Façade-mounted external venetian blinds
Façade-mounted external venetian blinds are designed as a visible part of the building envelope. They are suitable for large glazed areas and façades with clearly defined architectural lines.
Appearance & system design
Solar shading becomes an intentional façade feature.
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 shutter curtain can be distinguished from one another at first glance.
Assessment
Solar shading as an integral part of the façade.
In façade systems, proportions, fixings, guides and the façade grid are just as important as the shading function itself.
PLANIGRAPH coordinates external venetian blinds with window alignment, façade materials, supporting structures and controls – from detached houses to project-specific solutions.

Planning considerations
Function and the façade grid must work together.
01
Grid
Coordinate widths and divisions with window and façade alignment.
02
Fixings
Establish the structural requirements for the mounting surface and brackets.
03
Wind
Take account of unit size, guides and exposure at the installation site.
04
Control
Define zones, sensors and control logic to suit the building’s use.
PLANIGRAPH planning
Façade-mounted external venetian blinds benefit from early planning.
The earlier the architect, façade contractor, window installer and solar shading specialist work together, the more neatly boxes, guides and connections can be integrated.
Define interfaces between trades
Define access routes for inspection and maintenance
