Installation

External Horiso Specialty Venetian Blinds are perfect for large facades, as they can fit widths up to 6 meters and drops of 9 meters, covering up to 42m². These blinds are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds, snow, and ice. In the event of strong winds, a wind sensor automatically tilts the slats to 90º and retracts the blinds for protection. Crafted from high-quality materials with superior coating, these blinds offer durability and stability, enhanced by double omega punching. This installation is a cost-effective retrofit that promotes architectural creativity, spacious outdoor areas, and privacy while providing sun and weather protection. 

 

Key features
- Energy-efficient insulating properties
- Reduced temperature transfer
- Wind sensor for weather protection
- Various slat colors and finishes
- Optional perforated slats for outside views when closed.
