Pikkuroof is available in two film variants, each offering distinct benefits for different installation environments and customer preferences. Both versions feature the same reinforced mesh construction and weather protection, differing only in light transmission and appearance.
Clear Pikkuroof (Maximum Light Transmission)
Clear Pikkuroof uses completely transparent PVC film that maximizes natural light reaching your covered terrace or patio. This option is ideal when you want full weather protection—keeping rain, snow, wind, and debris out—while maintaining the bright, open feeling of an uncovered space. Clear Pikkuroof preserves visibility of the sky, clouds, and stars, creating a greenhouse-like effect that keeps your outdoor space naturally lit throughout the day. It's the best choice for covered areas that would otherwise feel dark or enclosed if solid roofing were used, or for climates where maximizing solar heat gain during cooler months is desirable. The clear film remains virtually invisible when looking up through it from below, maintaining your sense of connection to the outdoors while providing complete protection from the elements overhead.
Tinted Pikkuroof (Brown Tint for Sun Control)
Tinted Pikkuroof features brown-tinted PVC film that reduces light transmission and provides comfortable shade beneath your covered area. This option is recommended for installations facing south or west where intense afternoon sun would make your terrace uncomfortably bright or hot if covered with clear film. The brown tint creates a pleasant, filtered light environment similar to wearing sunglasses—you still enjoy good visibility and natural brightness, but without the glare and heat of unfiltered direct sunlight. Tinted Pikkuroof is particularly beneficial in warmer climates or during summer months when reducing solar heat gain keeps your covered space cooler and more comfortable for relaxing or dining. The tint also reduces eye strain from bright overhead light, making the space more inviting for extended use. While the tint reduces light transmission compared to clear film, it doesn't create a dark or dingy environment—the space remains well-lit, just with softer, more diffused light.
Choosing Between Clear and Tinted
Select clear Pikkuroof if: your covered space faces north or east receiving less direct sun, you want maximum natural light throughout the day, your climate is cooler and you appreciate solar heat gain, or you prioritize the open-sky feeling and star visibility at night. Select tinted Pikkuroof if: your covered space faces
