A venetian blind is a slatted shading product. Internal venetian blinds are installed inside the room, while external venetian blinds are installed outside the glazing.
The distinction is relevant because the installation position affects materials, guidance, weather exposure, planning and maintenance requirements.
An external venetian blind has horizontal slats that can be tilted to regulate light and raised or lowered to open or shade the window. Internal and external variants differ primarily in their installation position.
External venetian blinds are installed outside the glazing. Tiltable slats regulate daylight, glare and privacy. Because shading occurs before solar radiation reaches the glass, a correctly planned and operated system can support a building’s energy efficiency. The actual effect depends on glazing, orientation, dimensions and use. WAREMA systems use external aluminium venetian blinds and can be operated manually or by compatible motor and control solutions, depending on the product.
