Blinds as sun protection for outside: light control with ROMA

External venetian blinds offer a particularly efficient way of protecting living spaces from heat, glare and intense sunlight. Although large window areas make for bright rooms and modern architecture, they can quickly heat up interiors in summer. This is precisely where external Venetian blinds from ROMA come in: they stop the sun's rays before they reach the window glass, effectively contributing to a pleasant indoor climate.

At the same time, the flexible External Venetian Blinds allow precise light control. Daylight can be regulated individually, glare is reduced and the view outside is maintained at the same time. External venetian blinds thus combine modern thermal insulation, high energy efficiency and contemporary façade design - ideal for new builds, renovations and smart building concepts.

Why external venetian blinds are so effective for sun protection

External blinds are one of the most effective measures against summer heat. This is because the sun's energy is intercepted outside the building before the window pane can heat up.

Image 1: Internal solar shading reduces glare, but can hardly prevent heat build-up. The solar radiation passes through the glass and heats up the interior.

Image 2: Solar shading in the space between the panes only reduces solar radiation by around 10-15 %.

Image 3: External blinds achieve a reduction in solar radiation of around 60-75 %. This keeps living and working spaces pleasantly cool even on hot summer days.
