requirement.
With the entry into force of the “Green Homes” Directive (EPBD), solar light management has also become a pillar of energy efficiency: a veranda or pergola not protected by technical shading risks turning into a summer “heat trap,” nullifying the savings achieved in winter.
Solar Shading: what it is and why it is mandatory in 2026
To be defined as “solar shading” under the 2026 Ecobonus, a structure must be integral to the building, mobile, and have a solar factor gtot <= 0,35.
Sunroom shading systems, such as Sunshadow, Oskura Verticale and Oskura Orizzontale, guarantee compliance with these technical parameters, allowing for a reduction in solar heat gain of up to 80%.
Bespoke light engineering
Sunroom solutions represent the most versatile choice for those seeking the perfect balance between external visibility and privacy, without sacrificing design and a modern, refined aesthetic.
Unlike fabric awnings, adjustable extruded aluminum slats offer superior mechanical resistance and decade-long durability without maintenance.
- Light Modulation: Thanks to the rotation of the slats, it is possible to regulate the entry of natural light up to 90%, eliminating glare in glazed interiors and creating an ideal microclimate for relaxation.
- Dynamic Privacy: The vertical slat option is particularly suitable for lower floors or apartment complexes, as it prevents external views without sacrificing natural ventilation.
Oskura Verticale: Security, Shading, and Acoustic Insulation
For those who need total protection, Oskura Verticale integrates three functions into a single motorized system. When fully closed, Oskura acts as a security barrier thanks to the patented coupling system between slats and guides, while offering total blackout.
Furthermore, the slats contain insulating material that contributes to the soundproofing of the environment, reducing noise and making the veranda a space of absolute quiet.
Smart Automation: managing the outdoors with weather sensors
Sunroom shading systems are smart systems, in line with the needs of modern home automation. The integration of light and wind sensors allows the structure to react autonomously to climatic conditions.
- In winter, the system opens to encourage solar gain — passive thermal gain — contributing to room heating and energy savings.
- In summer, the slats orient themselves automatically to block the zenithal sun, reducing the thermal load and cooling costs.
