Types of DAKO Exterior Roller Shutters
DK-RSP Flush-Mounted Exterior Roller Shutters
Flush-mounted roller shutters are installed on the exterior side of the window, beneath the surface of the façade. This makes them almost invisible, enhancing the building's aesthetic appeal. However, the installation of these shutters is only possible during the construction or major renovation of the building, as it requires appropriate window recesses. Flush-mounted roller shutters offer high thermal and acoustic insulation, significantly reducing heating costs and improving indoor acoustic comfort.
Top-Mounted Exterior Roller Shutters
Top-mounted roller shutters are installed directly on the window and are available in two box shapes: round and square. Due to their flexibility, they can be installed at various stages of construction, making them more versatile than flush-mounted shutters. Top-mounted roller shutters provide excellent protection against weather conditions and enhance the building's thermal insulation. Their design allows for easy maintenance through a revision flap located inside the room.
Surface-Mounted Exterior Roller Shutters
Surface-mounted roller shutters are installed on the building's façade without interfering with its structure. They come in three box shapes, allowing them to be tailored to the architectural style of the building. Surface-mounted shutters are ideal for existing buildings where the installation of other types of shutters would be difficult or impossible. They provide effective protection against the sun, wind, rain, and other weather conditions and increase acoustic insulation.
Benefits of Exterior Roller Shutters
Energy Savings and Thermal Insulation
DAKO exterior roller shutters contribute significantly to energy savings for heating and cooling the building. In the summer, they prevent excessive sunlight from heating the rooms, reducing the need for air conditioning. In winter, they enhance thermal insulation, reducing heat loss through the windows and lowering heating bills.
Protection Against Weather Conditions
Exterior roller shutters effectively protect windows from harmful weather conditions such as sun, wind, rain, and snow. Closed shutters prevent the fading of window frames' colors and protect against mechanical damage caused by strong winds or precipitation.
Acoustic Insulation
Using exterior roller shutters can significantly reduce the level of noise coming from outside. This is particularly important in buildings located in noisy areas, close to roads or railways. Closed shutters create an additional sound barrier, improving acoustic comfort inside the rooms.
Enhanced Security
DAKO exterior roller shutters, even those without anti-burglary classification, provide an effective barrier for potential burglars. They make it difficult to access the windows, increasing the residents' sense of security and protecting the home from unwanted intruders.
Light Control and Privacy
Exterior roller shutters allow for light control according to current needs. They make it easy to control the amount of light entering the interior, which is especially useful on hot, sunny days. Additionally, closed shutters provide complete privacy, protecting against curious neighbors and passersby.
Choosing the Right Roller Shutter System
- Installation Stage
Choosing the right roller shutter system largely depends on the stage at which their installation is planned. Flush-mounted and top-mounted shutters require consideration in the building's design or installation during window replacement. Surface-mounted shutters can be installed at any time, making them a more universal solution.
- Box Location
The roller shutter box can be located outside the building or in the window recess. Choosing the appropriate location depends on aesthetic preferences and technical installation possibilities. A box placed under the façade surface is invisible, improving the building's appearance.
- Revision Flap
The revision flap, used for maintenance and servicing the shutter, can be located outside the building or inside the room. An external flap allows easy access to the shutter mechanisms without disturbing the residents, which is a significant advantage in case of repairs.
Comfort Through Automation
Manual and Remote Control
DAKO exterior roller shutters can be manually operated using pull straps or remotely controlled with shutters equipped with electric drives. More and more customers are opting for automation, which provides convenience and ease of use. Electric drives allow programming of the shutters, enabling optimal use of sunlight and energy savings.
Smart Home Integration
Modern roller shutter motors can be controlled wirelessly, allowing integration with smart home systems. This way, the shutters can be controlled via smartphones, tablets, or voice-activated systems, significantly increasing user comfort. Automated shutters can be programmed to open and close at specific times of the day, helping to manage energy and maintain the appropriate indoor temperature.
