External venetian blinds

Façade venetian blinds with aluminium slats (type C or Z) let you smoothly adjust light and privacy — from full daylight to almost complete blackout. Excellent sun protection and a modern architectural accent on the façade.

Smooth control of light and privacy

Unlike a roller shutter, the façade blind has tiltable slats — by adjusting their angle you precisely control light and visibility. From full daylight through diffused light to almost complete blackout (up to 98%). C-type (80 mm) and Z-type (90 mm) slats available.

  • Adjustable slat angle — from daylight to 98% blackout
  • C-type (80 mm) or Z-type (90 mm) slats
  • Slim (lower box) and Duo (different top/bottom angles) variants

Available are the Slim variant (smaller stack, lower box), the Duo variant (different tilt angles for the upper and lower slat sections) and the self-supporting SmartBOX with Styrodur insulation and a hidden box. Slats in C-type (80 mm) and Z-type (90 mm).

Yes. Façade blinds run on an electric drive via remote or wall switch, plus smart-home integration through TaHoma® Somfy — full app control, sun scenarios and schedules.
