Top-mounted external venetian blinds
Top-mounted external venetian blinds are combined with the window and installed together in the building opening. This makes them particularly suitable for new builds and window replacement projects.
Appearance & system design
Slat performance, the headbox and the window are planned together.
The visible assembly is a key factor in choosing the product. The box, guides, shutter curtain and colour are therefore coordinated not only technically, but also aesthetically.
Visual principle
The construction type and slat curtain can be distinguished at a glance.
Assessment
Plan the window and external venetian blind as an integrated unit.
The solar shading system sits on top of the window. This means that the headbox, insulation, clear opening height and maintenance access arrangements influence window planning from the outset.
PLANIGRAPH coordinates the solar shading, window dimensions and installation sequence to ensure the system is properly integrated into the wall and façade.

Planning considerations
The interface with the window is crucial.
01
Window dimensions
Calculate the overall unit height and headbox dimensions together at an early stage.
02
Insulation
Integrate the headbox connection into the energy-efficiency design.
03
Maintenance access
Ensure lasting access to the mechanism for maintenance.
04
Control
Finalise electrical and sensor planning before installation.
PLANIGRAPH planning
Top-mounted external venetian blinds are not a later add-on.
They work best when the windows, building structure and solar shading are planned together before ordering.
