Modern trends in architectural fashion are increasingly drawing our eyes to buildings with French windows, glass doors and open terraces. Natural light and open space are what draws us to graceful exteriors with lots of glass openings.
However, as you know, windows and glass doors are the most vulnerable areas, both in terms of energy efficiency and safety. Residents of the Old World have long found the optimal solution - in Italy, Germany, France and other countries, the windows of houses are protected with roller shutters. It is not for nothing that they say that morning in Europe begins with rolling shutters rising.
A house equipped with roller shutters is easily recognizable by the protruding boxes above the window openings, which can be of various shapes: round, semicircular, 20 and 45 degrees. But not always! It turns out that the desire for minimalism also influenced the protective structures, in the family of which roller shutters with a built-in box appeared.
Unlike traditional roller shutters with a built-in box in the open state, they are completely invisible on the facade - the box is mounted in a specially prepared niche above the window or doorway. Then it is masked with the same finishing material as the entire facade of the building. When the roller shutters are lowered, it seems as if they appear directly from the wall of the house.
The fashion for architectural accessories may change, but no one can cancel our desire for safety and comfort inside the house. In this regard, roller shutters can be safely called classics. Firstly, they reliably protect windows from squally wind, sand and uninvited guests. Secondly, roller shutters allow you to maintain the optimal temperature inside the premises at any time of the year without additional energy consumption.
An air gap forms between the window and the roller shutter, which in winter serves as a "thermos" and retains heat. Research carried out by the French Construction Association has proven that roller shutters can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 55%. And as you know, the maximum heat loss - more than 25% - occurs precisely through the windows.
In summer, roller shutters keep the room pleasantly cool. When closed, roller shutters can reduce the indoor temperature by 5 ° C without an air conditioner. But the room will not plunge into twilight. This will be helped by perforated roller shutters, which, when lowered, partially transmit light and create a pleasant atmosphere in the house. Thus, you can close the roller shutters and still allow the house to "breathe".
Large windows in the house mean maximum light in the interior, lightness in the exterior and a sense of freedom of space. Windows protected by roller shutters with a built-in box are comfort inside the house and a guarantee of your safety! And of course, the perfect silhouette of the house … Exactly the way you imagined it!
Roller shutter systems with a built-in box fit harmoniously into the facade of the building. The invisible box and the entire roller shutter mechanism are hidden in a pre-prepared niche above the window opening. Roller shutters with a built-in box are suitable for all types of window and door openings, and are also used with any type of mechanical or automatic control.
1. Insulation. Thermal insulation materials of various types, if necessary, protect the walls of the house from freezing and the formation of a cold bridge.
2. Decorative plaster. Covers the front surface of the box and, after finishing the finishing work, forms a single whole with the facade of the building.
3. Wide range of colors - more than 30 colors. Using roller shutters, you can accurately duplicate the tone of the facade and roof, or, conversely, play on sharp contrasts.
4. A box built into a niche. It allows you to hide the roller shutter mechanism in the facade of the building by hiding the protective box in a pre-prepared niche above the window or doorway.
5. Inspection cover. Provides access to the roller shutter mechanism for convenient system maintenance and service work.
6. Roller shutter. It can be produced from roll-formed profiles or from extruded profiles of various colors.
A system with a built-in box must be provided for in the building design even before construction or reconstruction begins.
