Winsol awarded no less than 2 Red Dot Design Awards for 3rd year in a row

Including Best of the Best for the Pergola Z!P and Z!P CUBE

Winsol, specialist in sun protection since 1876, continues to leave its mark on the market for innovative and designer sun protection in 2021. And this has not escaped the international Red Dot jury either. Winsol has won no less than 2 Red Dot Design Awards this year: one for the SolarBox solar-powered roller shutters and our first Best of The Best award for the Pergola Z!P. Both will be presented during Red Dot Design Week from June 21-25.

Pergola Z!P and Z!P CUBE: Best of The Best

The Red Dot: Best of The Best award is the highest award and is only given to the best designs in each category. These products stand out in terms of innovation and are future-proof. The seamless and modern design and the innovative functionalities of the Pergola Z!P are the main reasons why this pergola received a Red Dot: Best of the Best award this year.

The Pergola Z!P exists in 2 models: the Z!P with pitched roof and integrated gutter and the Z!P CUBE (see photo) with horizontal roof and more modern look. Both pergolas are attached to the house and include a retractable canopy with sun-resistant fabric.

Like the 2019 award-winning Pergola SO!, the Z!P is equipped with all comforts such as LED lighting, Bluetooth speakers and heating. Thanks to the Pergola Z!P, Winsol has a solution for every architectural style and budget.

Winsol Solar Box Red Dot Design Award 2021 Gold RT Innovation Award 2021

SolarBox exterior roller shutters: Red Dot Design Award

In addition to the Pergola Z!P, the SolarBox shutters were also designated as winners. Earlier this year, we also received an R+T Gold Innovation award for this product. These roller shutters contain 2 subtly integrated solar panels that can be finished in 4 design ways. In addition to a powerful battery and long life, SolarBox is also defined by its fast installation without electrical cables and cutting and breaking work.

Pergola Z!P and SolarBox during the Red Dot Design Week

From June 21 through June 25, the Red Dot organization is highlighting all the winners during Red Dot Design Week. This will be done through an online exhibition on the website, social media posts, the physical exhibition "Milestones in Contemporary Design" at the Red Dot Design Museum Essen and an exhibit in the Red Dot Design Yearbook 2021/2022.

Both Winsol products will also be featured here.

Winsol is also on the map internationally

These Red Dot awards contributed to the internationalization of Winsol in recent years. Meanwhile, we are active with our sun protection range in several European countries such as France, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, United Kingdom, Austria, but also beyond the continental borders such as in Canada and the UAE.

Additional challenge for Winsol: we are currently working hard on our partner networks in France, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. Soon, the first Winsol Concept Store will open in Dubai and early next year a Winsol Concept Store will open in Lille, Northern France, where Winsol has been active with exterior joinery and sun protection since the 1980s.

Substantial investment in sun protection production unit

Sun protection is still on the rise and in order to meet the increasing demand, this year Winsol invested heavily in the machinery and warehouse of its production unit in Aalter, where all Winsol sun protection is custom painted and assembled.

Through these investments such as 2 and even 3 shifts, extra storage capacity and customized machines, we want to work more efficiently, automate as much as possible and keep delivery times as short as possible. Something that, following COVID-19 and the shortage of raw materials, is currently a thorny issue in the construction sector.

Finally, with these upgrades we also want to respond to another trend of the moment: the ever larger windows that also need sun protection. Thanks to the new screen converting machine, we now produce large solar screens even more efficiently.

All this will contribute to Winsol's expected sales of 100 mio in 2021.
