										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="isSelectedEnd">Sustainability starts with the choices we make every day. At DEXTERA, we believe that high-quality materials should not become waste simply because they have fulfilled their original purpose. That is why we repurpose selected leftover <a href="https://dextera.lt/en/fabrics/roller-blind-fabrics/classic-roller-blind-fabrics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fabrics</a> from our roller blind production into stylish notebook covers.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">This initiative gives valuable materials a second life, helps reduce waste, and promotes a more responsible use of resources. Each notebook serves as a reminder that sustainability is not only about large-scale initiatives—it is also about thoughtful decisions made every day.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">These notebooks have become meaningful gifts for our customers and business partners. More than just practical everyday items, they represent shared values: responsible consumption, respect for the environment, and a commitment to a more sustainable future. By giving them as gifts, we share the belief that even small actions can contribute to lasting positive change.</p>
<p>By choosing to reuse materials, we support the principles of the circular economy and encourage a more responsible approach to manufacturing. DEXTERA notebooks are more than distinctive products—they reflect our commitment to sustainability, demonstrating that creativity and responsibility can go hand in hand.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As soon as the warm weather arrives, the terrace becomes one of the most cherished spaces at home. Morning coffee in the fresh air, long evenings with family and friends, or simply relaxing in the sunshine – summer inspires us to spend as much time outdoors as possible. However, intense sunlight and unexpected rain often remind us that true outdoor comfort requires the right solutions. That is why terrace awnings have become an essential element of a comfortable and functional outdoor living space rather than a luxury.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="oie1sy" data-start="502" data-end="557">DEXTERA Awnings – Lithuanian Quality for Your Terrace</h2>
<p>For many years, DEXTERA has been designing and manufacturing premium window covering and outdoor shading solutions. Today, its awnings have become an integral part of modern terraces. Models such as <a href="https://dextera.lt/en/awnings-garden-gazebos/terrace-awnings/arinna/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Arinna</strong></a>, <a href="https://dextera.lt/en/awnings-garden-gazebos/terrace-awnings/helios/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Helios</strong></a>, <a href="https://dextera.lt/en/awnings-garden-gazebos/terrace-awnings/sunna/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sunna</strong></a> and <a href="https://dextera.lt/en/awnings-garden-gazebos/terrace-awnings/apollo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Apolo</strong></a> offer the perfect solution for both terraces and balconies, ranging from compact systems for smaller spaces to large-scale constructions designed for spacious outdoor areas.</p>
<p>The wide range of awning models allows customers to choose not only the right size and design but also the functionality that best suits their needs. Open, semi-cassette, and full-cassette awnings provide different levels of protection for both the fabric and the structure, enabling every customer to select the ideal solution based on usage intensity, architectural style, and individual preferences.</p>

<p data-start="1543" data-end="1875">DEXTERA awnings can be operated manually or with an electric motor, while advanced versions can be seamlessly integrated into smart home systems. Additional features further enhance everyday comfort. Integrated LED lighting extends the enjoyment of your terrace well into the evening, while wind vibration sensors automatically respond to changing weather conditions by retracting the awning in strong winds or heavy rain, ensuring maximum protection and extending the product&#8217;s service life.</p>

<p>Today, a terrace awning is one of the most effective ways to create a comfortable outdoor microclimate. It provides reliable protection from direct sunlight, allowing you to enjoy your terrace even during the hottest part of the day. At the same time, it creates pleasant shade and enhances the overall aesthetics of your outdoor space. DEXTERA awnings are manufactured using high-quality UV-resistant fabrics and durable aluminium constructions, making them perfectly suited for long-term use in Lithuania&#8217;s changing climate. A wide selection of colours, patterns, and configurations ensures that every awning can be tailored to complement both the architecture of the building and the customer&#8217;s personal style.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="q0t7r1" data-start="2465" data-end="2497">Award-Winning Sustainable and Innovative GREEN® Fabrics</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Customers choosing Lithuanian-made DEXTERA awnings can select fabrics from a broad standard collection or opt for innovative sustainable solutions designed for those who value environmental responsibility and conscious consumption. One of the most distinctive options is the advanced <strong>GREEN®</strong> fabric collection. Combining elegant aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, these fabrics actively contribute to a cleaner environment. Developed by <a href="https://sauleda.com/en/green/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GREEN® by Sauleda &amp; Pureti</strong>,</a> they are the world&#8217;s first fabrics capable of purifying the air through photocatalysis. The fabrics help reduce pollutants such as <strong>NO₂</strong>, <strong>SO₂</strong>, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They also feature self-cleaning properties and help prevent mould formation, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. This innovative technology has already received international recognition, earning prestigious <strong>Red Dot Design Award</strong> and <strong>Design &amp; Innovation Award 2024</strong> distinctions. It is an ideal choice for customers seeking not only exceptional comfort and contemporary design but also an opportunity to contribute to a more sustainable future through their everyday choices.</p>

