A basic external venetian blind can be integrated into virtually any facade. It is suitable for use with both new buildings and renovations. Thanks to the selection of different colours and slat geometries, you'll enjoy full creative freedom for your design. The basic external venetian blind is available with either cable or rail guidance.

What sets the top-mounted external venetian blind apart is its attractiveness and flexibility – all that is required to attach the blind to the window is a simple clip system. Together with the window, the blind can be installed in any structural opening. Compact dimensions allow it to be used even for small and medium wall openings.

Are you renovating and looking for an ideal external sun shading system solution? Then you need a WAREMA front-mounted external venetian blind.

The different types of cover panels (visible or hidden) protect external venetian blinds from wind and weather when raised.

  • Hidden cover panel: This installation version merges seamlessly with the façade thanks to its clean design. The slats provide contrasting visual accents—tailored to your architectural style.
  • Visible cover panel: When using visible cover panels, they are mounted on the façade and create design accents with visible powder-coated aluminium parts.

A selection of our standard and custom shapes is shown below. Other shapes available on request. All cover panels optionally with integrated lintel insulation. Various finishes available: satin gloss, matte, fine texture or high weather resistance.

Cover panel consoles enable simple and efficient installation while delivering high stability.

With the colour variety at WAREMA, you can individually adjust your external venetian blinds to suit your facade. You have the option of individually combining slat colours and guide rail colours. The slat colours are divided into two different categories:

  • Selection colours: available for external venetian blinds and roller shutters (to match), and also for all geometries and profiles in the collection
  • Choice colours: available for external venetian blinds and roller shutters individually and only for selected geometries and profiles

Note: Please note that colours differ from one monitor to another. The colours shown here on the screen may therefore vary from the original colour!

From the classic collapsible crank to smart app control: Modern external venetian blinds offer the ideal operating solution for every building project. Architects and property developers benefit from flexible drive variants that can be seamlessly integrated into the building and significantly increase the comfort and efficiency of the sun shading solution. A combination of design freedom and a high level of operating comfort brings real added value to every project.

WAREMA offers motorised drives with a range of standard motors as well as special motors for specific applications. The right motor can be used to meet the requirements of each individual construction project. Detailed technical information on the available motor types can be found in the technical document for external venetian blinds.

When sun shading systems are installed on non-residential buildings, DIN EN 15232 recommends the use of an automated control system. Therefore, the sun shading systems installed in these building types should not be manually operated by a crank. The minimum DIN EN 15232 requirement for sun shading systems to achieve an efficiency class rating of A or B is a slat tracking system that follows the position of the sun. For new buildings and refurbished public buildings, energy class B is recommended as a minimum requirement.

Individual adjustment to meet your requirements: the slowturn optional extra for external venetian blinds from WAREMA allows the slats to be positioned precisely because the tilting time is three times slower. As the name suggests, slowturn means a reduced slat tilting speed. The tilting time is three times longer than that of other external venetian blinds. This makes it possible to position the slats extremely precisely.

Together with the use of an overall sun shading control system, slowturn helps to increase the energy efficiency of buildings over the long term.

Slowturn can be used for the following slat geometries: beaded slats, flat slats and dim-out slats.

Note: Example illustration. The real times are different to the set times.

The reference book offers informative insights based on reference projects into how sun shading systems can make a major difference to the functionality, design and efficiency of buildings.

With the new extension of the Freiburg District Court, the state of Baden-Württemberg has created modern spatial structures and a future-oriented working environment – as part of a sophisticated densification and a sensitive integration into the historic setting.

The implemented sun shading concept also plays a key role. WAREMA’s venetian blind systems are seamlessly integrated into the architectural design, combining functionality, safety and aesthetics.

Individual sun shading systems create a wonderful ambience inside and out. Whether the need to block out daylight or to let it in - every room has different sun shading requirements. The awning must also harmonise with the building in every respect.

Seeing the potential of an old building is one of the special skills an architect possess. In a residential building from 1976 in need of renovation , an architect couple recognised the house of their dreams – and snapped it up immediately.

The vision: to open up the cramped and fragmented 1970s floor plan to create spacious, open-plan living areas with plenty of daylight.

With its striking meandering shape, the HumboldtHafenEins in Berlin is an immediate eye-catcher. And that's a good thing, since the city's new landmark is a role model for sustainabile building.

Originally planned as an office building in the TRIOTOP business and country park in Cologne, the striking "Snake" complex was redesigned as a temporary school building. WAREMA E80A2S external venetian blinds with beaded slats were used for the external sun shading system.

Located in heart of Dresden, the Neumarkt is a fascinating combination of tradition and modernity. The sun shading systems faced unique challenges in helping to preserve this balance. For each window a solution with optimum configuration to the users' needs was found by installing different models of window awnings and external venetian blinds.

With its striking meandering shape, the HumboldtHafenEins in Berlin is an immediate eye-catcher. And that's a good thing, since the city's new landmark is a role model for sustainabile building.

Berlin has gained another architectural highlight with the 50Hertz Netzquartier in Europacity. At a height of around 55 metres, the construction features seven L-shaped bases and six tower floors as well as an underground level.

The Hard Turm Park building complex was built on a former industrial estate in the popular district Zurich West and is now both a residential and business quarter.

The revitalisation of the former BRK headquarters has created a modern office and residential building in Munich's Lehel district. The building complex, arranged in a square block, was made fit for modern mixed use by the elaborate refurbishment with new development cores and high-grade entrance lobbies.

The first thing passers-by will notice about the building, completed in 2018, is the cladding made of larch wood rods. It conveys sustainability thanks to its positive CO2 footprint and connection to nature. It also allows the building to blend in harmoniously with its surroundings.

Built on the site of the former Metso machine plant in Düsseldorf’s Lierenfeld district, the Factory Campus is a modern office locale that particularly appeals to young, dynamic companies with its flexible rooms and premises – a modern coworking space spanning 34,000 square metres. One key target for architect was to use a fully automated sun shading system.
