Product information

External Roller Blinds

Keep your indoor space cool, comfortable and enjoyable during the hot summer months with external blinds.

Made from durable materials, external or outdoor blinds are roller blinds that are mounted to the outside of the glass, regulating the solar heat, light and potentially harmful UV rays that enter your home.

Outdoor blinds block up to 97% of solar heat energy, which in turn can reduce interior room temperatures by more than 10 degrees Celsius, even on the hottest summer days. This will keep your indoor space naturally cooled, negate the need for fans or air conditioning and keep your energy costs low throughout the summer.

We supply both manual and motorised outdoor blinds. With the latter option, there are smart technology options, allowing app control or integration with your home control system at the touch of a button.

Abbott's advice

Where to Use
Outdoor blinds are versatile, therefore are suitable for endless applications and uses. They can cover glazing of all sizes and inclinations, from sliding and folding patio doors, to skylights, roof lights and conservatories, along with pergolas and verandas.
Fitting and Installation
To get a precision fit, we recommend a professional technical survey and installation by our expert team.If you do decide to measure and install yourself, we’ll be happy to provide all the information you’ll need to complete the process.

Becky H.Becky H. ★★★★★ A big thank you to Tommy Mila who couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating throughout the ordering phase of the process. He was very patient and thorough. Graham, who came to take the measurements was very knowledgeable and has lots of suggestions. Overall, a very good level of service, thank you and I am looking forward to the carpet being fitted - Frances HowarthNatalia I.Natalia I. ★★★★★ All in all a great experience. We had to go through a few emails to clarify some details for our bedroom carpet, but all good at the end.The measurement and fitting services were also very good. Thank you!Edward R.Edward R. ★★★★★ Abbott's fitted shutters in three separate rooms including one set of shutters painted with a Farrow and Ball colour to match room.

They was polite and helpful, fitted carpet quickly. Such a lovely job they did. Thanks 😊rosey Z.rosey Z. ★★★★★ My review is rather late, sorry. However I would say this company is brilliant by far miles. I had some Shutter blinds fitted on 2 floors as well as carpet fitted. From start to finish. The day I entered the shop I got a warm, friendly welcome and felt this is the kind of place where I want to spend my money. The service has been immaculate from start to finish. Staff are very friendly and helpful and accommodated everything to suit our needs…. We had to have the shutter measurements adjusted due to an error from my part, as after the team measured everything I had some works done. However the shutter blinds were already ordered! They came back to our place, measured and adjusted our shutter blinds for us before delivering and fitting. It is a family run business and everyone works efficiently with enthusiasm. Superb and brilliant service. Many many thanksJulia B.Julia B. ★★★★★ Great shop with excellent customer service and a really good range of flooring, blinds etc. Love the products and I'll definitely go again - real people too who call you to keep you updated!Pamela T.Pamela T. ★★★★★ We have ordered Luxaflex blinds multiple times from Abbots. Friendly reliable service. Visited showroom in bow first time but after that chose at home from sample books. Very pleased with end products. Would use them againAnn A.Ann A. ★★★★★ Excellent flooring company. They were helpful at the quoting stage when we were discussing options, and came in as the lowest quote from three. Their work was very good - they came on time and did a beautiful job. There was a lot of large furniture to move, in quite a complicated space and Abbott's did that too, putting it all back at the end. Our flat is transformed and I'm delighted. Very happy to recommend them.Joyce C.Joyce C. ★★★★★ A most pleasant experience to go into a shop to see the different types of blinds & dealt with a pleasant helpful person.

