Thermal Insulation and Energy Savings with Roller Shutters
One advantage of Roller Shutters is that they improve your home’s energy efficiency —effectively and permanently.

In winter, this significantly reduces heat loss and noticeably lowers heating costs, while on hot days you benefit from summer heat protection.
During renovations, replacing windows and Roller Shutters can result in savings of up to 40% on heating energy. With the ROMA System TERMO 2, you also have an efficient solution for energy-efficiently modernizing old roller shutter boxes —without any major construction work.

Light Blocking, Glare Protection, and Sun Protection with ROMA Roller Shutters
The advantages of ROMA Roller Shutters are particularly evident in their precise light control —from near-total blackout to glare-free use of natural light. Whether for restful sleep or glare protection at work, the Roller Shutters reliably shield against direct sunlight. When the Roller Shutter Profiles are fully closed, the room is darkened without any visible gaps.
On the other hand, if you don’t want to be in complete darkness, you can move the slats to an intermediate position : small openings then allow soft daylight to enter the room. In this way, ROMA Roller Shutters create the right lighting atmosphere in every situation and provide noticeably greater comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About the Benefits of Roller Shutters
How much energy can Roller Shutters actually save?
A comprehensive renovation that includes new windows and modern Roller Shutters can result in heating energy savings of up to 40%. Foam-filled aluminum slats act as an additional thermal buffer in the winter and block solar heat in the summer before it enters the room through the glass.
Do Roller Shutters really protect against burglars?
Yes, a closed Roller Shutter increases the resistance at the window and acts as a deterrent. On its own, however, it does not provide complete protection against break-ins. It makes sense to combine it with additional measures such as window locks, security hardware, or alarm systems. The ROMA Security Package can further enhance protection with a reinforced bottom slat, concealed screw fasteners, and an anti-lift device.
Can I retrofit my existing Roller Shutters with a motor?
In many cases, it is possible to retrofit a roller shutter motor without replacing the roller shutter box. Depending on the design, a roller shutter motor —including those with solar or radio-controlled operation—can be retrofitted. A ROMA authorized partner will assess on-site which solution is best suited.
Do solar-powered Roller Shutters work reliably even in winter?
Yes, the built-in battery stores solar energy collected during the day and powers the Roller Shutters even when there is little sunlight. For periods with particularly low light levels, the Roller Shutter battery can also be recharged using an optional charger.
Which Roller Shutters are right for my window?
Which Roller Shutters are best suited for a window depends on the building’s specific situation: New construction projects are typically designed with Top-Mounted Roller Shutters, while the ROMA Front-Mounted Roller Shutters are recommended for retrofitting. A local ROMA specialist partner will find the right solution for your individual wishes and needs.
