Tensioned Exterior Roof Blinds

Running directly over glazing of any inclination and size including rooflights, atriums, glass verandas and conservatory roofs, our exterior tensioned roof blinds are the most effective way to control solar heat gain and light levels, contributing to the cooling of rooms and providing sufficient glare protection.

Our tensioned external roof blinds work on a simple principle; fabric is wound round a rigid galvanised steel fabric barrel contained within the cassette headbox and connected to the lead rail, which runs on lateral guides to each side guaranteeing a smooth and square functionning. Hi-tech dyeema cables concealed within the lateral guides attach to the lead rail and are tensioned via integral gas pistons or a double coiled spring (dependent on system). When the motor, built within the fabric barrel is operated and the blind extends / retracts, this tensioning system keeps the fabric taut at every position and allows the blind to be operated at any angle.

The cassette headbox, which protects the fabric and operating mechanism from all types of inclement weather when the blind is retracted, is supported via the lateral guides, meaning only the lateral guides have to be fixed. A range of support brackets are available to allow installation of the lateral guides to all types of structures and to overcome opening roof vents and obstructions.

The fabric on our exterior roof blinds sits close to the glazing, minimising the chance of any light or heat creeping in through the sides, whilst allowing any heat build up between the fabric and glazing to be dissipated from air blowing through.

ENERGY SAVING

Reduce Energy, Save Money, Cut Emissions. By insulating the transparent parts of buildings, our exterior solar shading solutions reduce the energy demand on the installed cooling and heating units, resulting in lower energy bills and CO2 emissions.

NEW. OUTDOOR LIVING POD

The Outdoor Living Pod meets the need for even greater use of the outdoor area. Designed to offer sun, wind and rain protection, the Outdoor Living Pod is a modular system that can be joined together to cover areas of all shapes and sizes. The Outdoor Living Pod is the first outdoor living room that can truly be used all year round.
