Why choose external venetian blinds?

As the warmer months roll in and we look for ways to keep our homes and offices comfortable and energy-efficient, external venetian blinds present an appealing solution.

Warema’s external venetian blinds are crafted with precision in Germany, offering bespoke solutions that ensure a perfect fit for any window size. These blinds stand out for their functional prowess without compromising on style.

Something for every setting External venetian blinds are ideal for covering large areas of glazing. They are a superb choice for offices and other workplaces where reducing glare is essential for maintaining a productive work environment.

On the other hand, their ability to provide adjustable shading makes them equally suitable for home settings, where comfort and privacy are paramount.

Regardless of where you choose to install external venetian blinds, they offer many benefits from privacy to temperature control.

Benefits of external venetian blinds

A precise fit for every window Every one of Warema’s external venetian blinds is made to measure. Each blind is tailored to fit each of your windows perfectly, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

Efficient cooling when you need it most External venetian blinds are better than internal blinds at reducing solar gain. As we begin to experience hotter weather in the UK, this is increasingly important. Opting for external venetian blinds over an air conditioning system can lead to significant cost savings, not to mention a lower environmental impact.

Retain heat during the colder months The insulating properties of external venetian blinds provide benefits beyond the summer months in the UK. In the winter, they serve as an extra insulating layer for your windows. By blocking heat loss, they keep warm air in and cold drafts out. This dual-function makes Warema external venetian blinds a year-round asset, helping to keep your heating costs down when temperatures drop.

Home security with a modern twist External venetian blinds can deter burglaries by providing a visible form of protection and hiding your possessions from view. Opt for motorised venetian blinds and you can have them open and close at predetermined times. This is great for deterring potential intruders by making it seem like someone is always home.

Built to withstand the elements What about the British weather, you ask? Designed with horizontal slats, external venetian blinds allow wind to pass through to prevent damage in adverse weather conditions. For optimal protection, integrate your blinds into a smart home system. Many motorised blinds can be programmed to retract during extreme weather, extending their lifespan.

Create a quiet and calm space Noise reduction is an unexpected but welcome feature of some blinds, especially in urban settings. Lowering your external venetian blinds can help muffle city sounds, creating a calmer indoor environment. This makes them perfect not just for residential settings but also for workplaces that need to keep the hustle and bustle of the outside world… well, outside.

Customisation at your fingertips With a wide array of colours and materials to choose from, you can select blinds that suit your aesthetic preferences. Whether you want your blinds to pop or recede discreetly into your building’s façade, the choice is yours. The Warema configurator is available online and enables you to visualise different options for external solar shading.

Hand-operated or motorised: you decide Whether you prefer the simplicity of hand-operated blinds or the convenience of motorised solutions, Warema caters to all preferences. Motorised blinds, which can be integrated with smart home systems, offer ease of use at the touch of a button.

Why choose external blinds? External shading (blinds installed on the outside of your windows) works better than the more common internal shading solutions. This is because external blinds are able to deflect the sun’s rays before they have even entered your room. On the other hand, internal blinds allow the sun’s rays to penetrate through the glass and into your room. Some of this heat inevitably dissipates into your home and increases the temperature, even if you have very energy efficient blinds. With all this in mind, external blinds are an excellent choice if one of your main goals is to make your building more energy efficient.
