Tip of the Week: Screen Roller Shutters Allow Ventilation Even When Pulled Down

Tip of the Week: Screen Roller Shutters Allow Ventilation Even When Pulled Down
When seeking a balance between pleasant light, fresh air, and heat protection, we often face compromises. We want to air the room without letting any insects in. We want light, but no glare. We want a view, but also privacy. And in these situations, a solution that combines functionality, aesthetics, and smart technology shows its true strength – screen roller shutters!

Compared to classic roller shutters or blinds, screen roller shutters function differently. They are made from a special industrial fabric that only allows as much light as needed. They therefore allow airing the room when pulled down because they do not completely seal the space, leaving the interior full of light, but protected from direct sunlight, heat, and inquisitive looks from outside.

This property is especially important during the summer, when inside air can become close and hot. Thanks to the screens, you can open the windows wide, while maintaining comfort and shade. In addition, you will no longer face the common problem that once you pull down traditional shutters or curtains, the room becomes completely dark. Screen roller shutters provide pleasant diffused light, and you can easily work, rest, or watch TV in the room without any disturbing glare.

The possibility of connecting the shutters to automatic systems and smart controls, such as Somfy, is another great benefit. This way, you do not need to pull the shutters up or down manually according to the level of sunshine. Somfy will do it for you. You can program scenarios based on the time of day, weather, or when you are home. Roller shutters will safely roll up in strong winds. They automatically pull down in the harsh afternoon sun, protecting the interior from overheating. But room airing continues as the windows remain open and there is shade, and the room temperature is stable.

If you consider installing screen roller shutters that allow airing the room even during hot days, we recommend selecting the variant with automatic controls. Combined with Somfy sensors, the shading system will react to the current weather automatically. It will pull the shutters down in harsh sun, and roll them up when the sky is overcast or according to the time of the day, maintaining a pleasant climate in the room without overheating even when the windows are open. And most importantly, everything works quietly, reliably, and without any effort on your part. This is comfort you will readily get used to.

In terms of aesthetics, screen roller shutters fit perfectly into modern architecture. Their design is clean, industrial, and they can be adapted to any type of building thanks to various versions of installation: such as under plaster, into a window frame, or to the façade. You can easily match the colour of the fabric and frame to the windows or façade. This is why they are favoured for both new and remodelled buildings.

Another undeniable advantage is their resistance to weather, UV radiation, and mechanical stress. The fabrics are durable, sized, and easy to maintain. Raindrops and dust usually do not stick to them, or you can easily rinse the shutters with water. This makes them a sustainable solution as regards functionality as well as aesthetics.
The key point, however, is that screen roller shutters do not limit, but rather expand the possibilities for working with space and light. They will allow you to air the rooms without compromises and maintain visual contact with your surroundings, while creating a pleasant micro-climate inside. Combined with smart solutions from Somfy, they work automatically and are worry-free.

Modern households should be smart, comfortable, and adjustable. And screen roller shutters meet all these requirements. Not only do they make your everyday life easier, but they also become discreet, yet key accessories that make your home a place where you can breathe easily and live well.
