External roller shutters and zip screens

External aluminium roller shutters — monoblock, plaster-in, surface-mounted and hinged — plus textile zip screen systems.

In short

All four shutters share the same aluminium slat curtain filled with polyurethane foam and the same drives; they part company at the stage of the building. The monoblock goes into the wall with the window, the plaster-in one before the external insulation, while the surface-mounted and hinged versions fit an already finished house.

What stage is the building at?

The question is not which shutter insulates best, but which one can still be fitted. The sections below show where the box ends up in each case — the one thing a photograph of a finished window cannot show.

  • one body with the window

    Monoblock external roller shutters

    A monoblock with the joinery: box and window enter the masonry together. The best insulation in the range.

    Fitted
    With the new joinery
    The box
    Insulated extruded PVC, in the masonry
    Service access
    From inside, bottom or front hatch
  • the box vanishes into the façade

    Plaster-in external roller shutters

    The box disappears into the external insulation. Decided before the façade is clad; serviced from outside.

    Fitted
    Before the render and the insulation
    The box
    Aluminium, buried in the façade
    Service access
    From outside, through the bottom hatch
  • the box stays visible

    Surface-mounted external roller shutters

    Fitted over the existing frame, with nothing broken open. The answer for houses already built and lived in.

    Fitted
    On already finished buildings
    The box
    Aluminium, surface-mounted and visible
    Service access
    From the front, the box is reachable
  • 45°it projects, the air moves

    Hinged external roller shutters

    Projects outwards up to 45°: shade and ventilation at once, with privacy kept.

    On already finished buildings
    The box
    Aluminium, surface-mounted and visible

  • fabric tensioned in a zip

    Zip screen fabric

    Fabric tensioned in side guides. It cuts solar radiation while keeping the view out, and nobody sees in from the street.

    Fitted
    At any time, surface-mounted on the façade
    The box

Insulation figures are those declared for the system's standard configurations. Performance on a given opening depends on its dimensions, on the existing joinery and on the quality of the installation.

New build

Monoblock external roller shutters

The insulated PVC box is fitted to the window frame through an adaptor profile, and the assembly goes into the masonry opening as one piece. It removes the thermal bridge above the window instead of adding one, which makes it the only system in the range we recommend for passive houses.

Plaster-in external roller shutters

The aluminium box is fitted above the window before the insulation boards and the render, and its renderable front becomes a substrate for the adhesive, the reinforcing mesh and the decorative render. Nothing protrudes from the façade afterwards.
