External roller blinds and their types

External roller shutters of the Standard type, often called surface-mounted, are made of high-quality aluminium alloy, thanks to which they meet the highest strength standards.

A characteristic feature of these roller shutters is the metal housing (box) that contains the mechanism for raising and lowering the curtain on the wall or in the window recess, making it visible on the facade. That is why they are sometimes called facade roller shutters. The boxes of this type of roller shutter come in various shapes, and the inspection cover is located at the front of the box. This type of roller shutter is used in new buildings as well as in existing ones. Covers are available with and without insulating foam. Foam significantly increases the thermal insulation of the building.

Top-mounted roller blinds

These roller shutters are placed on top of the window and then installed together with it in the window recess. Therefore, this type of solution must be taken into account in the design or when replacing windows. They are perfect for PVC, wooden or aluminium windows. The roller shutter box is made of hard PVC, insulated with polystyrene or neoprene. The inspection cover is located at the back or underneath the cassette. It can be accessed from the inside of the room. On-window roller shutters allow for the integration of the recess with the window. They can be controlled manually or electrically.

Flush-mounted external roller blinds

This type of external roller blind protects residents from the negative impact of external factors (e.g. noise), but also from burglary. It significantly reduces heat loss. 

The installation method, which involves placing the roller shutter in a lintel recess, requires appropriately designed window openings, making them almost invisible on the facade and thus not disturbing the aesthetics of the building facade

Flush-mounted roller shutters are made of high-quality aluminium and the inspection cover is located under the box. They can be installed with either a manual or an electric drive.

RKS external roller shutters with lintel

This solution is also anticipated by architects and construction investors at the design stage. The roller shutter box is installed in the window lintel during the construction of the building. Usually, RKS polystyrene lintels are made of hard polystyrene reinforced with steel bars, while the sides are covered with suprema board.

Burglar-proof roller blinds

The burglar-proof roller blind system uses solutions that ensure the safety of the household in the most effective way. The design of these roller blinds also takes into account the decorative element.

In this product, individual elements, such as guides, have reinforcements that eliminate the risk of bending and pulling out the roller shutter profiles. The specially reinforced construction of the entire roller shutter protects it from damage in the event of an impact during a break-in.

The lower part of the roller shutter has a ratchet mechanism that prevents the closed curtain from being lifted. The roller shutters are made of aluminium, which makes them lightweight, easy to maintain and weather-resistant.

Burglar-proof roller shutters can be adapted to various systems in which the armour is rolled up into an aluminium box, placed on the wall or in the jamb. The technologies used, as well as the well-thought-out design, allow for such installation that the boxes are as inconspicuous as possible. A wide range of adaptation systems enables them to be aesthetically matched to the facade of the house. Like the aforementioned external roller blinds, they are available throughout Poland. In every major city such as Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan and others, you can find not only sellers but also professional service.
