Whether individually individualized or in the modern version
made of aluminum: window shutters not only adorn the facade of the house, but
are also practical, but they protect against burglary and weather. The choice
of shapes and colors is versatile.
Both in style and in the renovation of an old building, as
well as in the new architecture, window blinds are often used as a design
element. No wonder: window shutters not only adorn the façade, but also offer
protection against unwanted insights, weather influences and burglars. An
advantage over roller shutter systems: Window shutters do not have to be
integrated into the masonry. Thus, no thermal bridges can occur.
Window blinds:
Various variants as required
Windows shutters are available in different designs
depending on the requirements. In order to be able to ventilate when the load
is closed and the light comes into the living space, louvre blinds are often
used. Within the framework of the window shutters, horizontal openings are
integrated, which can also be adjusted for some models. In casings, on the
other hand, the entire wing of the window sill is filled without opening - in
rural areas, this variant is often encountered with ornate decorations. Another
rural-romantic appearance is boards, which today are mainly used for old
buildings, stables and barns. The wing structure is made of simple boards and
is usually stiffened with transverse strips.
Folding, positioning
and sliding doors
Window shutters also differ according to the way in which
they are opened. Folding shutters are most frequently used: Two loading leaves
are installed on the outside of the window next to the window. In the open
state, they are attached to the outer wall with a hook. A further variant are
control panels. These are conventional folding shutters, in the lower half of
which an opening is installed. Thus, in spite of the heat-protecting store can
be aired or seen from the window. In the case of new buildings, on the other hand,
sliders are used. Here, the folding function is omitted: sliders run in rails
to the side of the window - along the wall of the house. Your advantage: In
strong winds, they can not cause any damage, in contrast to unsecured folding
window sheds. If you want to equip a large window front with window shutters
for which folding doors are suitable. By means of several fold-out elements,
they can cover the entire width. In the closed state, the folded package is
pushed alongside the window surface to save space. Also available: decorative
shelves; they do not fulfill any further function besides the optics.
Design and operation
Whether as a table-top or modern aluminum, window shutters
are available in a variety of variants. Since the shops are constantly exposed
to the weather, it is necessary to regularly clean and maintain the wood.
Despite the relatively high expenditure, the decision is often deliberately in
favor of wood: the traditional character and the environmentally friendly
extraction of the renewable raw material are decisive. In addition, wood is
particularly suitable as a protection against summer heat, since the natural
raw material conducts only little heat. The use of window shutters made of
aluminum or plastic, which is particularly suitable for new buildings, is less
necessary. In addition to the low maintenance costs, the wide selection of
modern designs speaks in every color and form.
Whether wood, plastic or aluminum: anyone who has shops
knows the cost of difficult to access windows. However, there is also a
solution for this: electric shop openers, some even solar panels, allow
convenient opening and closing without bending out of the window. A subsequent
attachment is also possible.
