External venetian blind box with concealed installation: when technology "disappears"
A flush-mounted external venetian blind box is ideal if you want a particularly understated façade effect. The box is mounted in front of the window, as with conventional Front-Mounted External Venetian Blinds, but is also plastered and thus seamlessly integrated into the façade. The box and additional components such as cables and connections disappear behind the façade. As a result, the sun shading system and the façade become a single visual unit, which is otherwise only possible with Top-Mounted External Venetian Blinds with an opening in the building envelope.
Insulated external venetian blind box for modern building envelopes
If the external venetian blind box is installed above the window in the building opening, the facade insulation is interrupted at that point. The consequences: thermal bridges, drafts, and potential energy loss. An insulated external venetian blind box maintains thermal protection and ensures uninterrupted insulation. This is particularly advantageous for energy-efficient window renovations and new construction. ROMA box solutions for Top-Mounted External Venetian Blinds are equipped with high-quality insulation and guarantee maximum living comfort and protection against the cold.
