Front-Mounted Roller Shutters with concealed installation: advantages, systems, planning tips

Front-Mounted Roller Shutters with flush-mounted installation enable simple retrofitting in combination with a discreet façade design. The flush-mounted models from ROMA combine the simple installation of Front-Mounted Roller Shutters with seamless integration into the façade, which is otherwise only possible with Top-Mounted Roller Shutters. Thanks to this highly functional combination, you don't have to compromise on the aesthetic design of your home, even when retrofitting an external sun shading system.

Find out what other advantages Front-Mounted Roller Shutters with flush-mounted installation offer, how they can be retrofitted in the best possible way and which ROMA flush-mounted systems are available.

Would you like to integrate flush-mounted Front-Mounted Roller Shutters into your façade?

Front-Mounted Roller Shutters with flush-mounted installation are identical in function to surface-mounted Roller Shutters. They are mounted on the outside in front of the window and on the façade. The roller shutter box sits above the window and the curtain runs vertically in front of the glazing. There it blocks the sun's rays before they reach the glass, so that the interior does not heat up uncomfortably even on hot days and in strong sunlight.

The decisive difference between Front-Mounted Roller Shutters with flush-mounted installation lies in their installation: unlike conventional Top-Mounted Roller Shutters, they are not visible on the façade, but are integrated into the building fabric - they are plastered in. To do this, the roller shutter box is inserted into the masonry and then clad so that the façade closes seamlessly in front of it.

Flush-mounted Front-Mounted Roller Shutters, as an exterior sun protection system, effectively shield against glare, heat, and prying eyes. In addition to their discreet appearance, they also impress with their technical features and, thanks to their practical benefits, enhance living comfort and thermal insulation around the window.

Key advantages at a glance:

• Discreet design: The recessed box ensures a uniform, uninterrupted facade.

• Effective insulation: Since the Roller Shutters are mounted in front of the window, the building envelope remains intact. No thermal bridges are created because the insulation is not interrupted.

• Ideal for retrofitting with electric operation: Cables and connections are concealed within the wall along with the roller shutter box—preserving the aesthetic integrity of the facade.

Front-Mounted Roller Shutters are the ideal solution, especially for retrofitting and energy-efficient renovation of windows. They can often be easily installed on the existing masonry and can be replaced and fitted independently of the window. Whether you opt for a flush-mounted or surface-mounted model depends on your individual requirements.

An overview of the differences between the two installation variants:

ROMA offers various flush-mounted Front-Mounted Roller Shutters that can be flexibly adapted to different structural requirements, including

• ROMA UNO: Complete system with standardized box size (200 x 170 mm)

• ROMA INTEGO (based on PENTO): Aluminum front wall system with slanted underside for maximum light incidence

• ROMA INTEGO (based on QUADRO): Aluminum front wall system with angular box shape that is plastered in almost invisibly

• INTEGO.Pplus: efficient hybrid solution for optimum comfort and protection

With the ROMA color harmony, the visible components of all Front-Mounted Roller Shutters models - i.e. guide rails and blinds - can be individually adapted to the architecture. In this way, a consistent design concept for a visually appealing façade design can be implemented with every system.

Front-Mounted Roller Shutters combine technology, design, and thermal insulation at the highest level.
