Windows with Front-Mounted Roller Shutters: No thermal bridges

A major advantage of front-mounted roller shutters is their outstanding energy efficiency. The front-mounted roller shutter box sits right in front of the window, which means that the insulation of the building is not penetrated and thermal bridges are eliminated. This leads to less heat loss in winter and less active cooling of the rooms in summer.

This way, front-mounted roller shutters ensure a pleasant indoor climate and can reduce heating and cooling costs.

First off, both front-mounted roller shutters and top-mounted roller shutters offer reliable sun and privacy protection for new builds or renovations. Both also contribute significantly to a higher energy efficiency of your home.
