Too much heat under your patio cover? Discover the benefits of a pleated solution

A patio canopy allows you to sit outside for longer, regardless of the season. Yet in spring and summer, many people find that it can quickly become very hot under a glass patio cover or a cover with polycarbonate sheets. Rising temperatures sometimes make comfort less pleasant than expected.

With a pleated solution under the patio canopy, you create more control over light and atmosphere. The KeJe Splendid Terrace Cover Plissé has been specially developed as stylish and practical sun protection for customised verandas and terrace coverings.

Why does it get so hot under a patio cover?

A glass or polycarbonate patio roof allows a lot of natural light through. This creates an open look, but also means that heat easily accumulates under the roof. Especially on sunny days, temperatures can rise quickly. In addition, a patio cover is often partially enclosed. This results in less air circulation and heat stays under the roof for longer.

Many people therefore look for a solution that gives them more control over the amount of sunlight under the veranda, without losing the open character of the canopy.

The Splendid Terrace Cover Plissé: practical and attractive

The KeJe Splendid Terrace Cover Plissé helps to reduce direct sunlight and create more comfort under the canopy. The KeJe Splendid Terrace Cover Plissé is specially designed for installation between the panels of a terrace cover.

Combining functionality with a sleek look, the plissé system is a stylish addition to the veranda. The system is available in various UV-resistant fabric colours and is fully custom-made. As a result, it neatly matches the dimensions and look of the veranda.

An important advantage of the system is its operation from two sides. This allows you to easily determine how much light and shade you want to create at different times of the day.

In addition, the pleated fabric remains compactly folded when the system is not in use. In this way, the patio covering retains its open look.

What advantages does a pleated system offer under a patio covering?

A pleated system under the patio covering offers several practical advantages in daily use.

Greater control over light

With a plissé solution, you control how much sunlight you let through. This provides more comfort during sunny days and makes it more pleasant to sit outside.

More atmosphere on the terrace

Besides the practical advantage, a pleated system also creates a warmer and more atmospheric atmosphere under the veranda. Especially in the evening, this contributes to a comfortable outdoor space.

Compact and neatly concealed

When the fabric is not in use, the system folds up compactly. As a result, the structure of the patio covering remains clearly visible and the whole looks neatly finished.

Suitable for large patio covers

The Splendid Terrace Cover Plissé is suitable for widths up to 1000 mm and heights up to 5000 mm. This makes the system applicable to many different types of verandas and canopies.

Made-to-measure for every situation

Every terrace canopy is different. That is why the Splendid Terrace Cover Plissé is fully custom-made, so that the system fits neatly between the panels of the existing canopy.

Here, attention is paid not only to the right dimensions, but also to appearance and personal preference. There is a choice of six UV-resistant colours for the pleated fabric and the frame is available in various standard RAL colours. In addition, the frame can also be finished in any RAL colour or with structure. This allows the Splendid Terrace Cover Plissé to nicely match the style, colour and finish of the existing terrace cover.

Easy installation between the panels

The Splendid Terrace Cover Plissé is designed for installation between the beams of the terrace covering. Thanks to the specially developed tape for patio covers, a neat and tight finish is created.

The system is supplied as a custom-made product and is designed to integrate nicely into the existing structure of the veranda.

In addition, the fabric is easy to operate and smooth in everyday use.

What other solutions are there for sun protection under a patio cover?

Besides pleated systems, loose fabrics or screens are sometimes used under a patio cover. These solutions often take up more space or have a different look. In contrast, a patio pleated solution is often chosen because of its sleek finish, compact system and flexible operation between the panels of the canopy.
