Gumax® sun shading product information
The standard in heat and light reflection
With Gumax® automatic sun shading, you sit considerably cooler under your veranda, even on the hottest days. The fabric reflects 89% of heat radiation and gives you a shaded patio in no time. You can install the sun shading under a Gumax® veranda and under other types of veranda. On this page, you can read all about material, the effect on temperature, operation, maintenance and assembly.

Material
Gumax® automatic sun shading lasts for years and forms one seamless whole with your veranda. This is made possible by:
- Profile colours: matt anthracite (RAL 7016), matt white (RAL 9016) and matt black (RAL 9005), the same colours as Gumax® verandas. This way, the sun shading blends seamlessly with your veranda.
- Sun shading fabric: synthetic material with woven aluminium threads, in white with a silver sheen. The fabric keeps out bright sunlight without completely darkening your veranda. This way, you choose the colour that suits your style.

Gumax® Excellence Superior Coating
Your sun shading stays beautiful for years, without intensive maintenance. Coatings vary greatly in quality, and after a few years you will see the difference. That is why the profiles are finished with Gumax® Excellence Superior Coating, a matt powder coating. The coating offers you:
Stays beautiful for years: superior gloss and colour retention
Top quality: from AkzoNobel – Interpon, a world leader in powder coatings
Low maintenance: an easy-care finish
Guaranteed quality: designed to QUALICOAT performance requirements
Resistant to sun and weather: protects against UV light and the elements
A responsible choice: free from volatile organic compounds and heavy metals
Comparison with other sun shading
A traditional canvas fabric only provides shade. Gumax® automatic sun shading also reflects heat radiation, thanks to its synthetic fabric with woven aluminium threads. It reflects 73% of visible light and as much as 89% of heat radiation. Read the comparison between Gumax® sun shading and other types of sun shading in this article.
Effect under glass and polycarbonate
Gumax® sun shading works under glass roofs and under opal polycarbonate. The graphs show the temperature directly under the roof, with and without Gumax® sun shading. Solar radiation increases and then decreases over the course of the day. The calculation* is based on this hypothetical situation:
The patio tiles retain a lot of heat
The sun shines freely, without any clouds
The outside temperature reaches 30°C at the warmest time of day
The veranda is closed on both sides and open at the front
There is little wind
Clear glass
- Without Gumax® sun shading
- With Gumax® sun shading
Opal glass
- Without Gumax® sun shading
- With Gumax® sun shading
Opal polycarbonate
- Without Gumax® sun shading
- With Gumax® sun shading
With every Tuinmaximaal roof type, Gumax® sun shading ensures a considerably lower temperature. The difference is greatest under a glass roof.
Tip for the hottest days: open your glass sliding doors and close the sun shading. This lets the warm air escape.
* Every situation is different. That is why the calculation is based on a hypothetical situation. Many factors determine the actual temperature under your veranda. No rights can be derived from this calculation.

Under-roof sun shading
Enjoy a beautiful fabric and a pleasant temperature for years. This is made possible by:
- Installation under the roof panels: you install the sun shading between the beams. This keeps the fabric protected from the weather and outside dirt, so it lasts longer.
- Compact storage: the fabric is stored compactly. This keeps the sun shading neatly tucked away under your veranda.
- Reflective sun shading fabric: the unique Gumax® sun shading fabric reflects heat radiation at the top surface. With standard under-roof sun shading, heat often gets trapped under the veranda. This keeps the temperature under your veranda considerably lower than with a standard canvas fabric.
Sun shading at the front and side of the veranda
Thanks to Gumax® sun shading, you can close off the top of the veranda with a sun shading screen according to your wishes, thus creating more shade under the veranda. There are also very good options for sun shading at the front and/or side(s) of the veranda. Gumax® Shading Panels are panels with slats that you easily mount and slide in the convenient rail system. The unique Rhombus design of the slats is also water-repellent. This will ensure the right amount of shade and shelter at any time and allows you to enjoy your veranda even longer.
Operation
Shade exactly where and when you want it. You operate Gumax® automatic sun shading quickly and intuitively with the wireless remote control supplied.
- Shade in the right place: each sun shading strip has an electric motor. You operate the strips together or individually, up to as many as 16 strips.
- As much shade as you like: stop the sun shading in any position you want.
- Always ready to use: the remote control has a rechargeable battery that you charge via USB-C.
Maintenance
Little effort, lasting enjoyment. The fabric sits under the veranda, so Gumax® sun shading needs minimal maintenance. The system is also self-lubricating, which saves you work.
A little dust on the fabric? You can easily remove it with a feather duster:
- Open the sun shading halfway and unplug it from the socket.
- Carefully pull the sun shading out of the cassette.
- Clean the top of each hanging slat with the feather duster.
- Remove any stains with a slightly damp cloth, without cleaning agents or solvents.
Please note: only fold the fabric once it is completely dry.
Handy tips
- Strong wind? Retract the sun shading for a while.
- Enjoying a barbecue or candles? Keep them well away from the fabric. This keeps it looking good.
- Do you also have a Gumax® standing patio heater? Place it at least 50 cm from the fabric.
