Dear forum,
For our new build, large floor-to-ceiling window fronts are planned on both gable ends, which should also fit the roof slope in the attic.
The first offers for the external blinds on the sloped gable windows, however, exceed the budget significantly.
Does anyone have experience with this or know of alternative solutions?

I just came across this thread. We are currently in the exact same situation, not really sure how to properly shade our large slanted window area under the gable.
The discussion is a bit older. How did you end up solving it?
I would be very interested to know!

Hendrik198027 Feb 2023 12:12We divided the windows and decided to shade only the crucial sections of the sloped gables. The upper triangles will remain open on both the east and west sides. See the sketch (red areas will remain open, green areas shaded). We assume that the roof overhang will also provide some protection against direct sunlight.

Lhausen1327 Feb 2023 13:42Okay, I think this is a practical solution. How large is your roof overhang? Ours is (only) 80cm (31.5 inches).
