For several decades of the roller shutters have been an ideal element of protection of both door and window openings. They perfectly replace the grilles and doors. On their basis, many similar protective structures were created. For example, roller gates and lattices. The principle of operation of all rollete systems is extremely simple, but it is this simplicity that is the key to the effectiveness of their use. Today, roller shutters are perhaps the most aesthetic element of protection in the market of finishing materials. They have a pleasant appearance, fit well into the exterior of the building and can have various specialized and forming solutions. However, many people in such aesthetics find flaws. The main aesthetic flaw of modern rolling systems is a box. The box protects against the negative effects of the external environment The entire mechanism of roller. It is mounted directly outside the window or doorway and is a fairly voluminous design that is difficult not to notice on the facade. This fact scares away many potential buyers of riveting systems. Not every owner of a cottage or a country house will agree to such an addition to an impeccable exterior of the building.
Built -in roller shutters
Built -in roller shutters allow to solve the problem of the ineesthetics of the protective box. However, the process of installing such structures is quite laborious and is associated with direct intervention in the original architecture of the structure. It’s good if the door and window openings were prepared for the installation of rollete systems during the design of the house. But often the owner of the house is decided to install Rolstavan after the completion of the main construction. Built -in roller shutters, like their standard analogues have the following design: a roll canvas; rotating shaft; protective box; side walls; Guides.
The main difference between such structures is the location of the box. When installing standard rolled roller, the box is located directly outside the opening. It is quite voluminous and well noticeable against the background of general architecture. The protective box of the built -in roller shows is hidden from the eyes of outsiders either in a specially prepared recess in a window or doorway, or is mounted directly in the opening without preparation.
Methods for installing the box.
As mentioned above, the protective box of the role system can be mounted in two main ways: installation over the opening; Installation in the opening.
When installation is carried out over a window or doorway, additional work is carried out with the facade of the building. Outside of the opening in the wall for the box, an additional recess is omitted, in which a protective box is installed. After installation, the damaged part of the wall is closed with a special stove, which is subsequently finished in accordance with the overall architecture of the structure. As a rule, this installation method allows you to completely hide the box from prying eyes. However, he is not without shortcomings. If we talk about standard scrolling systems, then their repair does not cause special difficulties among the masters, since the rollete mechanism is in quick accessibility. In the case when the box is installed above the opening, the repair will be difficult, and the facade will have to “hammer” once again.Installation of the box directly in the opening is carried out only when protecting windows, since the structure is installed without additional excavations under the box. In this case, it is enough just to hide it, however, the height of the window opening will be reduced by the size of the mounted structure. The advantages of built -in rolling systems are more than obvious. On the one hand, it is, of course, the “invisibility” of the box, on the other hand, the protection of the box itself from the negative impact of the external environment. With proper operation, such structures can last several years without additional maintenance. Among the minuses, it can be noted, of course, the inaccessibility of the box during breakdown
