Roller shutters

External roller shutters are a simple way to improve indoor comfort throughout the year. They provide effective protection from excessive sunlight, improve the thermal insulation of the windows and safeguard the privacy of occupants. Modern systems offer a choice of installation methods and technical parameters suitable for both new buildings and refurbishment projects.

External roller shutters for modern homes

One of the most important functions of external roller shutters is to prevent rooms from overheating. The roller-shutter curtain intercepts a significant proportion of solar energy before it reaches the glass, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. During the colder months, it can also reduce heat loss and support the building’s energy efficiency. Other benefits of choosing our modern external roller shutters include:

• greater privacy for occupants;
• reduced noise from outside;
• improved security for the windows;
• protection of windows from adverse weather conditions;
• integration with building automation.

External roller shutters for every stage of a project

Our range includes different types of external roller shutters developed to meet a variety of installation and architectural requirements. Front-mounted and flush-mounted systems are among the most popular solutions. Roller-shutter curtains can be made from different profile types, allowing them to be matched easily to the requirements of a particular project. Depending on the required performance, the following profiles can be used:

• aluminium profiles filled with polyurethane foam;
• extruded profiles offering increased rigidity;
• plastic profiles.

Front-mounted systems – quick installation without altering the building structure

The SK, SKE, SKP, SKO and SKO-P front-mounted systems are designed primarily for existing buildings. They can be installed without altering the window or requiring any special preparation during construction. They can therefore be fitted within the window reveal or directly to the façade, whether as part of a new-build project or during refurbishment. The SK, SKE and SKP systems are particularly popular. The SKP variant features a semi-oval roller-shutter box that complements the building’s façade. SK and SKE external roller shutters feature boxes with a distinctive 45-degree bevel, emphasising the contemporary character of the project. The range is complemented by the SKO and SKO-P systems, whose oval boxes are frequently selected for wall-mounted installation. Their distinctive shape means that the roller shutter serves both a practical and an aesthetic purpose, becoming an integral part of the façade.

SP and SP-E flush-mounted systems for demanding projects

SP and SP-E flush-mounted roller shutters are particularly popular in newly designed buildings. They should be incorporated at the building design stage because the roller-shutter box is completely concealed behind the façade finish. These systems leave the window and lintel intact, helping to maintain the building’s high level of thermal insulation. The systems remain almost invisible, giving the façade a clean and contemporary appearance. External roller shutters for energy-efficient construction The high technical performance of the SP and SP-E systems has been confirmed by the Passive House Institute in Darmstadt. Selected box variants can be used in buildings with very low energy demand, provided that the appropriate installation requirements are observed. Our range also includes external roller shutters for large windows, helping to realise the full potential of large-format glazing in energy-efficient and passive construction.
