Hello,

we plan to start building the house at the end of October / beginning of November.

We are getting some Roto R8 roof windows, which according to the Roto homepage have the following specifications "triple safety and thermal insulation glazing with anti-condensation coating and sound insulation (SSK 3)".

If we choose roller shutters, I would like to have them installed right away so that the electrical connection can be properly done with a switch. Alternatively, I would opt for a blackout blind plus an external sun screen.

Do you have any experience with the noise level a roller shutter on a roof window produces, or are the plastic slats even louder than when the rain hits the glass directly?

Thank you

We had removed the sunscreen in the old apartment and installed shutters. It was definitely quieter afterwards.

I have already lived with Velux windows without and with roller shutters and have very fond memories of the roller shutters. Also regarding heat protection in summer, absolutely the best thing you can do in my opinion. (Downside as always: It is dark)

Because of the brightness in summer, the screens were actually my favorite, but your answers clearly lean towards roller shutters. In online shops, they cost from 500 euros from Roto; with installation and procurement through the roofer, the fun will definitely cost over 2,000. I will ask around.

If that was part of the question: We were satisfied with the roller shutters, the sun protection is significantly better.

And the roller shutters are really easy to install. The most complicated part of the matter is getting the electrical connection neatly inside.
