Stay Cool All Year Round with Stylish and Weather-Resistant External Blinds

External blinds offer the ultimate protection from the sun, ensuring you can comfortably enjoy your space all year round. Unlike internal blinds, external blinds prevent heat from even reaching the glass, stopping it in its tracks before it can enter your home.

With numerous transparency options to choose from, you control how much natural light comes into your home via your external window blinds. We have several fabrics that keep the heat out while still allowing you to fully see out of the window, so you can enjoy the beauty of your outdoor space while staying cool indoors.

Keeping your home cool with outdoor blinds eliminates the need for air conditioning or other cooling devices, which also makes them an incredibly energy-efficient investment. You’ll be able to cut down massively on your energy bill by installing external sun blinds in your home, and, with solar-powered options available, you’ll even be doing your bit for sustainability as well.

And it’s not just the sun you’ll be shielded from when you invest in outdoor blinds from Open Space Concepts. Thanks to automatic adjustments and wind sensors, your external blinds will remain sturdy and taut even when faced with strong winds, offering superior protection from all of the elements.

Another fantastic advantage of external vertical blinds is that they can also double up as privacy screens, allowing you to block out the outside world at the touch of a button – especially useful for those with nosy neighbours!

Read on to discover more about our incredible range of modern external window blinds, designed to offer superior sun, wind, and rain protection all year round.

Remote Controlled for Ease of Use

Throw out your portable fan and trade it in for an intelligent and energy-efficient remote control.

No matter which style you choose, your external blinds will be remote-controlled for your ultimate convenience. With just the push of a button, you control the amount of sunlight that comes into your room, adjusting the electric blinds to let in as much or as little as you like from anywhere in your home.

This excellent level of solar control ensures that your home will remain at a comfortable temperature even in the middle of a summer heatwave, without any of the fuss that comes with constantly having to manually adjust your internal blinds when the sun is out.

You can even control your blinds from your mobile phone using IO home control, making it easier than ever to enjoy comfortable living all year round without lifting a finger.

Discover A Wide Range of Aesthetically-Pleasing Exterior Blind Styles

We know the importance of making sure your electrical blinds match the rest of your building facade, which is why they’re available in a wide range of fabrics, RAL colours, and transparencies.

Each fabric type is completely weather-resistant and maintenance-free, offering complete protection from direct sunlight and other elements while still looking stylish.

The sleek and modern design of our exterior blinds ensures that the cassette headbox is not visible on the outside of your house or building. All the elements are incorporated into the cavity wall above the window frame, creating a seamless appearance that hides any screws. With our solar-powered blind options, each solar panel is discretely integrated into the cassette headbox for a streamlined and modern finish.

If you’re not sure which of our many exterior blind styles would be right for you, why not come on down to our outdoor living showroom in Stoke-on-Trent? We’ll be more than happy to show you around and help you find the perfect outdoor blinds that match the external aesthetic of your home.

Our Eco-Friendly Solar Wireless External Blinds

Our durable and stylish solar-powered outdoor blinds can be seamlessly integrated with your existing building facade or used in new construction projects to create a sleek and modern appearance.

These blinds are 100% solar-powered, which means not only are they eco-friendly, but they also don’t require any installation of cables. This makes them quick and easy to install, with no power sockets needed.

Our brilliant solar-powered blinds offer an excellent level of external shading and wind resistance, and can even function as insect screens when fully lowered.

Solar Wireless Blinds: Key Features

  • Powerful 4 Ah battery with a large storage capacity
  • For large windows up to 15m²
  • Compact 90 mm cassette for a seamless appearance
  • 4 design finish options
  • Fast installation
  • Remote controlled from your mobile phone

The Benefits of Our Solar Wireless Blinds

Our solar-powered outdoor blinds are a sustainable and aesthetic way to keep the extreme heat from the sun out of your home.

There are several reasons why our Solar Wireless External Blinds are superior to your standard outdoor blinds:

100% Green

Our solar external blinds are powered exclusively by solar energy, making them 100% green. By opting for this style of exterior blind, you’ll not only benefit from year-round protection from the sun and other elements, but you’ll also be doing your bit to promote sustainable living.

Fast Installation

Because our solar blinds are only powered by solar energy, they are completely wireless. This means we don’t have to lay cables and the external blinds can be fitted on windows with no power sockets nearby.

The installation takes place completely on the outside of your home and requires no cutting or breaking work, making it the fastest way of creating perfect external shading for your windows. Plus you don’t even have to be at home for us to fit this type of outdoor blind!

Powerful Performance All Year Round

The solar panels on our Solar Wireless Blinds charge the ultra-powerful 4 Ah battery, which powers the blinds’ motor.

This extra-large storage capacity ensures that our Solar Wireless Blinds work almost two times longer than ordinary solar-powered outdoor blinds, even on cloudy days and in the middle of winter.

Suitable for Large Windows Up to 15m²

On newly constructed houses and outdoor structures in particular, windows tend to be large to let in as much daylight as possible. Our solar-powered outdoor blinds are available with cassette depths of 90mm, 110mm and 125mm to cover windows of a broad range of sizes.

For large windows up to 15m², we use an even more powerful 20 Nw motor and a different roller shaft to guarantee that your external blinds will be sturdy and durable regardless of size.

Customisable Design

Our Solar Wireless External Blinds are fitted with two subtly integrated solar panels that don’t protrude from the cassette, creating a sleek and streamlined appearance.

