The advantages of external blinds

Personalized light control

Perhaps the most interesting benefit is the fact that you can precisely control the light entry into your home. Want to let in the gentle morning sun? Completely block the warm afternoon sun? Or how about this: let in sufficient light with the lower slats, but tilt the upper slats so you can work efficiently in your home office without annoying sun rays on your screen. You read that right: you can set the top and bottom slats separately. This also means less need for artificial light. Hello savings!

Extra privacy

The external blinds or outside venetian blinds not only allow you to determine how much light you let in but also prevent outsiders from easily looking inside. Especially when you tilt the slats, you can be sure of complete privacy in your home at any time of the day.

Low maintenance

The slats require very little maintenance. When they do need to be cleaned, it’s very simple and quick due to their high-quality aluminium design.

Energy saving

The air circulation between your window and the external blinds keeps the heat out. Even when the slats are not completely closed, they provide a cooling effect. In winter, they retain much of the precious heat inside thanks to the air cushion when the blinds are fully closed. Thus, you save on your energy bill throughout the year.

Automatable

Did you know that you can automate our outside venetian blinds? Through an app on your smartphone or tablet, or thanks to your home automation system. Moreover, you can opt for wind and sun sensors to ensure that your external blinds also react to weather conditions.

Beautiful for your facade

Lastly, but certainly not least, we’d like to add that our external blinds are simply beautiful to look at. At Harol, functionality always goes hand in hand with timeless design. You can fully personalize the slats with a wide range of colour finishes and the choice of different types of slats.

Why choose external blinds over other sun protection options? They are beautiful, compact, and highly efficient in regulating light entry. They also repel the sun. Sun awnings and screens create more shade outdoors on your terrace, and screens are especially effective at completely blocking the sun.

Screens and external blinds or outside venetian blinds are often presented as alternatives to each other because both are mounted in front of the window and are compact. The type of sun protection that suits you, therefore, mainly depends on your primary goal.
