The most important advantages of external blinds

Kategorie

External venetian blinds are a type of window covering that is mounted on the outside of a building. The structure consists of horizontally arranged, movable slats. The slats come in different widths and are made of weather-resistant materials. They are available in many colours, so it is easy to find one that matches the window frames. The slats move on cable or slat guides, which also stiffen the structure.

The mechanism of the blinds does not differ much from the classic interior blinds that have been used in homes for years. However, it is not possible to mechanically control the slats in the case of large windows. Therefore, the whole system is equipped with a drive and controlled automatically. The slats themselves are usually made of aluminium, although there are also plastic slats. The most popular ones are those with a C-shaped cross-section. Facade blinds protect the interior of the house from excessive heat build-up and subsequent heat loss by creating an additional insulating layer behind the window. Blinds also provide privacy, which is necessary for large glazing units, which are generally not covered with curtains nowadays.

Advantages of external blinds in construction

External blinds are a modern solution that fits perfectly with buildings in this style. They give the facade lightness, character and undoubtedly provide an effective variation. The properties of external blinds demonstrate the benefits of having them. Above all, customers appreciate the possibility of regulating the amount of sunlight in the house, which is not possible with external blinds. In this case, it is only possible to partially or completely cover the window. Blinds allow you to freely change the position of the slats, while adjusting the degree of window covering.

In addition, it is a lightweight construction, relatively easy to install and repair, which is an additional advantage for screens installed at heights. Resistance to atmospheric factors makes investing in external venetian blinds a very profitable decision, and the product retains its original appearance and properties for a long time. An additional advantage of external venetian blinds is the possibility of combining them with a weather automation system. The automatic operation of the blinds synchronised with the signal from wind and sun sensors significantly increases the comfort of use and at the same time provides additional protection for the blinds, which will not be exposed to strong gusts of wind, for example.

When is it worth choosing external venetian blinds?

Facade blinds are the perfect solution for passive houses with large windows, which are often also located on the upper floor. Large glazed areas require a solid yet light covering, which is exactly what blinds provide. In the case of passive houses, they are ideal as protection against excessive heating of rooms in the summer. The smooth range of adjustment of the level of darkness helps to adapt the amount of sunlight entering the interior to individual needs, which is not offered by traditional external blinds.
