Range of External Blinds Systems
Helioscreen offers a wide range of external sun control systems to complement every external façade. Our Outdoor Blinds / External Blinds and External Screens are designed to take the toughest of treatments by reducing the sun’s penetration and absorbing the heat. Designed to control the entry of natural light, heat and sun radiation from the outside, Outdoor Blinds and External Screens allow you to extend outdoor living areas while maximising the advantages of glass and view from the inside. Unaffected by extreme temperature changes, Outdoor Blinds and External Screens operate using discreet stainless steel side cables or sleek aluminium zip guide side channels, powder coated to suit any exterior. Helioscreen’s external fabrics come in a wide range of colourways and are anti-static for easy cleaning. External screens can be manually operated or motorised by Somfy and come with quality and performance warranties.
