Energy-efficient Solutions
Improve the energy efficiency of your property and reduce your carbon footprint.
Block the sun and heat
but not your view!
Exterior mounted Habitat Screens and Rollshutters are more effective than interior mounted window treatments and are proven to prevent overheating, enhance thermal comfort, and reduce on-demand energy use.
Habitat Screens or Rollshutters mounted on the exterior of your building BLOCK THE HEAT before it reaches the window and passes through to the interior of your property.
Interior mounted window treatments are far less effective because they allow heat to transfer through your windows causing uncomfortable heat gains within.
Talius rollshutters are insulated to block the heat as well as the cold and are proven to reduce both cooling and heating energy use in all seasons. They also trap a layer of air between the window and the rollshutter which acts as another layer of insulation. Habitat Screens also slow the rate of heat loss in a similar manner but because they are made from a mesh material, are effective to a lesser degree than Rollshutters.
The solution that is best for you will depend on your specific needs. For example, if you are located in a warm climate year round, Habitat Screens will likely be your preferred choice. However, if you are located in a climate that also has cooler months, you may prefer our insulated Rollshutters as your energy-efficient solution. Read on to learn about the benefits of each.
HABITAT SCREENS
Block up to 99% of the sun’s heat and glare before it reaches your windows without blocking your view.
Talius Habitat Screens™ reduce:
harmful solar radiation
UV damage to furniture and flooring
ambient room temperature by approximately 11 degrees celsius
the need for artificial cooling
your carbon footpint
Talius offers a variety of fabric weave densities to match the exact amount of solar protection you desire. The tighter the weave density, the more energy-efficient the Habitat Screen will be.
Habitat Screens are completely retractable and easily operated by manual or motorized control. Add optional remote control, sun and wind sensors for even greater convenience.
ROLLSHUTTERS
Block up to 100% of the sun’s heat and glare in summer and reduce heat loss in winter.
Talius Rollshutters reduce:
heat loss in winter by as much as 19%
cooling energy demand by as much as 50-80%
moisture condensation on the interior surfaces of windows
harmful solar radiation
UV damage to furniture and flooring
light and sound transmission
Talius rollshutters are many solutions rolled into one! Not only are they a proven energy-efficient solution, they are a long-lasting one with several added benefits. They create black-out conditions for daytime sleepers, reduce sound by 13 decibels or more, and create an effective barrier against would-be intruders.
Operated by manual or motorized control, Rollshutters can also be integrated with building automation systems.

Dynamic solar shading is the most energy-efficient solution.
Combine motorized control, with sensors and automation to achieve the most energy-efficient solution possible.
The ideal system is one that reacts to the changing environment and positions your Habitat Screens or Rollshutters to capture solar gains in winter and block them in summer. Program the system to react to the position of the sun according to the season to maximize your energy savings.
