Roller Shutters or Venetian Blinds?
When choosing external shading, a common question arises: Should you opt for roller shutters or Venetian blinds? Both types of shading are suitable for all types of buildings, whether new constructions or existing structures. They can be installed in either a recessed or surface-mounted version, providing flexibility in installation and ensuring compatibility with various architectural solutions and building requirements.
Roller Shutters – Excellent Room Darkening and Security
Roller shutters are designed for those seeking complete privacy and effective room darkening. Thanks to their robust shutter aluminium slats, they provide a high level of security, making it more difficult for intruders to gain access and contributing to overall property protection.
When fully lowered, they effectively darken the room, making them ideal for bedrooms and spaces where you want to create total darkness. Additionally, roller shutters are an excellent choice for energy efficiency – they help reduce heat loss in winter and prevent overheating of interiors in summer.
Venetian Blinds – Light Regulation
Venetian blinds are a modern external shading solution that allows precise adjustment of light and privacy. By tilting the slats, you can completely control how much light enters the room while still maintaining a view of the surroundings.
Venetian blinds effectively darken a space while offering flexible shading. Certain slats, such as the Delux S-90, provide a high level of dimming. However, for complete darkness, roller shutters remain the better choice. Additionally, Venetian blinds are highly popular among architects due to their modern aesthetic and wide range of color options.
Privacy
Roller shutters provide complete privacy when fully lowered, whereas Venetian blinds offer more flexibility by allowing you to adjust the slats to balance privacy and light control.
Room Darkening
Roller shutters provide excellent room darkening, whereas Venetian blinds allow adjustable shading, with certain slats (such as Delux S-90) offering the highest level of dimming among all Venetian blind slats.
Light Regulation
Roller shutters offer limited positioning options – fully closed, partially open, or fully open – whereas Venetian blinds allow precise light regulation by adjusting the slat angle.
Color Options
Both shading types come in a wide range of colors to match various aesthetic preferences.
Aesthetic Appeal
Roller shutters have a classic and simple appearance, which can be customized with different shutter curtains to suit various styles and needs. On the other hand, Venetian blinds, with their modern design, have become a popular choice among architects, seamlessly integrating into contemporary buildings.
Automation
Both roller shutters and Venetian blinds can be fully automated, with options for control via sensors, remote controls, or smart home systems.
Insect Screens
Both shading systems allow the integration of insect screens for protection against insects.
Security
Roller shutters have a sturdy shutter curtain and security springs that prevent forced lifting, offering additional home protection. Some Venetian blind models, such as the BLINT model, include an anti-burglary function that serves as an additional barrier on the window, enhancing security.
What to choose?
Both types of blinds, roller blinds and venetian blinds, are suitable for all types of constructions, providing privacy, controlling light and contributing to the security of the building.
Roller blinds are known for their high level of privacy and excellent room darkening. On the other hand, venetian blinds allow you to adjust the level of privacy by adjusting the angle of the slats and offer precise control over light.
