Roller Shutters can also be retrofitted to windows and doors.
Retrofitting is possible with or without a box, depending on the structural situation.
Retrofitting Roller Shutters with Smart Home integration significantly increases convenience.
Roller Shutters offer protection against burglary, heat, cold and insects.
In some cases, the retrofitting of Roller Shutters can be subsidized by the state, for example by BAFA.
Depending on the type of building, window shape and individual requirements, various retrofit solutions can be considered. The decisive factor is whether the Roller Shutters are to be installed individually or in combination with a window replacement. Aspects such as burglary protection for Roller Shutters, thermal insulation or Smart Home functions also influence the choice of the right system. ROMA offers a wide range of Roller Shutters that are precisely tailored to the respective installation situation, both technically and aesthetically.
Front-Mounted Roller Shutters are mounted on the outside of the façade or in the reveal and are ideal if you want to retrofit Roller Shutters without a box. The technology remains invisible from the inside and is particularly attractive for renovations.
Advantages:
No intervention in the building envelope - ideal for existing buildings and energy-efficient window renovations
Visible, modern design with a wide range of colors and finishes
Very good insulation and soundproofing values with professional installation
ROMA Front-Mounted Roller Shutters are made of high-quality aluminum and offer high stability, durability and reliability in all weather conditions.
Top-Mounted Roller Shutters are mounted directly onto the window and installed together with it - a particularly efficient solution if you want to retrofit roller shutters and are planning to replace the window anyway. The roller shutter box sits invisibly in the building structure and blends harmoniously into the façade.
Advantages:
Clean, almost invisible integration into the building structure
Excellent thermal insulation values thanks to sophisticated system design
Ideal for renovations with window replacement and energy modernization
Roller Shutters can be easily retrofitted and windows modernized with optimally coordinated ROMA add-on systems.
Whether large glass front or modern gable window: Roller Shutters for slanted windows can also be easily retrofitted . ROMA Angled Roller Shutters are precisely adapted to the respective window geometry and offer reliable sun, privacy and heat protection.
Advantages:
Suitable for asymmetrical and unusual façade shapes
Perfect solution for architecturally sophisticated properties and modern glass architecture
The design remains free even with complex window shapes - without having to forego the advantages of modern Roller Shutters.
If you have Roller Shutters retrofitted, you gain much more than "just" shade: Retrofitted Roller Shutters offer a number of advantages. This is because modern ROMA Roller Shutters can noticeably increase everyday comfort and protect the fabric of the building in the long term.
More security
Roller Shutters can be retrofitted with burglary protection using reinforced profiles, special guide rails and optional security components. This increases resistance to unauthorized opening and noticeably enhances building security.
Effective insect protection
Roller Shutters with Insect Screening can be retrofitted with integrable insect protection systems - ideal for bedrooms, living areas and patio doors. The combination of Roller Shutters and insect screens ensures pleasant nights and undisturbed ventilation.
Increase energy efficiency
Modern Roller Shutters improve insulation in both summer and winter. Closed blind systems reduce heat loss, save heating costs and also act as heat protection. In older buildings in particular, this leads to significant energy benefits and greater living comfort.
"A retrofitted Roller Shutters is a small component with a big impact: it reduces energy losses and increases the efficiency of a building in the long term."
If you retrofit electric Roller Shutters, they can also be seamlessly integrated into modern Smart Home systems at a later date, offering a significant increase in convenience, efficiency and security.
Advantages of Smart Home retrofitting:
Convenient control via app, voice command or automated scenarios
Energy-efficient daylight and shading control
Presence simulation for increased security in everyday life
