By choosing our external shading solutions, you’re not just upgrading your home - you're making a smart choice for your wallet, environment and reducing overheating from excess solar gain. Our products are engineered with the latest technology to minimise solar gain and create comfortable living space without compromising on style.
External Venetian Blinds
Internorm and Drutex external Venetian blinds offer a stylish and functional solution for your home. Crafted with corrosion-resistant aluminium slats available in various widths and shapes, these blinds exude both elegance and durability. The durable powder-coated finish ensures long-term weather resistance and a sleek aesthetic. And with adjustable angles, you can precisely control the amount of sunlight entering your home, while also maintaining your desired level of privacy.
Benefits
- Smart Controlled Blinds reduce summer temperatures: Smart blinds can lower room temperatures by up to 10°C compared to unshaded rooms, especially on south-facing elevations. This helps prevent overheating during the summer months.
- Smart Home Integration: Our blind systems seamlessly integrate with Smart Home systems, allowing you to control solar radiation and light transmission. This contributes to passive cooling in summer and solar heating in winter.
- Energy Savings: Smart blinds can reduce cooling energy by up to 50%. Remember, cooling a room by 1°C with air conditioning uses three times more energy than increasing heating by 1°C. Overall, you can expect up to 30% less energy consumption with smart blinds.
- Reduced Electricity Costs: By effectively directing daylight into your home, smart blinds can reduce electricity costs by up to 80% by minimising the need for artificial lighting.
- Environmental Sustainability: Each blind unit can save approximately 8.5 tonnes of CO2 over its lifetime. This is a significant contribution to reducing your carbon footprint, especially when you consider that the manufacturing, use, and disposal of a blind only generates about 150 kg of CO2.
External Roller Shutters
Elevate your home's comfort and security with Internorm or Drutex aluminium roller shutters. These stylish shutters feature insulated profiles filled with polyurethane foam, creating a barrier against heat loss and solar gain. In fact, under test conditions, they can reduce cooling costs by up to 25% in sunny climates, keeping your home comfortably cool.
Available in a wide range of RAL finishes, they seamlessly blend with your home's aesthetic. But their beauty goes beyond the surface. Reinforced end caps provide extra security, while full blackout capability ensures complete privacy.
These shutters integrate seamlessly with smart home systems like Somfy and Loxone. Imagine controlling your shutters remotely, automating them for optimal comfort, or even scheduling them to open and close based on the weather.
Internorm Integrated Blinds
Internorm's unique integrated sun protection and privacy screens offer a seamless blend of style and functionality. Choose from Venetian, Roman, or Duette® blinds, all nestled between accessible panes of glass. These blinds can be operated with manual ball-chain drive, electric, or solar-powered I-tec Shading, depending on your preference.
The innovative design goes beyond aesthetics, delivering exceptional performance. By integrating the blinds into the window itself, they are protected from dust, dirt, and everyday wear and tear. This results in low-maintenance operation and four times more protection than traditional blinds, all packaged in a sleek and elegant design.
Benefits
- Sun and Privacy Control: Effortlessly adjust the blinds to control the amount of natural light entering your home, while also maintaining your desired level of privacy.
- Enhanced Thermal Insulation: Enjoy a cosy home in winter and a cool retreat in summer. The integrated blinds provide an extra layer of insulation, increasing energy efficiency and reducing your heating and cooling costs.
- Reduced Noise Levels: Experience a quieter indoor environment, even if you live in a urban area. The integrated blinds help to absorb and reduce outside noise, creating a peaceful sanctuary within your home.
- Energy-Smart Innovation with I-Tec Shading: Internorm's I-Tec Shading system sets a new standard for energy efficiency. This forward-thinking technology operates completely self-sufficiently - no cords, no batteries, no hassle. Powered by smart design, it harnesses energy to function effortlessly, making your home greener without sacrificing convenience. Plus, it comes with a suite of useful features that simplify your daily life.
- Maintenance Made Simple: Unlike other integrated blind systems, Internorm's design prioritises accessibility. Need to clean or service the blinds? No problem! While they remain protected between the panes, they are easily reachable for maintenance when necessary. It's the best of both worlds - durability and practicality.
