Outdoor Venetian Blinds

Are you looking to add a modern touch to your home’s exterior and get reliable protection against the sun? Then, our motorized outdoor Venetian blinds are worth considering. These work similarly to a classic version providing effective protection against the sun and preventing your home from overheating. The main difference is that retractable external Venetian blinds (UK made) are mounted outside your windows, making it an even more efficient solution for stopping unwanted solar heat, harmful UV rays and noises. There are some more perks worthy of your attention. Learn more about our assortment – the Lex Blinds team has been a part of numerous successful projects across the UK and beyond.

Custom External Venetian Blinds (UK) – For Efficient Light & Heat Control   

Our made-to-measure products are perfect for those who seek innovative solutions for privacy level and light control. Simply adjust the angle of slats and create a wanted ambience – for quality rest or work. Still, modern homeowners are trying to create not only functional but also more resource-efficient spaces. That’s why there’s more and more interest in outdoor-mounted shades and innovative sun control systems (lamels).

As these shading systems are mounted on the exterior, they provide an even better protection layer from:

• Harmful UV rays and sun’s glare
• The heat coming in from outdoors
• Extraneous noises
  

Indoor-mounted Venetian window shades are highly functional, but modern slats ladder mounted on the exterior stops the heat and sun’s glare from outside, making this option even more efficient. You can maintain optimal temperature with lower air conditioning costs. Various slats’ angle positions make it easier to create bright spaces without sun glare illuminating all around (meaning far less effort trying to create that atmosphere with artificial lighting).

Regarding insulation, Venetian blinds from outside provide better protection from noises and, during colder months, cold coming in. Then, adjusted to allow sunlight and warmth to enter, they provide passive solar heating benefits. Let alone the space such solution saves indoors – create a minimalist ambience with less effort.

External Aluminium Venetian Blinds – Sleek Design & Guaranteed Durability   

The perks mentioned above make any of our products an ideal choice for workspaces and modern homes, basically, any spaces where resource efficiency, valuable functions and style are unquestionable. Minimalist design, innovative operations mechanisms and high-quality materials make it possible. Regarding materials, we would like to highlight external aluminium Venetians. While there are quite a few materials options, the aluminium slats ladder stands out with the following:

1. Exceptional durability: aluminium is a highly durable material that perfectly withstands harsh weather conditions – from intense sunlight to heavy rain, strong winds, and even saltwater exposure. This durability ensures our products can maintain their functionality and appearance for years. Also, robust material is perfect for improving insulation from outdoor noises.
2. Modern, minimalist style: our aluminium outdoor Venetians are popular for their sleek and minimalist aesthetic – clean lines and crisp finish. The slimline design of the aluminium slats is all about that contemporary look that will complement various architectural styles (residential or commercial properties).
3. Minimal maintenance: aluminium is naturally resistant to rust, corrosion, and deterioration caused by external factors, which makes mounting Venetian blinds on outside of window or doors not only possible but also a highly functional solution. Resistance to harmful external factors means our products require minimal maintenance to upkeep structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, even in demanding outdoor environments.
4. Wide range of customisation options: as a material, aluminium offers a wide range of customisation options. Our custom-made facade blinds can fit specific window sizes and shapes. Moreover, aluminium slats can be powder-coated in various colours. Such versatility means our Lex Blinds professionals can adapt external Venetians to meet both – individual style preferences and architectural requirements.

Lightweight but robust material that provides both – modern design options and high functionality. Let alone the fact it's one of the most durable material options considering any outdoor mounted shading system. Our team will help you create a personalised style, then – precise and seamless integration.

FAQ

What determines external Venetian blinds price?

Several factors determine the final price. Still, the main ones are dimensions, materials, design and control mechanism. To objectively assess the price, contact our team, and we will provide you exact or estimated cost according to your needs.

We highly recommend choosing high-quality materials and innovative control mechanisms as it's a long-term investment. Even by opting for a high-quality and functional product, we can help you to save some money. For instance, there's no extra fee for our measuring and fitting appointment and offered warranty will let you avoid unexpected expenses for up to 5 years.

What are the options to automatically operate my outdoor Venetian blind?

As today's innovative outdoor shading systems are compatible with smart home systems, there are more operating options than remote control devices or wall-mounted switches. Apart from those options, you can connect your shading system's control unit to a smartphone app (via Wi-fi or Bluetooth). Another way is voice control – you'll need one of the smart home assistants’ devices (e.g., Amazon, Apple, Google Home, etc.).

Can an external Venetian blind withstand strong winds?

These outdoor-mounted shades are designed to withstand different weather conditions despite the season – from moderate to strong winds from intense sun to rain. Naturally, it all depends on the product quality, chosen installation method, size of the shading system, and specific wind conditions. If you have any doubts, it's wise to consult with our specialists.

Is it possible to install exterior Venetian blinds without specialists?

While it is technically possible, we recommend discussing the process with professional installers or leaving this work for them for several reasons, especially for those without any previous experience in similar tasks. While expertise is essential to ensure high quality, there are more factors to consider. For example:

• You will need specific tools and equipment to install the shading system precisely and ensure insulation. Without appropriate tools, it would be challenging.
• Consider safety measures, as mounting Venetian blinds on outside of window or doors typically mean working at heights (especially with such shading systems). So, not only will you need appropriate tools, but to feel comfortable working on ladders or scaffolding considering safety measures.
• Warranty that may be contingent on professional installation. Specialists ensure that you meet the manufacturer's requirements and maintain the validity of the warranty.

So, while installing the shading system yourself could be an option, it's always wise to critically assess your skills, needed tools and safety measures. Also, the warranty depends on the correct and flawless installation too.
