European blinds solve this as well, they are made of plastic and are on the outside of the window, not inside
Blinds on the outside? Here all blinds are inside the window between the window planes
Which is complete lunacy, if you ask me.
Why? They are protected from the weather.
I also forgot to mention that I am in Europe.
Tbh I'm just used to always finding them on the outside. But yeah if they're not old-timey style blinds that are basically just doors for your windows I guess having them inside has some advantages.
Huh? They aren't in every European country
At least all countries I've been to have blinds on the outside. Germany and Netherlands have rolling shutters like these: https://www.rollorieper.de/images/rollladen/overview_rollladen_mobile.webp
Southern and Eastern european countries tend to have little doors on the outside like these: https://www.schneider-schoenwalde.de/fileadmin/_processed_/3/8/csm_moosgruene-fensterlaeden_d2513c37b0.webp which are made of wood or plastic
I have never been to poland, scandinavia or the baltics, but all countries I've been to have one way or another to completely block light and don't let cats scratch the curtains
Not romania :p
