Hello everyone,
So far, I have been able to learn a lot from the knowledge already shared here, but I haven’t found anything about textile screens yet.
I am currently considering which option for exterior shading would be the most practical and affordable.
To combine the advantages of venetian blinds and roller shutters, I originally planned to use venetian blinds on the ground floor and roller shutters on the upper floor.
However, I recently noticed textile screens on two newer houses in my area (about 2–3 years old, very modern architect-designed homes). I really like their appearance, and they sound very interesting based on the manufacturers’ websites. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any user experiences. Does anyone here have knowledge about them and can share information about their durability and weather resistance (storms, do they need maintenance after rain, is it necessary to wait until the fabric is dry before retracting the screen)? So far, I haven’t found any disadvantages, but why are they used so rarely? Do they also provide protection against break-ins?
I hope this is the right place to ask, and that someone may be able to help me.
Sunny regards

We apparently have foam-filled aluminum... the largest panel is 3 m x 2.25 m (10 ft x 7 ft 5 in) – or alternatively two side by side at 2 m x 2.25 m (6 ft 7 in x 7 ft 5 in). Does that count as large?For foam-filled aluminum shutters, that’s generally not considered large, at least that’s what I learned from the window manufacturer. Our neighbors, who started building earlier, have PVC shutters. Their windows about 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) wide have three-part roller shutter panels.
