Electric roller shutters installed in Altea – more comfort, privacy and solar protection

At this home in Altea, we installed two electric roller shutters for an enclosed section of the terrace. The large glass panels here received a lot of sun and could not yet be fully closed off.

The roller shutters were custom-made and finished in white, so that the boxes and the guides to match the home's existing structure.

Roller shutters for a large glass frontage

Large windows provide plenty of light, but direct sunlight also lets in considerable some heat inside. With a roller shutter, the glass frontage can be completely shaded when the sun is shining on it.

Unlike a screen, a roller shutter can be closed completely. That provides not only shade but also complete privacy. As soon as the roller shutter is raised again, it when it rises, the glass and the view remain completely unobstructed.

Electric operation

Because of the size and weight of the roller shutters, electric operation was the most practical choice. The roller shutters can be opened and closed without a pull strap or opened and closed using a manual crank.

This makes it easy to adjust them throughout the day. With direct sun, the roller shutters can be lowered fully or partially. When the sun moves away from the the façade has disappeared, they can be opened again.

Installation against the existing structure

Beforehand, we measured the openings and available installation space. We also checked the position of the roller shutter boxes, the side guides and the existing white profiles around the glass panels.

During installation, both roller shutters were fitted and adjusted separately. The slats were then checked to ensure they run smoothly through the guides and that the stop the roller shutters at the correct end positions.

The final result

The two roller shutters now close off the entire glass frontage. Thanks to the white in the chosen finish, the boxes and guides are barely noticeable against the existing construction.

During the day, the residents can protect the terrace area from direct sunlight and fully close them in the evening for more privacy. When the roller shutters are open, the passage to the outside remains completely clear.
