External venetian blinds make it more difficult for burglars to break-in, as they act as an additional barrier in front of the window. They also prevent people from peeking into your home from outside. The SegSigna early warning system from WAREMA acts as extra protection and can also be retrofitted at any time.
External venetian blinds can also help regulate the indoor climate, improve the level of comfort in your own home and reduce energy costs. By reducing the amount of sunrays and heat that enter the room, external venetian blinds are capable of reducing room temperatures, making the indoor climate more comfortable. In addition, you also can even adjust air circulation in a room when the window is opened by opening and closing the slats.
These external venetian blinds can also be used on windy days, which has a positive effect on energy balance. Find more information on our particularly wind-stable external venetian blinds here.
Venetian blinds were developed in Italy, and their Italian name "gelosia" means "jealousy". Originally, this term described window grilles that allowed a view out, but prevented a view in. In Venetian palaces or harems, for example, it was custom to install an appropriate privacy screen to avert the gaze of prying eyes.
Over time, the term "venetian blinds" came to be used for other types of window and door dressings consisting of horizontal or vertical slats. Nowadays, the term "venetian blinds" commonly refers to internal and external sun shading systems with movable slats – such as the WAREMA external venetian blinds.
This is because the slats direct the radiation into the interior during the day, meaning that the heat of the sun enters your home. In the evening, when the external sun shading is closed, this increases the insulation performance of the windows so that heat does not escape and the maximum amount of natural heat is stored. The result: an effective reduction in energy used for heating and of course in the related costs.
Our reporter Toni has set out to answer this question. To do so, he met with our colleague Stefan from Development to find out more about the top quality of our external venetian blinds. Toni gained an intriguing insight into which conditions our products have to withstand and whether the external venetian blinds still work in sub-zero temperatures.
With the help of automatic slat tracking, which analyses the current light conditions and ensures the optimum slat position, the natural light is fully utilised during the day, even when there are only few sunny hours. With an additional dose of sunlight, the body can release the mood-lifting happiness hormone serotonin, even in the cold months. This also saves electricity for artificial light. With high-grade external venetian blinds, the energy consumption for artificial lighting can be reduced by 30 to 50 percent.
