Somfy helps you to realise your outdoor venetian blinds installation
Electric outdoor blinds provide the ideal solution for effective light management in your home and, if necessary, to prevent curious people from looking inside. An electrically operated outdoor venetian blind ensures that your house remains pleasantly cool in the summer and that the plants and furniture are protected from the damage that can be caused by bright light thanks to the adjustable slats.
Motorised outdoor blinds are usually installed by a professional who should be able to help you with your choice.
Our complete range adapts to all your needs using different technologies (radio, wired motor ...).
