Electric blinds from ROMA: precise light control and modern design
In common usage, External Venetian Blinds are often used interchangeably with external sunshades. These exterior sun protection systems consist of adjustable slats that can be controlled electrically. Because they are positioned in front of the window, they reflect the sun’s rays and thus prevent the interior from heating up. At the same time, the amount of incoming daylight can be individually adjusted.
Electric exterior blinds from ROMA impress with their attractive design, durability, and precise daylight control. The slats can be flexibly adjusted depending on the sun’s position—for greater living comfort, less glare, and optimal privacy. They thus provide effective heat protection and reduce heat gain through the window.
