Stylish and Functional Sun Control System

A well-designed sun control system is essential for contemporary architecture. It's not just about shading; it's about integrating beauty, energy efficiency, and functionality seamlessly into your project. With our handmade outdoor louvres, you can create comfortable and stylish outdoor spaces, reduce indoor overheating, and protect your furnishings from UV damage.

At Lex Blinds, we offer bespoke sun shading systems that combine cutting-edge design with outstanding durability. You can customise the colour (RAL code available) to perfectly match your home's or building’s exterior style. Whether you need a subtle, modern look or a bold architectural statement, our systems adapt to your vision effortlessly.


Our External Louvre Systems

At Lex Blinds, the comprehensive range of external window louvres is designed to meet a wide variety of needs and design preferences. Combining functionality with striking visual appeal, these systems deliver practical benefits, such as effective sun control and energy efficiency, while enhancing the architectural character of any building. Our extensive experience across numerous residential and commercial projects allows us to tailor sun louvre solutions that not only meet but often exceed client expectations, seamlessly blending performance with elegant design.


Sliding External Aluminium Louvres

For those seeking flexibility and sleek style, our sliding external aluminium louvres are the ideal choice. These outdoor aluminium louvres can be moved manually or motorised, giving you full control over sunlight penetration and privacy. The sliding mechanism allows for easy adjustment depending on the season or time of day, ensuring comfort year-round.

With Lex Blinds' extensive experience, we guarantee smooth installation and excellent functionality even for complex architectural designs. Enhance your property with versatile sun louvres that adapt to your lifestyle and weather conditions.


Fixed External Louvres

Prefer a more permanent solution? Our external fixed louvres offer robust and maintenance-free shading. Once installed, these aluminium external window louvres act as a powerful barrier against intense sunlight, helping regulate indoor temperatures naturally. They're perfect for creating a consistent aesthetic while offering reliable, passive energy-saving benefits.

Designed for durability and aesthetic appeal, our fixed external louvres enhance building facades with sharp lines and contemporary elegance—a great investment for those prioritising both performance and visual harmony.


Why Choose Aluminium Sun Shade Louvres?

Choosing aluminium sun louvres means investing in lasting quality, energy efficiency, and a greener future. Handmade with care and precision in the UK, these external aluminium louvres are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions — protecting interiors from sun, rain, snow, and wind — while naturally reducing indoor heat gain and lowering energy consumption.

Crafted from durable, fully recyclable materials, sun shade louvres combine innovation, style, and sustainability. With flexible options like specialist design services, supply-only solutions, and 0% finance, Lex Blinds makes it easy to create an attractive, efficient, and truly bespoke architectural statement.


Durability

Our external aluminium louvres are crafted from high-grade materials designed to withstand even the harshest weather conditions. Resistant to corrosion, UV damage, and wear, they ensure a long-lasting investment with minimal maintenance. Aluminium’s inherent strength makes it the perfect choice for both residential and commercial projects looking for enduring style and function. All our aluminium sun louvres come with a warranty of up to 5 years, ensuring long-term reliability and confidence in your investment.


Energy Efficiency

The innovative design of our sun control louvres significantly reduces indoor heat gain by shading windows and facades, cutting down the need for artificial cooling. By limiting direct sunlight exposure, these sun shade louvres help maintain a naturally cooler indoor environment, leading to lower energy consumption and utility bills. Similarly, our thermal blinds focus on improving insulation throughout all seasons. By preventing heat loss in winter and minimising heat gain in summer, thermal blinds create a stable indoor climate, reducing the need for both heating and cooling systems.


Sustainability

Eco-conscious homeowners and developers will appreciate that outdoor louvres are fully recyclable and support greener building practices. Aluminium production has become increasingly eco-friendly, making aluminium external window louvres a responsible choice for those wanting to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on quality or aesthetics.


Applications of External Louvres

Versatile and stylish, external sun louvres are suitable for a wide range of applications across residential, commercial, and public spaces.


Sun Breakers for Facades

Sun breakers aren't just practical — they are an architectural statement. Installed over large facades, they provide necessary shading while contributing to a striking and dynamic appearance. Facade louvres can create mesmerising visual effects through light and shadow, enriching a building’s character while performing an essential climate control function.


Outdoor Louvre Panels for Windows

Strategically installed outdoor louvre panels for windows offer optimal protection where it’s needed most. Whether for bedrooms, offices, or living spaces, these sun louvres shield interiors from excessive sunlight, protect against UV damage, and enhance privacy — all while maintaining natural light flow and effective ventilation.

Similarly, outdoor electric blinds provide an adaptable shading solution, offering precise control over light and privacy at the touch of a button. While sun louvres offer a more fixed architectural solution with passive temperature control, electric blinds allow dynamic adjustment based on weather, time of day, or personal preference. Whichever option you choose, both systems from Lex Blinds ensure stylish protection and enhanced living comfort.
