Windows with Front-Mounted Roller Shutters: Preventing thermal bridges
A major advantage of front-mounted roller shutters is that they are installed in front of the window. Because the front-mounted roller shutter box is positioned in front of the window, the building’s insulation remains intact and thermal bridges are eliminated. This can result in less heat loss in the winter and less heating of the rooms in the summer . In this way, they can help create a comfortable indoor climate and reduce heating and cooling costs.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about Front-Mounted Roller Shutters
Can I also retrofit ROMA Front-Mounted Roller Shutters?
Yes, ROMA offers custom-made external roller shades that are ideal for retrofitting during renovations, since they are installed independently of the window. The building envelope remains intact—with no thermal bridges whatsoever.
How does a front-mounted roller blind work?
An exterior front-mounted roller shutter—technically known as a “Front-Mounted Roller Shutter” —is mounted on the exterior of the building, in front of the window. The roller shutter box remains visible and houses the roll-up blind. When lowered, the shutter glides down along side guide rails, providing protection from the sun, heat, cold, noise, and prying eyes. It can be operated manually, electrically, or via Smart Home. The major advantage is that the building envelope remains intact, which prevents thermal bridges.
What is the difference between Front-Mounted Roller Shutters and Top-Mounted Roller Shutters?
