External Venetian Blinds with insect screens: directing light, keeping insects out

Q: How do External Venetian Blinds with insect screens work?

External Venetian Blinds with insect screen combine adjustable slats for light and heat regulation with a separately operated insect screen. In high-quality systems such as ROMA External Venetian Blinds, the fly screen is mounted in the external venetian blind box and guided in the guide rail via a separate running chamber.

Q: Can insect screens be retrofitted to existing External Venetian Blinds?

Yes, in many cases it is possible to retrofit insect screens into existing sun shading systems. Suitable guide rails and sufficient installation space are required. A ROMA specialist partner will check the structural requirements on site if you are interested in External Venetian Blinds with integrated insect screens.

Q: What advantages do integrated systems offer over adhesive fly screens?

Integrated insect screen systems are more durable, stable and visually inconspicuous than stick-on fly screens. Glued-on solutions can quickly come loose, get dirty or tear and disturb the view to the outside. In winter, simply leave them in the box - ideal for stowing away.

External Venetian Blinds with insect screens combine two practical functions in one system: sun protection and protection against mosquitoes, wasps and other annoying insects. With the integrated insect screen for ROMA External Venetian Blinds - also known as external blinds - you not only have a highly functional sun shading system with flexible light control, but also individually controllable insect protection. With this intelligent combination, ROMA offers undisturbed living comfort with unrestricted use of your sun protection.

External Venetian Blinds with integrated insect screen: advantages at a glance

External Venetian Blinds with insect screens combine the advantages of external Venetian blinds with a freely movable insect screen. The result: a complete technical system with numerous advantages that blends harmoniously into the façade and requires no additional components.

The advantages at a glance:

Precise daylight controlthanks to adjustable slats.
Simultaneous protection from heat, glare and unwanted glances as well as from small and large insects.
Space-saving design: no additional components required thanks to integration of the insect screen in the external venetian blind box.
Transparency and aesthetics: no impairment of the façade appearance or the view to the outside.
Individual control: External Venetian blinds and insect screens can be opened and closed independently of each other.
Long-lasting protection: when rolled up in the external venetian blind box, the insect screen is protected from the weather and remains clean and undamaged.

Sun shading and insect screens: how they work together

Like the slats, the insect screen is fully integrated into the roller shutter box - either directly when the sun shading is installed or as part of a retrofit. In both cases, the grille is operated separately from the blind. Thanks to the guide in a separate air chamber in the guide rail, the insect screen can be rolled up and down independently of the moving slats.

If required, the insect screen can be used separately at any time without impairing the function of the External Venetian Blinds. In contrast to a retrofitted fly screen, this creates a visually clean and technically perfectly coordinated solution.

Integrating and retrofitting insect screens for external blinds

ROMA offers the integration of insect screens for various External Venetian Blinds models. Regardless of whether you want to retrofit insect protection or plan it directly into a new building - ROMA offers suitable systems and solutions for almost all buildings.

Retrofitting insect screens for ROMA External Venetian Blinds

Do you already have ROMA External Venetian Blinds and would like to integrate additional insect protection for windows ? In many cases, professional retrofitting is possible without any problems. While the External Venetian Blinds continue to provide daylight control, glare protection and summer heat protection, the insect screen allows undisturbed ventilation. ROMA specialist partners check the structural conditions, recommend suitable solutions and take care of installation.

Integrating or gluing insect screens? Advantages in comparison

Glued-on fly screens or stretch frames are often cheap and quick to install, but they can tear or get dirty just as quickly. This not only detracts from the aesthetics, but also impairs the view to the outside and, in the worst case, the functionality of the insect screen.

An integrated insect screen, on the other hand, is designed to match the External Venetian Blinds system. In External Venetian Blinds with insect screens from ROMA, the grille runs in its own stable guide. In winter, it can simply be stowed away in the box. Integrated insect screen roller blinds also impress with their

harmonious façade appearance
Durablematerials
precise guidance
high ease of use
