Top-mounted external venetian blinds are fitted directly to the window. The window and external venetian blinds are then installed together as one coordinated unit in the structural opening.
Top-mounted external venetian blinds combine the window and external shading system in one structural unit. The system is mounted onto the window before both components are installed together in the opening.
This solution is intended for planned window installations, particularly in new builds. The box can be integrated into the façade construction for a discreet exterior appearance.

Top-mounted external venetian blinds are factory-mounted directly onto the window. Both components are installed in a single step, which reduces interfaces and supports coordination between the window manufacturer and the solar shading specialist.
Planning benefits:
- coordinated dimensions and interfaces
- clearly assigned responsibilities
- integration into the planned building envelope
Discreet integration into the façade
The box sits within the façade construction rather than in front of it. Depending on the construction method, it can be plastered over or integrated into an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS).
Guidance to suit the project: Different guide variants are available for the relevant installation and design requirements.
- guide rails for a robust, clearly defined guide
- cable guidance for a slender appearance
The specification must take the architecture, dimensions, local wind conditions and product approvals into account.
Top-mounted external venetian blinds are motor-operated and can be integrated into compatible control systems. Depending on the control solution, commands can be based on time, sun or wind sensors.
Visible aluminium components such as guide rails and cover panels can be specified in the WAREMA Colour World . This allows the system to be coordinated with windows, façades and roller shutters. The available external venetian blind colours provide further design options.
WAREMA top-mounted external venetian blinds are available with different external venetian blind slat types , including beaded, flat and dim-out slats. The selected slat type influences the appearance, daylight guidance, glare control and degree of privacy.
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.
