ᐅ Advantages and Disadvantages: External Venetian Blinds or Roller Shutters?

Hello!
We are considering whether to choose Venetian blinds or roller shutters.
Originally, I preferred roller shutters because they seem to offer better burglary protection. However, an architect advised us against this, saying that roller shutters can also be easily broken into. He believes that with almost the same level of burglary protection, Venetian blinds are much more comfortable and provide greater flexibility.
So far, we have only had roller shutters or interior blinds, so we lack direct comparisons.
Do you also think that roller shutters are not significantly "safer" than Venetian blinds?
Can you think of other pros and cons?

That simply isn’t true...
We paid an additional 400€ (net) in total for aluminum roller shutters on 4 doors and 1 large window compared to plastic ones. You’ve mentioned that to me before...
I can only repeat what my window installer told me. But maybe you already paid more for the plastic roller shutters in the standard package and now you’re really happy about your additional 400€ cost.
So let’s do the math. I pay 25€ (net) per square meter for plastic roller shutters, including material and installation.
Your turn.

We have Z-shaped louvered blinds installed everywhere... besides the fact that the Z-louvers are much sturdier than regular louvers, we would never choose anything else again. Even with full sun exposure from the south and west, the rooms stay comfortably cool, and the children’s rooms as well as the rest of the house are anything but dark...How many summers have you spent in your house? Besides that, you are still right.I know I've written this before... I just didn’t realize you were the "other party" involved.
Unfortunately, I can’t break it down on my end because for every "hole in the wall," I have the total sum for the window including the roller shutter and insect screen per unit.
I think this S onro is pretty cool...

In the end, it’s a relatively simple decision. The budget determines it. If there is enough money:
in living areas, use venetian blinds; in bedrooms on the north or east side, use roller shutters; for south and west-facing rooms, it’s a matter of personal preference.
When it comes to roller shutters, keep in mind that from about 2.50–3.00 meters (8.2–9.8 feet) upward, aluminum is needed instead of plastic, especially with dark colors.
