I've just returned from my first trip to Germany. I stayed in a small town near Dusseldorf and was very impressed by the metal roller-blinds fitted as standard on all domestic windows as well as hotels shops etc.
This particular model lowers smoothly from top to bottom of the window in runners sunk in the sides of the window alcove. It lowers like a guillotine and is closed and opened by pulling a strap situated on the internal wall. It can be left open/closed at any position and when fully closed has the option of closed with small gaps admitting daylight, or closed tight for complete darkness.
Does anyone know what these are called? Can they be installed on existing cavity-wall houses and any idea of cost?
