Summer is coming, and that means warm weather, bright sunshine, and temperatures that easily approach tropical levels. It's lovely outside, but inside, it can quickly become uncomfortably warm.
Besides closing windows and curtains and ventilating well at night, there is one solution that really makes a difference: screens .
At Port of Altea, we work with Sunco , a premium Dutch brand known for top quality, durability, and perfectly finished custom solutions — produced entirely in the Netherlands.
Our screens keep your home four to six degrees cooler , without having to constantly run the air conditioning.
🌡 Why Sunco screens are so effective against heat
Screens form a powerful barrier against heat and annoying sunlight.
They stop the sun's rays before they even reach the glass, which means the temperature inside remains much better under control.
Advantages at a glance:
-
Up to 4–6°C lower indoor temperature on warm days
-
Less air conditioning use → energy-efficient & cost-effective
-
No annoying glare on TV, laptop or furniture
-
Sleek, modern look that suits any facade
-
Ideal for the Spanish sun thanks to high-quality Dutch materials
Our Sunco fabrics are designed to block intense sunlight without obstructing your view — exactly what you need in Mediterranean homes.
🔍 Choose your ideal light transmission
The screens can be fully customized to your wishes.
You choose yourself:
-
Color of the canvas
-
Transparency level
From a subtle view to almost complete privacy -
Frame color
Available in several textured paints to match your facade
Important: The degree of transparency doesn't affect the cooling effect . So you can confidently choose what suits your home.
👀 Extra privacy — without sacrificing daylight
Screens allow you to look outside (depending on the fabric), but prevent passers-by or neighbors from easily looking in.
Want optimal privacy? Then choose a less transparent fabric.
If you want maximum visibility and cooling, the more transparent options are perfect.
In any case: daylight stays inside, heat stays outside .
💨 Windproof and weatherproof — ideal for the Costa Blanca
Sunco screens are fully zipper-controlled.
That means:

In winter, the canvas rolls up safely in the cassette, protected from rain and cold.
