I would like to hear your experiences regarding electric exterior blinds. (See attachment)


In our new building, we have planned electric aluminum roller shutters. Yesterday, we visited friends who have electric exterior blinds instead of roller shutters.

From a burglary protection perspective, I don’t see roller shutters as effective anyway. If a burglar wants to get into the house, they will do so despite roller shutters. Other precautions have to be taken for that.

Against this background, we were very impressed by the blinds. First of all, they gave the house a completely different, more attractive atmosphere. Furthermore, blinds are also more flexible. You can raise them completely, lower them completely, or regulate the light entry depending on the sunlight.

Now we are considering asking our developer (with whom we are building turnkey including electric roller shutters) to give us an offer on what it would mean to replace the roller shutters with exterior blinds. What experiences are there here? Since we do not want to cause any additional costs, price is also important to us. Are blinds more expensive than roller shutters? We look forward to any tips!

Hello,
at first we had planned roller shutters everywhere, but then decided on the south side for external blinds (Raffstores). On our south side there are the living/dining area, children's room, and study (upper floor). With external blinds you will never get the rooms completely dark.
The external blinds cost us slightly more (but there are only 4 pieces). You just have to decide in time, because the bricklayer needs to know whether to install roller shutter boxes or Raffstore boxes (costs are the same).
If the windows are not too large, you could also use plastic roller shutters to save money?
