Roller Blinds

SkyFlow SZF/P – venetian blinds in under plaster variant

The SkyFlow SZF/P flush-mounted version of the venetian blind is dedicated for installation in new buildings or existing buildings after making necessary changes within the lintel. That is why it is worthwhile to plan the use of this type of blinds at the design stage. The protective cassette is made of extruded aluminium and has a special plaster foundation, enabling plasterwork with any finishing material. The system has dedicated guide channels for installation. It is also possible to use round and square guide channels from a self-supporting or adapting version.

Venetian blind slats made of shaped aluminium sheet and are available in two shapes: C and Z. Stiffness and wind resistance is guaranteed in the case of blinds slats profiled in the shape of the letter C and their double-sided folding inwards. In addition, their rotation range is from 0 to 180 degrees. The slats in the shape of the letter Z are designed to provide complete shading and are additionally equipped with a special soundproofing seal. Their rotation range is from 0 to 90 degrees.

There are two types of pins available in the offer: steel (durable and resistant) and PVC (minimizes noise that may arise during wind). Max dimensions are: 4500 x 4000 mm (max. surface 18 m²)

SkyFlow SZF/S – venetian blinds in self-supporting variant

The self-supporting version of the blind SkyFlow SZF/S has been designed mainly for façade installation in buildings with large glazing. Due to the clever design, the load-bearing element of the system are the guide channels that transfer the entire weight to the façade columns. Thus, there is no need for additional fixing of the protective cassette, which is a decorative element due to its aesthetic finish. It is made of extruded aluminium and is available in two shapes: oval and square, to which the guide channels have been adapted accordingly.

The product provides for the possibility of modular installation in one cassette up to 6000mm. Blind slats made of shaped aluminium sheet and are available in two shapes: C and Z. Stiffness and wind resistance is guaranteed in the case of blinds slats profiled in the shape of the letter C and their double-sided folding inwards. In addition, their rotation range is from 0 to 180 degrees. The slats in the shape of the letter Z are designed to provide complete shading and are additionally equipped with a special soundproofing seal. Their rotation range is from 0 to 90 degrees.

There are two types of pins available in the offer: steel (durable and resistant) and PVC (minimizes noise that may arise during wind). Max. dimensions are: 4500 × 4000 mm (max. surface 18 m²).

SkyFlow SZF/A – venetian blinds in front-mounted variant

Venetian blind in front – mounted version SkyFlow SZF/A is designed for installation on the elevation or in the window recess in the already existing buildings. The protective cassette is made of 1.2 mm and 2.0 mm thick aluminium sheet and is available in 4 different installation variants. If special strength parameters need to be met, a sheet metal of 2.0 mm is also available.

The system is available with aluminium guide channels, for which telescopic handles with an adjustment option are available, and with steel guides. The aluminium guide channels, the only solution of this type available on the market, are equipped with special seals eliminating the noise that can arise when the slat hits the guide channel. The solution includes the possibility of dividing the blinds by using a double guide channel. In addition, there is the option of using both guide channel versions in one set.

There are two types of pins available in the offer: steel (durable and resistant) and PVC (minimizes noise that may arise during wind). Max. dimensions when using aluminium guide channels is 4500 × 4000 mm (max. surface 18 m²) and 3000 × 4000 mm or 4000 × 2500 mm when using steel rope (max. surface 12 m²).

SK, SKE, SKP front mounted roller shutters

SK, SKE and SKP system-based roller shutters are intended for use in existing buildings. The advantage of these products is that they do not require any special pre-installation preparation nor works to the existing structure as they are not integrated with the window. Buyers can thus decide to install the front-mounted roller shutters at any time. These solutions can be mounted to the window joinery (in the recess) or directly on the wall. In the first case, Aluprof recommends to choose half-oval SKP boxes systems, as they perfectly match the external wall, or SK and SKE systems (version with extruded box) with its box cut at an angle of 45°.

The roller’s curtain is usually made of high quality aluminium sheet filled with polyurethane foam that have special two-layer paint coatings (system PU/PA). This makes the product more resistant to abrasion and weathering. Aluprof also offers profiles of greater rigidity and stability, made of extruded aluminium and plastic profiles. Front-mounted roller shutters can also be integrated with insect screens. This comprehensive solution provides effective protection against insects in summer, while protecting the interior spaces against heat loss in winter.

SKT OPOTERM top mounted roller shutter

SKT OPOTERM is a very universal product designed primarily for installation in newly erected buildings (mainly developer buildings) or for replacement of window joinery. This system belongs to the family of top-mounted roller shutters. The roller shutter box is installed directly on the window frame by means of an appropriately selected adaptive profile, compatible with the window frame profile. It is made of very good quality PVC elements and its interior has been additionally insulated, thus increasing the thermal insulation, which was confirmed by tests carried out in the IFT ROSENHEIM Institute.

The roller-boxes were tested using EPS (Neopor, thermal insulation material) – the tests were based on the current standards and calculation methods. The product demonstrated a very good thermal transmittance performance, e. g. the SKT 230/170 box with integrated insect screen obtained a Usb coefficient of 0.73 W / (m²K) while maintaining high operability to shadow larger glazed areas.

SP and SP-E flush mounted roller shutter systems

SP & SP-E flush-mounted systems are mainly designed for use in newly erected buildings, but also in existing ones, once the necessary changes to the lintel are made. It is important to plan the use of such solutions, which also applies to their installation method, this as early as at the building design stage, to allow for the effective use of the product’s functional values. SP & SP-E systems bring excellent thermal & sound insulation performance as they do not interfere with windows, doors or lintels, and thus they do not affect the building’s energy use. What’s more, they integrate the building’s façade and form an integral part thereof. The front section of the box is equally a layer for any finishing material (i.e. clinker), so that it remains an unnoticed element of the façade.

Other elements such as access cover or channels can colour-match the windows. As it is the case for adaptive systems, the roller’s curtain can be made of foam-filled plastic or extruded profiles. Flush-mounted system-based roller shutters can be equipped with an insect screen which provides effective protection against insects while maintaining the flow of light and fresh air to interior spaces.
