SOM Blinds - External Venetians - Glen Waverley
By SOM Blinds
This stunning Melbourne home designed by Finnis Architects was the perfect canvas for external motorised venetian blinds. While providing drama they also provide the homeowner with a practical solution that minimises internal heat gain, enhances light control, maximises privacy and achieves a streamlined architectural facade.
Using home automation the owners are able operate their window furnishings remotely improving the energy efficiency and security of their home.
External venetians are fully retractable allowing easy access to windows for cleaning and maintenance when needed.
Planning for external venetians during the design phase allows recessed pelmets to be correctly sized to ensure the entire stack can be off the glazing when fully retracted.

Sustainability is important to us and many of our clients and we achieve this by supplying appropriate, quality window furnishings that will stand the test of time. We like to think we're providing our clients with classic pieces and not fast fashion.
SOM Blinds came about in 2002 and has become an industry leader in Melbourne manufacturing and supplying automated blinds and window furnishings.
Our unique SOM60 Motorised Blind System was developed by founder Bernie Sombekke and an electrician friend who was an early supplier of home automation.
He was looking for a window furnishing supplier who would not just supply products but was willing to provide his clients with great service with the knowledge and ability to back this up with expert technical support as well.
At SOM Blinds we have always had a huge focus on providing a level of service that keeps our clients recommending us and it works.
We source the very best window furnishing products from suppliers in Australia and internationally to compliment our blind range.
We don’t offer a limited range as we want to make sure we supply the very best solution for your home or project. The same with fabrics we don’t limit the supplier’s whose ranges you can select from. We have access to all of the fabric wholesalers so we will help you find the perfect fabric for your home or project.
What makes SOM Blinds different? The SOM Blinds team, they consult, advise, design, measure, source and install. We spend time getting to know you and your team. We work together to come up with the results your home or project deserves.
