Hello,
Yesterday we had the selection appointment for our KfW 70 house. Dark gray aluminum roller shutters would suit the dark gray windows and are also good for dirt resistance. However, our window installer said they would get too hot. Our large windows face west. I don’t understand this argument since we have triple glazing. What are your experiences? Venetian blinds with a wind sensor are not an option for us.
Thanks for your answers.

Well, the roller shutters have nothing to do with the triple glazing... I wonder why you mention that...
What does your window installer say would happen if they get too hot?
White ones are also dirt-resistant... they are all coated anyway...I’m not an expert. The aluminum roller shutters expand when heated, and I assumed that if they get that hot, they wouldn’t be effective for shading either.

Hello, regarding resistance to dirt, I can only say: pollen is more visible on dark gray roller shutters than on silver ones (we therefore chose silver roller shutters and also blinds because we have very large window areas to shade). Thank you for the practical tip. That is very helpful for me.

The aluminum roller shutters then expand, and I assumed that when these things get that hot, they don’t help with shadingWe have now been living in the house for 2 months... the sun shone for about 6 weeks of that time. On the weekends (during the day), it already got quite warm through the southern windows, so we used the blinds. Of course, they do work as shading.

Hello Endlich,
to my knowledge, this is an issue due to expansion.
Did he say whether it works or not?
Best regards
K.BrodbeckThank you, yes, expansion would also be a major problem. I now understand the context.

Funny, the window manufacturer and the structural engineer from the Association of Private Homeowners told us that aluminum roller shutters are more scratch-resistant and do not develop wear grooves over time.
Thanks for the reply Everyone sells whatever is currently available or needs to be moved.
Best regards
Yes, I understand that the roller shutters expand, but what are the consequences of that? That's what I asked...
If the roller shutters were to get stuck because of that, then they couldn't be sold, as that would be considered a defect... but since they are being installed, it seems to work fine... so what exactly is the problem? They just expand, and that’s it...
