Where to Buy Exterior Blinds in Bucharest? Complete Guide 2026

Exterior Blinds in Bucharest — What Options Exist in 2026?

The shading systems market in Bucharest has diversified enormously in recent years. Where once the options were limited to aluminium roller shutters, today you can choose from a wide range: Raffstore exterior venetian blinds, zipscreen, automatic pergolas, shutters and awnings. This guide focuses on exterior blinds — differences from classic shutters, real 2026 prices, delivery areas and installation in Bucharest and Ilfov.

What Are Raffstore Exterior Blinds?

Exterior venetian blinds (Raffstore or C80/Z90 blinds) are shading systems with horizontal aluminium slats of 80–90 mm that can tilt between 0° and 90°. Unlike roller shutters that lower like a shutter, Raffstore slats allow you to simultaneously control light and visibility — an essential feature for offices, south/west-facing apartments and homes with glazed facades.

Advantages of Raffstore exterior blinds over roller shutters:

• Fine control of light and visibility without blocking ventilation
• Reduction of up to 90% of solar radiation (g coefficient ≤ 0.10 with closed slats)
• Compatible with Somfy automation (Sunea io or Altus 50 RTS motor)
• Modern appearance, integrable in contemporary facades
• Available with wind and light sensors for automatic retraction

When they are not suitable:

• For block apartments with a shared facade (installation requires residents' association approval)
• If the budget is limited — they cost more than standard roller shutters

Types of Exterior Blinds Available in Bucharest

1. Exterior Venetian Blinds with 80 mm Slats (Raffstore C80)

The standard model for residential and commercial use. 80 mm lacquered aluminium slats, side guides in cable or rail, top box with or without cover. Manual actuation with strap or electric with Somfy Sunea io motor.

2. Z90 Exterior Blinds (90 mm Slats, Z Profile)

The Z profile of the 90 mm slat offers superior rigidity and better light sealing in the closed position. Recommended for large windows (over 2 m wide) and facades exposed to strong wind.

3. Zipscreen — Exterior Blinds with Zipped Side Guides

The Zipscreen or Screen ZIP system uses a Screen fabric with micro-perforations (3%–10%) fixed in side guides with zip system. Advantage over Raffstore: perfect lateral wind sealing, uniform appearance, high UV protection. Disadvantage: does not adjust slat angle.

Somfy Automation — Why It's Worth It for Exterior Blinds

Somfy motors (Sunea io, Altus 50 RTS) transform exterior blinds into smart systems. With Somfy TaHoma Switch you can control them from the app, integrate with Alexa or Google Home and program them according to the sun schedule (heliocentric mode). The Eolis io wind sensor automatically retracts the blinds at gusts > 50 km/h — essential for protecting the system.
