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.

I don’t think the color is irrelevant; the question is how strong the two effects – warmer air and thermal radiation – are for the specific construction project, and that is difficult to estimate.
