Hello!
I have a question for those homeowners who chose Z-louvers for their external blinds: How is the privacy situation, since these can only be set to a maximum of 90 degrees?
I’m concerned that even if I want to let in the maximum amount of sunlight, for example in the bathroom during the day, the privacy won’t be very effective due to that 90-degree limit. With C-louvers, you can adjust them up to 180 degrees, allowing a tilted position that prevents people from seeing in from below or the side while still allowing light to enter.
What has your experience been with this?
Best regards,

Thanks for the tip regarding S_Onro. However, I want more "variability" when it comes to an unobstructed view outside. Visually, I actually find them quite appealing. But I will stick with venetian blinds.
Basically: For aesthetic reasons, I would like to have the same solution everywhere (for example, if using Z-shaped slats, then on both the ground floor and the upper floor).
On the ground floor: I don’t see a problem with Z-shaped slats (regarding the 90-degree issue), since we have a fairly large overhang and window height anyway. So, there is basically no need to set the slats, for example, at 135 degrees (either fully open or at 45 degrees, which would provide privacy).
On the upper floor: I find it inconvenient if, for example, I’m walking around naked in the bathroom during the day (which sometimes happens with good music playing)—if the slats are set at 45 degrees here, anyone walking below can see inside.
Point two: The main reason we would consider Z-shaped slats is because of the wind issue (we don’t really mind more darkness). Are there, for example, C-shaped slats that are optimized for wind resistance?
Kind of tricky.
