SKT OPOTERM is a very versatile product designed primarily for installation in newly constructed buildings (mainly property development) or when replacing window frames. This system belongs to the family of overhead shutters, the installation of which consists in direct mounting of the box on the window frame by means of a suitably selected adaptive profile, compatible with the profile of the window frame. The roller shutter box is made of high-quality PVC components, and its interior has been additionally insulated, thus increasing thermal insulation, which has been confirmed by tests carried out at the IFT ROSENHEIM Institute. Tests were carried out for boxes using EPS (Neopor) insulating material based on current standards and calculation methods. Very good parameters were obtained, e.g. the SKT 230/170 box with integrated mosquito net achieved a coefficient of Usb=0.73 W/(m²K), which is important while retaining the high winding capacity of the system, which makes it possible to shade larger glazings.
SKT OPOTERM is a versatile product, enabling installation without, with partial or full covering, as the front of the box is at the same time the base for any finishing material (e.g. polystyrene, plaster, clinker, etc.), thanks to which it remains an unnoticeable element of the façade. The well-thought-out design of the system makes it possible to manufacture a single roller shutter or a set of roller shutters in a single box. The system is also available with narrow guides made of extruded aluminium for maxi and mini profiles, which enable additional insulation of the frame, minimising heat loss. The roller blind curtain can be made using profiles with polyurethane foam or PVC profiles. The roller blind design additionally allows integration with a mosquito net, which guarantees effective protection against insects.
The SP-E incorporated systems are intended for use primarily in newly constructed buildings, but also in existing buildings after the necessary changes have been made to the lintel. It is important to plan the use of such solutions and the way in which they are to be installed as early as the building design stage, so that their functional qualities can be used more effectively. SP-E systems provide excellent thermal insulation, as they do not interfere with the structure of the window, door or lintel, without affecting the energy balance. What is more, these products blend in perfectly with the façade of the building, forming an integral part of it. At the same time, the front of the roller shutter box forms a base for any finishing material (e.g. plaster), so that the box becomes an unobtrusive element of the building façade.
The structural elements, i.e. the inspection cover and guides, can be colour-matched to the window joinery. As with adaptive systems, the roller shutter curtain can be foam-filled, plastic or extruded profiles. Roller shutters in flush-mounted systems can be fitted with an insect screen, which provides effective protection against insects while maintaining the flow of light and fresh air to the interior.