In short never had a problem.Kirk M.Kirk M. ★★★★★ We have just taken delivery and installation of a beautiful pair of curtains (and will order more from them for other rooms, in time). The service was both personable and professional and they arrived sooner than we'd expected. Great selection of fabrics to choose from and when our initial selection was over budget they helped us find a cheaper match - which we loved better!Wesley D.Wesley D. ★★★★★ This is the second time I have used Abbott's to kit the house with Luxaflex blinds. The service is second to none.Even when the first batch of blinds didn't really looked the way we wanted, they mediated with the blind manufacturer and sorted out replacements at no extra cost. No quips, just great service.I'd highly recommend them!ntht N.ntht N. ★★★★★ I have had the pleasure of working with Ben and Josh from Abbott's for the past 15 years on numerous projects throughout London. Their service and engagement have consistently been top-notch. Great service and quality, especially when we were under time pressure to delivery in a tiny timeframe.Marieke H.Marieke H. ★★★★★ I was very happy with the whole experience: from the showroom visit (it's big!) and finding out options, to having decided on the flooring type and style and the Abbott's team working to make a timeline that worked for me, to the measuring being done, to the floor being fitted really efficiently and well. Great quality. The floor is beautiful, very happy with how it has turned out. A huge thank you to Abbott's! Communication with Abbott's was great, and whole process and experience very personable and positive.Margaret M.Margaret M. ★★★★★ We started looking at the blind options for our large windows and came across top down and bottom up pleated blinds, which seemed to meet our needs. We started look at various blind companies and came across Abbott's who are the agents for Luxaflex Blinds. They soon came, measured and reassured us that the blinds we had identified would work well on our large windows. We discussed the options and soon, following the quote, we ordered from Abbotts's and four weeks later we were notified that the blinds were ready and that they could come and install them the following day. This was exactly what we had been told when we ordered.Yesterday all 11 Luxaflex Duette top down / bottom up blinds were installed, neatly, efficiently and all the rubbish and old blinds were removed. They look great from inside and outside and all work really well and it is fun playing with them.Last night we finally had a good night's sleep because the blackout blinds really helped to block the lights.In summary, very professional and efficient services and the team on the phone and those visiting the site are very helpful and polite. They stood out from the other companies in terms of providing the best product for our needs and great service to go with itMichael L.Michael L. ★★★★★ We took an enormously long time to pick a carpet and it really helped that Abbots have a very diverse range in their showroom. The team were very helpful - from picking to fitting. and substantially cheaper than others.Jessica K.Jessica K. ★★★★★ Abbott’s Interiors gave us a highly professional service from start to finish. We wanted two large bespoke roller blinds to cover glass doors, which take up an entire wall. They were manufactured and installed perfectly in the time frame given. We also wanted a blind for a sash window, which is situated high up above a stairwell. Abbott’s Interiors worked out the best solution for an unusual and difficult requirement.It would not have been possible to have the blinds we needed in our house had we used an on-line only service. I’m very glad we found such a reliable and professional company to carry out the work.Fergus P.Fergus P. ★★★★★ We are extremely happy with the awning and the professional work carried out all the way through the process by Abbott’s. From initial phone call, we had consultation and measuring meeting within a week, with advice on canopy and frame colouring as well as placement of the awning. When the awning was ready, it took just a couple of hours to install.I am especially happy with Will and his professionalism from initial contact to completion of the installation and instructions for using the awnings.I would highly recommend Abbott's.Duygu D.Duygu D. ★★★★★ Placed orders for blinds. They were very quick to respond. Everything went smoothly throughout the process. All appointments were made on time, the proposed timeframes were realistic and deadlines were met. I am very pleased with the quality of the products and the service I received. Thank you!SarahSarah ★★★★★ Abbott’s is a very friendly, helpful company with an excellent showroom. Tommy answered all my questions and couldn’t have been more helpful. I borrowed 2 large floor samples which gave me a much better idea of the colour and grain of the laminate than the small sample sent by the flooring company. The pricing was clear and although somewhat more expensive than other companies, it was well worth it. I felt confident they would do a professional job - which they did. Graham came to measure and Matt laid the flooring. Both were very pleasant and professional. Matt sorted out the original thresholds to fit. I am happy with my floor and would definitely recommend them.They also have parking at the back of the store.Andrew S.Andrew S. ★★★★★ Helpful advice in colour of stripey stair and fitting was excellentKHKH ★★★★★ Absolutely amazing experience to order Luxaflex blinds from Abbott's and having them fitted. Needed the blinds urgently and the team at Abbott's made it happen in time. Amazing work ethics and immaculate craftsmanship.Nicola B.Nicola B. ★★★★★ Absolutely top notch quality & service. From advice to measuring to installation, all the people I dealt with were very knowledeable and professional. After looking around online for curtains and roman blinds I am extremely pleased with my choice to go to Abbott's. Definitely value for money.Only critical point is the reliability of their planning is their planning. A bit optimistic, they need chasing but get there in the endTam T.Tam T. ★★★★★ Just got our new carpet installed with Abbott's. The service Gary and the team provided are top notch. The product is as we expected them to be. The installation was smooth and the team were very clean and professional. Highly recommended!Heather J.Heather J. ★★★★★ Very happy and very pleased with the service from Abbott's Interiors. They installed plisse shades made to measure for me. I had looked elsewhere but to made to measure by experts is not so easy to find any more.Kate M.Kate M. ★★★★★ Brilliant service - recommended by a family member - the team were really helpful (especially for the measurement, gave good advice) and the installers were tidy, friendly and did a great job. We’re so pleased with the Roger Oates runner.Worth noting that as a new customer I needed to give a deposit for the measurement (redeemable against purchase) and to pay for the invoice in full prior to installation.Thanks team!Simon K.Simon K. ★★★★★ I had a timber floor and window blinds installed by Abbotts recently. The quality of the work was great and everyone I dealt with at Abbotts, without exception, was friendly and professional. I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone considering getting work done in their home.Sam W.Sam W. ★★★★★ We bought some Luxaflex blinds from Abbots and at every stage of the process they were extremely attentive and helpful.
