Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About the ROMA F50
For which types of facade structures is ROMA F50 suitable?
The ROMA F50 system was developed specifically for 50 mm and 60 mm mullion-transom facades and, thanks to its uniform face width, integrates seamlessly into the structure. Thanks to the flexibility of combining External Venetian Blinds F50 and zipSCREEN F50 , even diverse requirements for a single building can be harmoniously met.
Does the ROMA F50 require additional mounting to the facade?
No, the patented steel pin creates a self-supporting system consisting of the panel and the guide rail, so no additional box mounting is required. This saves both time and money during installation.
How wind-resistant are the External Venetian Blinds F50 and zipSCREEN F50?
Thanks to their seamless integration with the facade system, both systems offer high wind resistance; the zipSCREEN F50 can withstand winds of up to 117 km/h. The exact wind resistance limits for the F50 External Venetian Blind depend on the slat type and element size and should be determined on a project-by-project basis in consultation with a ROMA Distributor.
