Rollläden

Rollläden, also known as roller shutters or rolling shutters, are window coverings consisting of a series of slats that coil around a roller at the top of a window or door opening. They are typically made of aluminum, PVC, or wood, and are designed to provide security, insulation, and light control.

Rollläden can be operated manually, often via a strap or crank, or electronically with a remote control or integrated smart home system. When lowered, they form a protective barrier against weather elements such as sun, rain, wind, and hail. They can also deter burglars by making it more difficult to access a building.

The insulating properties of Rollläden contribute to energy efficiency. They can help keep interiors cooler in the summer by blocking direct sunlight and warmer in the winter by creating an additional layer of insulation against heat loss. This can lead to reduced heating and cooling costs.

In addition to security and insulation, Rollläden offer effective light control. They can completely block out light, creating a dark environment for sleeping or preventing glare on screens, or be partially raised to allow diffused light. The slats can often be angled to adjust the amount of light and ventilation entering a room.

Rollläden are a common feature in many European countries and are also found in other regions. Their durability and versatility make them a practical choice for a variety of residential and commercial applications.
