ᐅ External venetian blinds – which slat type?

Hello everyone!

We are currently finalizing our choice of external blinds. Yesterday, we visited our external blinds specialist again, and now we’re not so sure if the selection (currently proposed by our architect) is the right one.

As of now, Warema products with Z-shaped slats are planned to be installed. However, after looking at the samples again yesterday, we have to say that we don’t really like the appearance. The “simple” edge-rolled slats somehow look more attractive to us.

Our main goal is to have sun protection, and when needed, privacy from outside. Darkening—which according to Warema is the main purpose of the Z-shaped slats—is not our top priority.

What did you choose and why? Does anyone have photos of an interior room with Z-shaped slats or with the edge-rolled slats installed?

So many questions!
We would appreciate any tips!

Best regards,
Wickie

Could you please post a photo of a curtain in a darkened room?

With a venetian blind, you will let in significantly more light than with this sOnro.

Have you installed s_Onro in your home as well?

You cannot use a photo to accurately show how strong the lighting in a room is.
A camera does not perceive brightness the way a human does.
It only registers whether the exposure is correct, overexposed, or underexposed. This does not correspond to the actual lighting conditions at all.

Or have you ever seen a sunny winter photo where the snow actually blinded you? The same principle applies. The camera compensates for that.
