Sorry for not responding earlier to this, Amberlee, but I completely missed it. I don't know the name of any of the companies that produce these, but I, personally, have never seen these in the states. Only in Germany - didn't even see them in Switzerland. I would imagine the companies have websites, but I'll have to see if I can get a name for you. They are really heavy duty things, and are more "built in" than any kind of blind we have here. They really are like the roll up metal "doors" that the people in bad parts of town use to protect their pane glass windows - but these look much nicer and have holes to let the air through. I'll do a little research, and maybe contact Terry's collegue in Germany (he has them on his house) to see if I can get some kind of manufacturers name.

Especially since a little bird told me you might be in the market for some new blinds real soon.
