Summer is coming, and that means: warm weather, bright sun, and temperatures easily heading towards tropical. Wonderful 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 — fully produced in the Netherlands.
Our screens keep your home four to six degrees cooler, without needing to run the air conditioning constantly.
Why screens are so effective against heat
Screens form a strong barrier against heat and annoying sunlight.
They block solar radiation before it reaches the glass, keeping indoor temperatures much better controlled.
Advantages at a glance:
-
Up to 4–6°C lower indoor temperature on hot days
-
Less air conditioning use → energy-efficient & cost-effective
-
No annoying glare on TV, laptop, or furniture
-
Sleek, modern look that fits any facade
-
Ideal for the Spanish sun thanks to high-quality Dutch materials
Our Sunco fabrics are designed to block intense sunlight without limiting 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:
-
Fabric color
-
Transparency level
From subtle outside view to almost complete privacy -
Frame color
Available in multiple textured coatings matching your facade
Important: the level of transparency does not change the cooling effect. So you can safely choose what suits your home.
Extra privacy — without sacrificing daylight
Screens do let you look outside (depending on the fabric), but prevent passersby or neighbors from easily looking inside.
Do you want optimal privacy? Then choose a less transparent fabric type.
Do you want maximum visibility and cooling? Then the more transparent variants are perfect.
In any case: daylight stays inside, heat stays outside.
Windproof and weather-resistant — ideal for the Costa Blanca
Sunco screens are fully zipper-guided.
That means:
-
The fabric is fixed in the side guides
-
No flapping or fluttering
-
Highly wind-resistant — essential in Spain
-
Fabric stays beautiful thanks to anti-mold and weather-resistant coating
In winter, the fabric rolls safely into the cassette, protected against rain and cold.
