Top-mounted roller shutter box: structure, insulation and installation

The top-mounted roller shutter box sits above the window and is installed together with the element. ROMA offers various box solutions for this, which are designed for good thermal insulation, reliable function and a discreet appearance.

You can choose between roller shutter boxes made of plastic with an integrated polystyrene insulating shell or variants made of highly insulating PUR rigid foam. Both systems are characterized by excellent thermal insulation values and actively contribute to the energy efficiency of your building. Depending on the system, the roller shutter box can be integrated inconspicuously into the façade and supports energy-efficient construction and modernization.

Windows with Top-Mounted Roller Shutters for new builds and renovations

Whether you are building a new house or renovating - ROMA Top-Mounted Roller Shutters can be used in practically any construction project. In new builds, the top-mounted system can be planned from the outset in order to integrate the Roller Shutters seamlessly. But this system also pays off in renovations with window replacements: Windows with Top-Mounted Roller Shutters can be retrofitted so that a modern sun protection and insulation concept is installed at the same time.

As the Top-Mounted Roller Shutters sit directly on the window, installation is possible regardless of the type of building - whether solid construction, timber frame construction or clinker brick façade, the system fits everywhere. The flexibility of ROMA Top-Mounted Roller Shutters is therefore evident in both new builds and modernization projects - always with the aim of sustainably increasing living quality and energy efficiency.

Front-Mounted Roller Shutters or Top-Mounted Roller Shutters? - The differences

When it comes to roller shutter systems, you are often faced with the choice of Front-Mounted Roller Shutters or Top-Mounted Roller Shutters - but what are the differences? Basically, there are two different installation concepts:

A top-mounted roller shutter is installed together with the window, the box sits on top of the window and disappears under plaster if required. Front-Mounted Roller Shutters, on the other hand, are placed on the façade in front of the existing window and are ideal for retrofitting Roller Shutters. Front-Mounted Roller Shutters are therefore often used for renovations where the windows remain unchanged. They can either be integrated inconspicuously into the façade (e.g. in a niche above the window) or deliberately designed as a visual element, for example with colored roller shutter covers.

Top-Mounted Roller Shutters operated electrically: Convenience at the touch of a button

ROMA Top-Mounted Roller Shutters offer you maximum ease of use, as they can be equipped with an electric drive on request - from the roller shutter motor to the fully networked Smart Home. Operating Top-Mounted Roller Shutters electrically means: no more tedious pulling of belts, instead the roller shutters open and close at the touch of a button or even automatically. You can choose between different types of control:

  • Wall switch or push-button: in the classic way, electrically operated Roller Shutters can be raised and lowered using a switch on the wall.

  • Roller Shutters with remote control: Individual Roller Shutters or groups can be controlled conveniently from the sofa using a hand-held radio transmitter.

  • Automatic with sensors/timer: Roller Shutters open automatically in the morning and close in the evening according to your rhythm using light sensors or programmed times.

  • Smart Home control: Integrate your Roller Shutters into the ROMA Smart Home system and operate them via app or voice command, even when you're on the move.

The electric drive offers maximum convenience and can be easily retrofitted on request.

Optimum thermal insulation and energy efficiency with top-mounted roller blinds

One of the biggest advantages of top-mounted roller blinds is their insulation: thanks to the thermally insulated roller shutter boxes, they significantly improve the thermal insulation of the window. Both available box variants - whether made of plastic with a polystyrene insulating shell or rigid PUR foam - are characterized by the best thermal insulation values. This keeps the heat inside the house for longer in winter, while less heat penetrates in summer. This Top-Mounted Roller Shutters insulation leads to a noticeable potential saving in energy costs.

At the same time, sound insulation at the window also benefits: closed Roller Shutters act like an additional layer of insulation and dampen noise from outside, which is particularly pleasant on busy roads or in city center locations. In addition, every externally fitted Roller Shutters makes a positive contribution to the building's energy balance. This is particularly pleasant on busy streets or in city center locations.
