Outdoor Blinds

External blinds are an efficient and attractive way to control the light entering your space. Innovative outdoor blinds, such as external roller blinds or remote control venetian blinds, are among the best solutions for exterior blinds.

Reasons to Love External Blinds

External blinds are suitable for almost any size windows or patio doors. They keep buildings cool in the sun and provide excellent control over the light entering your space.

01

Automated Electric Blinds

External blinds automated

You can combine external blinds with smart home technology. This makes it easier to keep your house at the right temperature. You can easily adjust the light levels to suit your mood and schedule.

02

Efficiency Above All

External blinds efficient

External roller blinds are very efficient because they stop the sunlight from reaching the glass. This dramatically lowers the heat gain caused by the sun. Side guides and high-quality materials prevent sagging and flapping.

03

Suitable for the Weather

External blinds all weather

External blinds from James Robertshaw can withstand many weather conditions. Of course, they should be protected in a gale. But they are engineered for normal use in cold, rain, wind, and harsh sun.

Case Study

Old Spitalfields Market

With 4 large open entrances, wind tunnelling and cross winds created uncomfortable environments for both residents and visitors. We installed one of the UK’s largest outdoor blinds at 8.4 metres in width. From beginning to end, we delivered the project within four weeks.

Questions People Ask About Our Exterior Blinds

What is an outdoor roller blind?

Outdoor roller shades are fitted to the exterior of the window. They are made from waterproof and weatherproof fabric. The sides of the shades usually follow a tensioned cable or have teeth that zip into a side channel.

How do roller blinds work?

The tensioned roller blinds extend and retract when desired. Our blinds can be operated with a chain or automated with remote controls. They can also be connected into an automated smart home system.

What is an exterior venetian blind?

These are durable horizontal blinds fitted to the outside of the window. They ensure a high level of choice for how much light enters the room. External blinds are more efficient than internal blinds because they can drastically lower solar heat gain.

How do venetian blinds work?

External blinds work in the same way you expect internal blinds to work. There is a gear and cable mechanism for opening, tilting, and closing the blinds. For some models, an electric motor can be added to make operation even easier.
