ROMA roller shutter curtains made to measure: aluminum or plastic

A Roller Shutters curtain from ROMA plays a key role in determining how effectively your Roller Shutters function in terms of thermal insulation, darkening, privacy protection and burglar resistance. Depending on the material and profile structure, there are different advantages for new builds or renovations. Whether particularly robust aluminum or economical PVC-U - ROMA offers the right solution for every requirement in tested brand quality.

A roller shutter curtain is the movable part of the roller shutter system and consists of several interconnected roller shutter slats. The curtain is the sun shading curtain that is lowered vertically in front of the window and covers it completely when closed.

The roller shutter curtain thus performs the most important functions of the entire system: it protects against solar radiation, contributes to heat and sound insulation and increases overall living comfort.

A roller shutter curtain consists of movable slats that are connected to each other on their long side. Below the last slat is the Roller Shutters end strip, which acts as the end of the curtain. This structure is the same for all Roller Shutters - regardless of whether they are Angled Roller Shutters, Front-Mounted Roller Shutters or Top-Mounted Roller Shutters.

The structure of the individual roller shutter curtain slats is variable and is determined by the Roller Shutter Profiles . The slats are generally roll-formed so that they can be rolled up to save as much space as possible. Many slats are also equipped with punched openings as ventilation or Roller Shutters light slits, which allow a minimum amount of light to enter and a constant circulation of air - even when the Roller Shutters are closed.

The roller shutter curtain is located inside the roller shutter box when the sun shading is open. There it is rolled up around the roller shutter shaft until the windows are to be shaded again. When the Roller Shutters are closed, the roller shutter curtain is unrolled from the shaft so that it slides down along the roller shutter guide rail. The roller shutter curtain can be stopped in the desired position at any time during rolling up and unrolling to protect against glare without completely darkening the room.

Several factors are decisive when selecting the roller shutter curtain:

• Material: Aluminum is recommended for high requirements in terms of security, thermal insulation and weather resistance. Plastic profiles offer an inexpensive, lightweight solution.

• Ventilation and indoor climate: Slats with ventilation slots ensure better ventilation when the Roller Shutters are closed and prevent heat build-up in summer.

• Size and window format: For large window areas, the stability and load-bearing capacity of the shutter should be right. Aluminum profiles are usually more suitable here.

It is also crucial that the roller shutter curtain is manufactured exactly to your requirements. ROMA made-to-measure roller shutter curtains are individually adapted to the window size, installation situation and requirements - for permanently reliable operation. Competent ROMA specialist distributors will advise you personally and on a project-specific basis when selecting the optimum material and suitable design.

A ROMA roller shutter curtain unfolds its full potential in combination with an automatic control system. Whether by wall switch, radio remote control or integrated into the Smart Home - modern drive systems enable convenient and precise operation of your Roller Shutters.

Roller Shutters timers or sensors that detect the position of the sun and weather conditions automatically move the roller shutter curtain to the optimum position. This keeps the heat out in summer, while providing additional thermal insulation in winter. At the same time, automatic control increases security, as presence can be simulated. ROMA offers intelligent solutions for this in cooperation with established partners - for more comfort, energy efficiency and security in everyday life.
