Hello everyone,

we have received a quote for windows and external venetian blinds.
I find the offer for the windows quite reasonable. However, the price for the external blinds made me hesitate a bit.
We are planning 5 external venetian blinds.
The description in the quote is:

PVC add-on element, thermally insulated
Elite with venetian blind fabric
Operation: crank handle
Dimensions:

1. 2510 x 2620 mm (99 x 103 inches) -> 1889 euros
2. 4620 x 2620 mm (182 x 103 inches) -> 4282 euros
3. 4620 x 2620 mm (182 x 103 inches) -> 4282 euros
4. 3010 x 2600 mm (118 x 102 inches) -> 2113 euros
5. 2510 x 2620 mm (99 x 103 inches) -> 1898 euros

All prices are excluding VAT.
It seems to me quite, quite, quite high — or am I just mistaken?

Regards,
Volker

I'm not saying I want an online price. It's just that the one from the specialist dealer is sometimes 500% more expensive.

For comparison, our external blinds measure 1.20 by 1.30 meters (4 by 4.3 feet) and cost 650 each net.

What do you pay for these huge windows? They must be expensive too.

Is this an office building given the dimensions, or a residential house?

It is a residential house with a gallery. The windows are divided, with a sliding door at the bottom and fixed glass at the top. The sliding sections cost 2700 each net, and the fixed windows at the top cost 2600 each net.

Yes, in proportion it seems like the tail wagging the dog, or it inevitably reminds one of Asterix’s crazy Roman.

There’s an old driver’s saying that if you brake a lot, you’re probably in too high a gear – and the same applies to windows: if you "need" external venetian blinds, they are probably oversized ;-)

The additional cost for the venetian blind on the 4m (13 feet) lift-and-slide element is 600 euros. It was previously planned as an electric aluminum roller shutter, now changed to a double Z venetian blind with chain guide.

It seems the architect has caused you some trouble, and now you have to deal with the consequences 😀. If necessary, you can order it online..

Wow, $17,000 for a few venetian blinds.
I'm definitely impressed.
