ᐅ Shading options? Roller shutters, sun sails, venetian blinds, awnings

Would you have some tips on shading? We want to keep the heat outside but still allow the light in.

The simplest solution would be roller shutters everywhere plus a sunshade sail for the south-facing terrace (we don’t like the look of an awning), which would also shade the south-facing living room windows overlooking the garden.

Alternatives would be:

(1) No shading at all or only interior curtains/blinds/pleated blinds
This could work for the north-facing street-side windows (kitchen, study, guest toilet) as well as the west-facing windows of the upstairs bathroom
would save costs

(2) Venetian blinds
We don’t like the way they look from the inside

(3) Vertical blinds, drop-arm awnings, or markisolette blinds
Possibly with semi-transparent fabrics

Would option (3) be combinable with roller shutters, or is it not possible to have both at the same time?
At least one combined solution was found at Gunkel-Rollladen:

But that seems to be a rather uncommon special solution.
For burglary protection, roller shutters are not necessarily required; burglar-resistant window frames are more important, especially since break-ins often happen during the day.
Other ideas:
1) The master bedroom should be completely dark, so roller shutters are definitely needed here.
2) For the children’s rooms above the living room with floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows, a solution will have to be found.
3) Lowering all roller shutters during the day for heat protection won’t work; it would make the house too dark for us.

The shading must be installed on the outside; otherwise, the heat will remain inside the house. Interior blinds, etc., are ineffective for protecting against summer heat.

Yes, I am aware of that, which is why something like this would not be an option on the south side, but rather more suitable on the north side.

So the best solution is venetian blinds, but you don’t like those...

Otherwise, roller shutters are also great for keeping heat and “too much” light outside... just lower them to 50-60% and it already improves... plus, complete blackout is also possible.

Interior solutions are inexpensive but don’t block the heat...

Roller shutters half lowered prevent seeing outside at eye level and make you feel excluded from the nice sunny weather. It’s better to choose something semi-transparent, not as solid as a roller shutter, such as a vertical awning, drop-arm awning, or a markisolette, and have it fully lowered. Another question: Is it possible to combine vertical awnings, drop-arm awnings, or markisolettes with roller shutters or not?

So the decision is basically already made... from what it sounds like... whether it can be combined in the end only your window manufacturer can tell you... some can accommodate special requests, others cannot...