<h2 data-section-id="rqqopd" data-start="0" data-end="44">Solutions for Businesses and Commercial Spaces</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">DEXTERA awnings are increasingly becoming the preferred choice not only for private homes but also for commercial environments. Restaurants, cafés, hotels, and leisure venues are constantly looking for ways to expand their outdoor areas while ensuring maximum comfort for guests during the hottest summer days. Awnings provide an efficient solution by creating shade, protecting against changing weather conditions, and establishing an inviting atmosphere that encourages visitors to stay longer. Commercial customers particularly appreciate flexible and highly functional systems such as the <strong>GEMINI</strong> awning system. Thanks to its mobility, elegant design, and extensive coverage area, GEMINI adapts perfectly to a wide range of business applications—from restaurant terraces and hotel patios to outdoor event venues. These solutions not only improve the customer experience but also help businesses maximise the potential of their outdoor spaces while creating an even more attractive environment for visitors.</p>

<img decoding="async" width="640" height="333" src="https://dextera.lt/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/351040432_GEMINI-POT-01B-praplatinta-2-1024x532.jpg" class="attachment-large size-large" alt="Gemini markizė" size="large" link="none" columns="1" ids="129315" orderby="post__in" include="129315" srcset="https://dextera.lt/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/351040432_GEMINI-POT-01B-praplatinta-2-1024x532.jpg 1024w, https://dextera.lt/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/351040432_GEMINI-POT-01B-praplatinta-2-300x156.jpg 300w, https://dextera.lt/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/351040432_GEMINI-POT-01B-praplatinta-2-768x399.jpg 768w, https://dextera.lt/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/351040432_GEMINI-POT-01B-praplatinta-2-1536x798.jpg 1536w, https://dextera.lt/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/351040432_GEMINI-POT-01B-praplatinta-2-2048x1064.jpg 2048w, https://dextera.lt/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/351040432_GEMINI-POT-01B-praplatinta-2-160x83.jpg 160w, https://dextera.lt/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/351040432_GEMINI-POT-01B-praplatinta-2-750x390.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" loading="lazy" />

<p data-start="880" data-end="1321" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">DEXTERA also offers business customers the opportunity to personalise awnings according to their corporate identity. Awning fabrics can be custom printed with company logos, brand names, or other visual elements. This transforms the awning into more than just an effective sun protection solution—it also becomes a powerful branding and advertising tool that strengthens brand visibility, reinforces corporate identity, and creates a professional impression for customers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We want to celebrate that in 2023 DEXTERA became the general sponsor of the first platform of coherence initiatives in Lithuania “Darom kartu su DEXTERA” (“Doing together with DEXTERA”) and the only environmental festival in the country “Darom prie jūros su DEXTERA” (“Doing by the sea with DEXTERA”).</p>
<p>“We are the generation for whom conservation of nature is a natural philosophy of life. As the market leaders, we feel a great responsibility to ensure that our solutions are focused not only on aesthetics, quality and economy, but also on ecology. Our company employs 200 people, so by supporting “Mes Darom” projects we also promote an internal culture of sustainability and give each of our employees the opportunity to contribute to a cleaner world.</p>
<p>Such social initiatives purify values, unite people and focus on the more meaningful joys of life,” shares DEXTERA Marketing Director Kristina Liese.</p>
<p>On 20 March, “Mes Darom” started with a new platform – “Darom kartu su DEXTERA”, where environmental initiatives and stories of projects that have already taken place will be published throughout the year.  In summer of 2023, the festival “Darom prie jūros su DEXTERA” will take place, during which environmental protection, education and culture are combined. The participants of the event will stabilize the seashore dunes, thereby protecting them from being blown by the wind and will participate in engaging educational activities, concerts and open-air film shows.</p>
<p>“Mes Darom” long-term projects and planned new initiatives corresponded to DEXTERA&#8217;s approach to environmental and social goals.</p>
<p>“Out of respect for nature and the environment in which we work, we<strong> </strong>have installed a 99 kW solar power plant consisting of 250 modules. The plugin on the DEXTERA website allows to monitor in real time how we directly contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and saving trees – currently we already have 1285 saved trees. We hope that other companies will follow our example and choose to use green energy in their activities”, says K. Liesė.</p>
<p>As part of its commitment to sustainability, DEXTERA has been offering its customers eco-friendly roller blinds made from 100% recycled plastic and Scandinavian-style blinds made from recycled aluminium for many years now. DEXTERA is the first and only one in Lithuania to produce <a href="https://dextera.lt/en/awnings-garden-gazebos/terrace-awnings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">terrace awnings</a> with air-purifying fabrics, which have a self-cleaning and mold-reducing effect, thus saving water, chemicals and energy resources.</p>
<p>More information about the initiatives organized by “Mes Darom” and DEXTERA, which invite the public to rally together for change, can be found on the website www.mesdarom.lt</p>

When choosing <strong data-start="757" data-end="774">roller blinds</strong>, it is worth considering not only their design and light control performance but also the functionality of the fabric itself. DEXTERA offers <strong data-start="916" data-end="968">antiviral and antimicrobial roller blind fabrics</strong> that help maintain cleaner, healthier indoor spaces for both residential and commercial environments.</p>
<p data-start="1072" data-end="1246">These fabrics are particularly suitable for offices, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, hotels, restaurants and other public spaces where hygiene is a priority.</p>

<p data-start="1414" data-end="1661">For many years, COULISSE has focused on developing advanced textile solutions that combine functionality with improved hygiene.

<p data-start="1663" data-end="1715">According to COULISSE textile engineer Eva Jongejan:</p>
