Frequently Asked Questions About Pergolas and Curtains

Category: Curtains and Rooms

We offer a variety of solutions to suit different styles and needs. Our portfolio includes blackout, screen, and sheer elegance roller shades, blinds, fabric curtains, Japanese panels, and Roman shades.

The main types are:

  • Roller blinds: Available in blackout, screen, and sheer elegance fabrics.
  • Decorative and traditional: Fabric curtains, Japanese panels, and Roman shades.
  • Technical:

Note: All our curtains are 100% custom-made to fit the space.

The difference lies in the amount of light that passes through and visibility:

  • Blackout: Its function is to completely block out light, ideal for bedrooms.
  • Screen: Allows natural light to pass through, reduces heat, and maintains the view to the outside, ideal for social areas.

Yes, they improve acoustic comfort, although they do not completely isolate sound.

  • Best performance: Thick, draping fabric curtains absorb echoes and reduce ambient noise.
  • Standard performance: Technical curtains (screen or blackout) provide a slight reduction, as their focus is on thermal (heat) and light (UV) control.

Recommendation: To maximize the effect, use heavier fabrics, floor-to-ceiling curtains, or combine them with other acoustic elements.

Yes. All curtains are made to measure for the space and with the material of your choice.

Yes. They can be manual or motorized and integrated into smart systems such as Alexa or Google Home.

Yes. They improve thermal comfort and help regulate the temperature of the space.

The materials are durable and low maintenance.

  • Screen and Blackout: They do not accumulate dust. They are easy to clean with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner.
  • Decorative Fabrics (Sheer/Traditional): They require occasional specific cleaning depending on the textile or type of fabric.

Not all curtains are suitable for all spaces. Each space has different needs in terms of light, privacy, and functionality.

  • Bedrooms: Prioritize blackout curtains or combinations for maximum light control and privacy.
  • Living rooms/social areas: Use screen or sheer curtains to filter natural light without losing the view.
  • Offices: Durable and easy-to-maintain technical solutions such as roll-up screens or blinds are recommended.

Although both cover windows, they serve different purposes:

  • Curtains (Traditional): Add texture, drape, and decorative warmth.
  • Blinds (Technical): Allow for more precise control of light and privacy with a cleaner aesthetic.


Modeca recommendation:
First define the function (sun control vs. decoration) and the sun orientation of the property.

Yes, using a double system that combines two roller blinds in the same space.

  • Use: A screen fabric is installed for daytime (visibility and UV filter) and a blackout fabric for nighttime (privacy and darkness).
  • Application: Gold standard in hotels and master bedrooms.

To cover large dimensions without losing stability or ease of operation, we recommend:

  • Japanese panel: Ideal for balcony doors and space dividers.
  • Large-format roller blinds: Reinforced systems to cover more area with fewer joints.

Modeca recommendation: Always validate maximum weights and operating load (technical note).

Category: Solar Control Films

They are films installed on existing glass that reduce heat and glare without sacrificing natural light.

  • UV protection: They filter up to 99% of UV rays.
  • Thermal comfort: They reduce heat gain, improving insulation and interior comfort.

It depends on your choice. There are clear, neutral, or darker options, but in general, they are designed to maintain the view to the outside.

In most cases, no. Modern films do not interfere with signals, although some highly metallized options may cause a slight reduction.

Yes, they are the ideal complement.

Synergy: The film acts directly on the glass, improving thermal performance, while the curtain decorates and manages privacy.

No. They are easily cleaned with water and mild soap.

Yes. They are installed on existing glass, without the need for construction work.

Yes, but a technical assessment is required beforehand.

  • Caution: The compatibility of the film must be validated to avoid “thermal stress” that could break the glass.

Modeca recommendation: Never install film on double glazing without professional advice.

Yes. By reducing the heat load entering through the glass, the air conditioning system works less to cool the space, improving the building’s energy efficiency.

Category: Motorization and Security

Yes. Curtains can be manual or motorized. Our motorized systems integrate with smart assistants such as Alexa or Google Home.

There are three options depending on the stage of the project:

  • Rechargeable battery: Ideal for renovations without civil works (no visible cables).
  • Electrical connection (wired): Recommended for new or under construction projects.
  • Hybrid systems: Combination of technologies depending on availability.

Yes, in fact, it is the safest option (“Child Safe”).

  • Safety: By eliminating hanging chains and cords, the risk of accidents or strangulation is eliminated, making them ideal for family homes and public spaces.

Beyond comfort, it offers operational control.

  • Durability: It standardizes raising and lowering, reducing wear and tear from misuse by guests or employees.
  • Efficiency: Allows you to program opening/closing times to optimize the use of air conditioning.

Outdoor Solutions (Sunshades and Pergolas)

It is a parasol with a side pole (not central) that leaves 100% of the space under the canopy free.

  • Ideal use: Restaurants, pool areas, and lounges where flexibility is needed to move tables and chairs without obstacles.
  • Safety: Requires a base specifically sized to support the lever arm and wind.

Yes. They are structures with adjustable slats that offer a dual function:

  • Open: They allow ventilation and light to pass through.
  • Closed: They channel rainwater into integrated drains, protecting furniture and users.

It is a vertical roll-up screen designed for outdoor use. 

Function: It cuts off strong winds without visually closing off the space, allowing terraces and rooftops to be used more comfortably.

New Category: Contract Furniture

It means that it has been manufactured to higher standards of resistance for intensive commercial use (hotels, restaurants, airports).

Difference: Unlike residential furniture, contract furniture withstands high traffic, frequent cleaning, and heavy use without losing stability.

These are tables with technology in the base that automatically corrects “wobbling” on uneven floors. They are essential in the HORECA sector (hotels, restaurants, and cafes) to improve the customer experience and prevent spilled drinks.
