High Performance Venetian Blind

An external venetian blind is a great alternative to an indoor blind because it offers better thermal and light control. The blinds sit outside the glass, so they can completely eliminate any unwanted heat gain from the sun.

Questions People Ask About Our External Venetian Blinds

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.

Are they available in different colours?

Yes, we have over thirty colours to suit your style and décor. For some customers, we have also added custom metallic finishes to suit the decor needs.

Are Venetian Blinds worth it?

Venetian blinds are very energy efficient. They are especially good at reducing unwanted heat gain from the sun because they block the sunlight before it reaches the glass. Outdoor shades can also lower from the ceiling, creating wind blocks in outdoor spaces. However, some blinds will need to be retracted in the event of really high winds.
