If you prefer to have your home precisely climate-controlled, external blinds can't do that; air-conditioning is probably the best solution for you. However, if you prefer a sustainable, long-term solution to keep your home cool and comfortable without harming the planet, then external blinds offer an excellent alternative.
Not requiring huge amounts of energy to run or using planet-harming refrigerants, external blinds are unobtrusive and easy to maintain. You can even connect them to a home automation system, and control remotely from your phone, or set them to raise or lower at certain times of day to maximise their cooling effect.
In conclusion, studies and anecdotal evidence demonstrates that external blinds are a very effective solution for keeping your home cool and comfortable. We work with Renson, a leading European supplier of high-quality external blinds ideal for luxury properties. Browse our range or contact us today to find out more.
