In the upper part of the rashtora, a special box is installed in which the lamellas are placed when lifting.

Materials for production

Для производства надежных рафштор используются материалы, отличающиеся прочностью и стойкостью к внешнему воздействию. Металлические внешние жалюзи изготавливаются из оцинкованной или нержавеющей стали и алюминия. Конструкции из стали обеспечивают высокую степень защиты от взлома, они массивны и имеют существенный вес, поэтому устанавливаются только на первом этаже. Aluminum жалюзи отличаются стойкостью к влаге и перемене температуры, они легкие и прочные, не подвергаются деформации и рассчитаны на долгий срок эксплуатации. Стильный дизайн и разнообразие цветовых вариантов позволяют оригинально оформить фасад здания. Aluminum сплавы не боятся воздействия коррозии, не горят. Благодаря безопасности, их использование рекомендовано для жилых домов, медицинских и детских учреждений.

Недорогие и практичные наружные жалюзи из пластика (ПВХ) имеют декоративную функцию и защищают от солнца. Такой материал не станет эффективной защитой от взлома. Полимерные конструкции отличаются влагостойкостью, они предохраняют оконные рамы и стекла от загрязнения, являются дополнительным барьером от холода. Срок их использования меньше, чем у металлических аналогов, но цена более доступна. Plastic рафшторы легкие и аккуратные, их используют в квартирах, офисах, учреждениях.

Note! Seasonal outdoor blinds are made of bamboo and fabric, they are not designed for year-round operation and difficult weather conditions. The constructions are removed in the autumn-winter period and are used for sun protection in the warm season.

Wooden blinds have an attractive appearance and become a decoration of the exterior of the building, to increase the service life and protection from moisture, they are covered with special compounds and varnish.

Control methods

The movement of the horizontal lamellae is carried out along guides located on both sides. To raise or lower the blinds, roll up and hide in a box, use manual control or electric drive. With manual adjustment, a cord or a knob is installed, with which all operations are carried out with the roller sweaters.

The electric drive has indisputable advantages, it does not require leaving the room to adjust the external blinds. Control is carried out by a switch or remote control. Automatic adjustments do not require the presence of a person, special programs adjust the degree of illumination at a specified time. Intelligent systems are characterized by the presence of precipitation and temperature sensors, built-in timer. Such blinds are expensive, but provide full comfort of living.

Design flaws:

• The possibility of icing mechanism in the winter, the ingress of debris that will prevent the movement of the lamellae. In order for the product to maintain its good condition, timely care and cleaning is necessary.
• The implementation of care from the outside of the building is difficult when placing blinds on the upper floors.

External blinds - effective protection from the bright sun, heat or winter cold, they will prolong the life of the window construction and protect the building from the penetration of outsiders.