It’s up to you how we integrate the solar cells, with 4 different design finishes to choose from:

  • Standard Symmetrical: One solar panel on the left and one on the right of the cassette
  • Standard Asymmetrical: Both panels on either the left or right of the cassette
  • Colour: The solar panels are printed in the same colour as the building or structure to seamlessly blend in with your exterior aesthetic
  • Black Belt: A connection is placed between the two solar panels to create one stylish black strip across the top of the cassette

Fully Automated Wired External Blinds for New Constructions

Our sleek Wired External Blinds are the perfect fit for new-build projects and make excellent additions to our bespoke outdoor living structures.

These built-in screens offer sustainable and natural cooling solutions for your energy-saving home, adjusting automatically to keep the fabric taut at all times and in all weather conditions.

Wired External Blinds: Key Features

  • Built-in screens ideal for new build projects
  • Automatic adjustment
  • Modern and sleek design
  • Suitable for large windows up to 12m²
  • Remote controlled from your mobile phone

The Benefits of Our Built-In Wired External Blinds

With their aesthetic appearance and year-round heat protection, our built-in Wired External Blinds are a must-have addition to any new-build construction.

There are numerous factors that make these fully automated outdoor blinds a worthwhile investment:

Safe and Easy to Use

Our Wired External Blinds can be operated with a wall transmitter, or straight from your mobile phone with IO home control. This makes them incredibly easy to adjust from anywhere in your home at just the touch of a button.

Additionally, optional obstacle detection makes these external vertical blinds completely safe for homes with children or pets, as this will ensure the screen stops automatically if anything blocks it from being lowered.

Automatic Adjustment

The motors in our Wired External Blinds check the fabric tension every 100 cycles and automatically recalibrate themselves if necessary. This means that the fabric is always taut and therefore more resistant to gusts of wind.

Save Energy

Our built-in outdoor blinds alleviate the need for air conditioning in your home, instead offering a completely natural and sustainable cooling solution. This will make your home more energy-efficient and help you to cut back on your energy usage.

Sleek and Streamlined Design

We install built-in screens above the window in the cavity wall, which means the cassette is totally invisible for a completely modern and seamless appearance. The bottom rail also completely disappears from view when the external screens are not in use.

Highly Customisable

Our bespoke Wired External Blinds are extremely customisable, allowing you a high degree of control over how the finished product will look.

With over 200 options in a variety of colours and transparencies to choose from, you’re sure to find a style that perfectly matches the exterior aesthetic of your building or structure.

Sleek and Sturdy Outdoor Blinds for Your Existing Windows

One of the best things about our external vertical blinds is that they can be fitted on your existing windows, meaning you don’t have to be taking on any major renovation projects to enjoy the benefits of these incredible outdoor screens.

In fact, we can quickly and easily fit your solar-powered external blind systems in less than a day, and you wouldn’t even have to be at home during the installation!

That’s because these blinds are powered exclusively by solar energy, so we don’t have to lay any cables or make sure there’s a power socket nearby. The installation of our solar-powered external blinds takes place completely on the outside of your home and requires absolutely no cutting or breaking work.

Our eco-friendly Solar Wireless Blinds are therefore the easiest and most efficient way of creating perfect external shading for your existing windows.

External Blinds for Businesses

Our sleek and modern external blinds aren’t just for domestic spaces – we can also install these stunning products in a broad range of business spaces, including shops, restaurants, office buildings, and more.

No matter what type of business you run, you deserve ultimate solar protection all year round to keep you, your employees, and your customers happy and comfortable.

Public buildings tend to have large windows that let in a lot of heat in the summer, which can be bad for business. With our sturdy exterior blinds which cover windows up to 15m², you can completely block out the heat and continue business as usual even in the hottest of temperatures.

This is also an incredibly cost-effective cooling solution for your business, helping you to massively cut down on your energy bills by reducing the need for air conditioning.

If you’re interested in external blinds for your place of business, get in touch and we’ll help you find the perfect option that meets your specific requirements. We’ll give you an honest and accurate upfront quote, so you don’t have to worry about any sneaky additional fees cropping up later down the line.

Regular Outdoor Blinds vs. Open Space Concepts’ External Blinds: What’s the Difference?

There are many factors that make Open Space Concepts’ range of external blinds superior to your standard exterior blinds.

We’ve already outlined the benefits of keeping your home cool with external blinds, but what specifically makes our range of external blinds better than any other?

To help you feel more confident that you’re making the right choice by choosing us, here are some handy side-by-side comparisons to consider:

Regular External Blinds Open Space Concepts’ External Blinds
Can only be controlled manually using a wall transmitter next to the blinds. Can be remote-controlled from anywhere in your home or building for ultimate convenience.
Can be an eyesore because the cassette and bottom rail are usually visible and may block part of the window. Have a stylish and streamlined design that seamlessly integrates with your home/building’s external aesthetic.
Do not offer a high degree of customisation, leaving you with a product that you’re not entirely satisfied with. Colour and transparency are highly customisable to deliver a result that looks exactly like what you had in mind.
Can be difficult and time-consuming to install because cables will usually have to be laid. Quick and easy to install, especially if you choose a completely solar-powered option.
Do not adjust automatically, meaning they can become slack and less sturdy during windy conditions. Automatic adjustment to ensure that the fabric always stays taut, even in strong winds.
Might not be able to be installed on existing windows. Can be added to existing windows or new-build structures.
