The best protection against sunlight and indoor overheating
External blinds are now considered one of the most effective ways to protect a building from overheating caused by direct sunlight. They protect interior spaces from excessively harsh solar radiation and help create optimal conditions of sunlight and heat. It is estimated that external blinds can block up to 80%. of solar heat, while the air circulating between the blinds and the window does not overheat. In this way, the indoor temperature can be kept up to 9 degrees cooler, creating conditions to reduce energy costs for air conditioning.
The most popular and practical today are lightweight aluminum blinds, characterized by resistance to natural elements (rain, snow, wind, etc.); having various options for horizontal strip (slat) width, bending types, colors, and mounting choices – due to these properties, they are not only practical but also easily matched as an exterior detail to any building facade.
Advantages of external blinds:
- Most effective building protection from overheating due to direct sunlight;
- Adjustment that allows creating optimal conditions of sun-emitted heat and light in the room;
- Blinds can block up to 80 percent of solar heat;
- A temperature up to 9 degrees cooler is maintained in the room;
- Conditions are created to reduce energy costs for air conditioning;
- Choice of control method – manual or automatic;
- Possibility to mount by attaching to the facade or to the window frame;
- Reduced environmental noise level;
- Reduced risk of possible break-in.
Blind slat bending types:
The bending can be “C”, “S”, or “Z” shaped. The “Z” slat bending type is often chosen due to technological advancement, ensuring blind stability (no rattling) even in windy weather conditions.
