Exterior (Heat protection)
VELUX exterior sunscreens are the best solution for keeping heat from entering your home and causing overheating.
Anti-heat blinds and shutters can reduce indoor temperatures with up to 5 degrees* because they block the sun’s rays before they reach your windows. This significantly reduces the amount of heat entering your space, ensuring a comfortable indoor climate.
For added comfort, pair exterior sunscreens with interior blinds.
