Overview: The solar roller shade that keeps the heat out and opens up the view

Summer is light. But it doesn't have to mean heat

These days, the same scenario plays out in thousands of homes. The sun streams in through the windows, the room heats up like a greenhouse, and there seems to be only one choice: close everything up and do without the light, or leave the windows open and run the air conditioner around the clock.

It’s a choice that doesn’t convince anyone. Anyone who loves their home wants the morning light, the view of the garden or the hills, and the breeze in the evening. But they don’t want to pay for it with the heat and a higher utility bill.

There's a way to have both. It's called Panoramica, Pracal’s sunshade roller shade.

What Is Overview?

Panoramica is a shading system that combines two previously separate worlds: the solar shading of a sunshade and the protection of a traditional roller shutter. But it has one distinctive feature that no other product in its category can claim: it is the only sunshade roller shutter made of insulated aluminum.

This isn't just a technical detail for industry insiders. It's exactly what transforms a product from "beautiful" to "useful all year round."

How It Works: Features That Turn Into Tangible Benefits

The insulated profile blocks the heat before it enters

Panoramica's slats are made of aluminum with internal insulation. While a traditional sunshade blocks light but allows heat to pass through the metal, Panoramica's insulated profile acts as a thermal barrier.

The benefit is immediate: the room stays cooler without having to keep the air conditioner running all day. You’ll see the savings at the end of the month on your utility bill, and you’ll enjoy greater comfort all year round—because the same insulation that keeps the heat out in the summer helps keep the heat in during the winter.

Four levels of opening between the slats: you decide how much light comes in

Panoramica offers up to 4 spacing options between the slats (L05, L15, L20, L27 hooks, ranging from 0.5 to 2.7 cm). It’s not a simple “open/closed” setting—it’s a fine-tuning adjustment.

• Do you just want a sliver of light and maximum privacy? Minimal spacing.
• Want to let in some fresh air and enjoy the view during the cooler hours? Open the windows wider.

The benefit is total control over how much light and air enter your home. The advantage is a room that’s always bright and just the right amount of ventilated, without ever having to choose between darkness and heat.

When the curtain is down, you can see outside, but people outside can't see you

This is the feature that surprises people the most when they try out Panoramica in person. With the fabric fully lowered, the open slats ensure the best possible view of the scenery from the inside, while privacy is maintained from the outside.

The benefit is twofold and seemingly contradictory: you can enjoy the view while remaining unseen. The advantage is being able to enjoy your surroundings in complete comfort—even on the ground floor or at street level—without feeling exposed.

A lightweight design that houses compact and efficient engines

Panoramica is designed with a lightweight yet sturdy profile, which allows for the use of compact and efficient motors. The benefit is smooth operation with low operating costs; the advantage is the convenience of controlling the lighting throughout the entire home with a remote control or via the app, integrating it with leading smart home systems.

Over 70 colors, painted in-house by Pracal

From pure white to solid colors, from special finishes to wood-grain effects: Panoramica can be customized with over 70 colors, all painted directly by Pracal. The benefit is a perfect match with your home’s aesthetic; the advantage is a feature that doesn’t “overpower” but rather enhances the facade.

The numbers, for those who want the details

Panoramica consists of two profile versions : Jolly (extruded, with nominal dimensions of 11.6 x 64 mm) and Insulated (12 x 73.5 mm), with a maximum curtain width of up to 2,500 mm. The system is available with a standard roller and dedicated guides, reaching a maximum height of 3,300 mm. These specifications tell professionals one thing: it is a product designed to be installed easily, just like a standard roller shutter, and to last for many years.

Why Choose It Now?

People who have installed Panoramica all say the same thing: they’ve stopped struggling with their blinds. They no longer lower them “to keep the heat out”—and lose natural light in the process—nor do they keep them up “to see outside”—and get the sun in their faces. They simply adjust them.

It’s the kind of comfort you don’t notice until you experience it—and once you do, you never want to let it go. Just like the best choices for your home: quiet, everyday, and timeless.
