DAKO Exterior Window Blinds – Stylish, Functional, and Year-Round Sun Protection

Exterior (façade) blinds are one of the most versatile and efficient solutions for controlling sunlight, heat, and privacy in modern homes and buildings. Designed to be mounted on the outside of the window, they intercept sunlight before it even touches the glass, blocking up to 80–90% of solar radiation.

By preventing excessive heat gain in summer, exterior blinds help maintain a cool and comfortable indoor environment—perfect for both work and relaxation. This reduction in heat also means lower air-conditioning and ventilation costs, contributing to long-term energy savings.

In winter, these blinds act as an additional insulating layer, reducing heat loss and helping keep interiors warm. Their year-round benefits extend beyond temperature control—façade blinds also enhance privacy, shielding your interiors from the eyes of neighbours or passers-by without sacrificing style.

Key Advantages of DAKO Exterior Blinds

  • Thermal Comfort in Every Season – Precisely regulate indoor temperature and control the amount of sunlight entering your home.
  • Modern, Customizable Design – Choose between two slat shapes and a range of finishes to complement your home’s architecture.
  • Durability and Weather Resistance – Rigid, high-quality materials ensure lasting performance even in challenging conditions.
  • Flexible Installation Options – Suitable for new builds, renovations, or existing buildings, offering versatility in application.
  • Ease of Operation – Available with either manual or motorized control for user convenience.

Choosing the Right Exterior Blind System

The installation stage is a crucial factor when selecting the ideal façade blind. Some models are designed specifically for integration during the construction phase and should be included in your building plans from the start.

DAKO offers multiple blind configurations and various box types, each supporting different installation methods, such as:

  • Front-Mounted – Attached directly to the building façade.
  • Recessed or Integrated – Fitted within the window opening for a streamlined look.

This flexibility ensures that there’s a solution perfectly suited for your project—whether it’s new construction, a renovation, or a retrofit.

Smart control with automation systems

Smart Control and Automation

The growing popularity of automation systems has transformed the way homeowners interact with their exterior blinds. With DAKO’s motorized options, you can raise, lower, or adjust slat angles remotely for ultimate comfort and precision.

Our blinds can be equipped with:

  • Cable or Radio-Controlled Drives – Operated via wall switches or handheld remotes.
  • Smart Home Integration – Full connectivity with modern home automation systems, allowing you to manage sunlight, shading, and indoor temperature directly from your smartphone, tablet, or voice assistant.

By programming opening and closing schedules, you can make the most of natural light in winter and maximum shading in summer, optimizing comfort while further reducing energy costs.
