Blinds as the Perfect Partner for Climate Control
As temperatures rise and energy costs soar, homeowners are increasingly seeking innovative solutions to maintain comfortable living spaces while minimising their environmental footprint. At FAKRO GB, we believe that the key to achieving optimal climate control lies in the strategic integration of internal and external blinds, as well as energy-efficient window glazing. Blinds however not only enhance energy efficiency but also elevate the aesthetics and functionality of any living or working environment.
For climate control, many individuals turn to internal blackout blinds as a first line of defence against excessive heat gain and glare. While internal blinds certainly offer some benefits, they often fall short when it comes to effectively managing the indoor climate as the heat has already entered when they reach them. This is where external blinds step in to up the game.
External Awning Blinds
By strategically positioning these blinds on the exterior of buildings, they effectively intercept solar radiation before it penetrates through windows, thereby minimising overheating. Unlike internal blinds, external awning blinds create a barrier between the sun's rays and the glass surface, significantly reducing solar heat gain by up to 80%. This translates to lower indoor temperatures and decreased reliance on air conditioning systems, ultimately leading to substantial energy savings and reduced carbon emissions.
At FAKRO GB, our range of external awning blinds are crafted with precision engineering and premium materials to ensure durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. With 3 colour choices available to match your roof tiles discreetly and the choice of manual, electric or solar-powered operation - these could be the blind for you!
External Roller Shutters
In addition to external awning blinds, at FAKRO GB we also offer external roller shutters. Made to provide complete darkness, enhanced insulation and security. External roller shutters form a physical barrier against external elements, including harsh sunlight, heat, noise, and inclement weather, these shutters effectively prevent outdoor temperatures from influencing indoor temperatures and create a comfortable living environment.
One of the key advantages of external roller shutters lies in their ability to promote natural ventilation while maintaining privacy and security. Being able to still open the windows with the roller shutters down means homeowners can strike the perfect balance between airflow and harsh sunlight, allowing fresh air to circulate freely while minimising heat transfer and glare. This natural ventilation mechanism not only reduces the reliance on air conditioning systems but also enhances indoor air quality and comfort, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.
At FAKRO GB, we recognise the transformative potential of external blinds in revolutionising climate control and redefining the way we interact with our built environment. Through continuous innovation and uncompromising quality, we strive to empower homeowners with cutting-edge solutions that enhance comfort, efficiency, and well-being. By harnessing the power of external awning blinds and roller shutters, we pave the way towards a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.
