Frequently asked questions about our exterior sunscreens

Why are exterior sunscreens best for heat protection ?

VELUX heat protection blinds provide shading from the outside while still allowing ample daylight into the room. This solution is perfect for areas like home offices, living rooms and even bathrooms, where you want to reduce glare and heat, but want to maintain natural light and a view of the outdoors.
