External venetian blinds for existing shafts use the installation space provided above the window. Prefabricated components and a self-supporting, plug-in design support coordinated installation of the external venetian blinds within the shaft.

External venetian blinds for existing shafts use an on-site shaft or suitable cover panels to position the box above the window. This keeps the box largely concealed and supports a clean façade detail.

The systems can be planned for renovation and refurbishment, as well as for selected new-build and external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) details. Depending on the construction, visible components can be coordinated with the façade colour.

Where a shaft is available above the window, WAREMA shaft systems can integrate external venetian blinds, roller shutters or window awnings into this installation space. The solution can be used in renovation and in planned new-build details, subject to the dimensions and construction of the shaft.

External venetian blinds for existing shafts are suitable where adjustable daylight and glare control are required without a visible front-mounted box. The slats can be tilted to regulate light and privacy, while the raised slat stack is accommodated in the shaft.

Typical applications:

  • the box should be integrated above the window
  • an existing shaft is available in a renovation project
  • an ETICS or comparable façade detail is being planned

Different shaft systems can be combined on one façade. Shaft roller shutters are suitable where room darkening and additional privacy are priorities. Shaft awnings provide textile solar shading with a lighter visual appearance.

A shaft is an installation space above the window for the box and operating components. Depending on the detail, only functional components such as guide rails and a cover panel remain visible.

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.

You can view products and operating options at Sunlight Experience Centres or contact a WAREMA specialised retailer. The retailer can assess the installation, take measurements, prepare a quotation and arrange professional installation and service.
