Front-mounted external venetian blinds are installed in front of the window. Their separate box makes these external venetian blinds suitable for planned new builds, renovation and subsequent installation, subject to the available fixing and installation space.

Front-mounted external venetian blinds can be specified with rectangular, half-round or square boxes, as well as versions designed for plaster integration. This allows the box and guides to be coordinated with the façade detail.

Motor operation is standard for many configurations. A solar drive may be suitable for retrofit projects where a mains connection is not planned. Available colours and slat types provide further design options.

WAREMA front-mounted external venetian blinds, window awnings and roller shutters can be planned with coordinated box shapes and colours. This supports a consistent façade appearance when different functions are required at different windows.

All three product types are installed in front of the window. Depending on the building and fixing situation, they can be used in new builds, renovation or subsequent installation.

Benefits of the system approach:

  • coordinated box shapes and colours
  • different functions within one façade concept
  • options for new-build and retrofit details
  • clear product selection for each room

Where different functions are required, Front-mounted roller shutters can provide privacy and room darkening, while Front-mounted awnings provide textile solar shading.

Front-mounted external venetian blinds are generally motor-operated. The drive and control system should be selected for the installation situation and required functions.

Available options include:

  • Motor drive: connection to the building power supply and compatible controls.
  • Solar drive : an option for selected retrofit situations, using a solar panel, control unit and storage battery.

Compatible accessories can extend the operation and integration of external venetian blinds. Depending on the system, options include controls, sensors, insect screens and safety-related components. Availability and suitability depend on the selected product and installation detail.
