Rafshtory: outdoor fire Outdoor blinds on windows

Rafshtory or blinds to the street - it is a means of protection from the sun's rays, further provides a cool room. It works on the same principle as conventional blinds. The main feature - devices are installed outside of the window. When there is no demand for them, the curtains are easily assembled in the roll box. Is controlled with the remote.

The main material is aluminum, used to make special lamella. Turning them, the user can change the light level inside the room. Lamellas have convexo-concave shape that prevents deformation and increases its resistance to mechanical stress. The unusual shape also provides an opportunity to redistribute the light of day.

Additional information: rafshtory easy to install, not only during the construction of buildings, but also in active operation.

Classification

several types of exterior roller blinds can be identified. They differ in the form of slats: flat, C and Z-shaped. The last most often taken for assembly blackout rafshtor.

The following classes still exist:

• with dual controls;
• equipped with a variety of electronic systems, sensors;
• unsymmetrical design, intended for openings of irregular shape.

What are the blinds

Rafshtory allow to solve the following tasks:

• Savings conditioning because solar rays reflected by the slats, preventing heating glass. While in the "shadow area" space becomes cooler to 7 degrees Celsius.
• Aesthetically make any more attractive facade. Appearance is perfect for any style of fronts: for old and new buildings.
• The closed state is almost completely deprived of light the room, which is an excellent alternative to need blackout curtains.
• Turns slats allow you to adjust flow of sunlight, which creates the effect of "distraction." Especially comfortable feature windows seem to owners on the south side of the building.

Additional Info: roller blinds are used for all rooms. Often they are installed as office buildings, and on homes.

Another problem to be solved with the help of rafshtor - security, because an outsider is difficult to penetrate into the building through a window. Also, there are special designs similar to protect against fire. But work such curtains different principle. It needs to be considered in more detail.

Blinds fire

Fireproof rafshtory installed inside and outside the building. Their use is now much more frequent than the use of standard fire doors and hatches. Often, due to the fact that the fire-resistant doors and hatches are made of normalized size, while the curtains do not have such restrictions.

When choosing and buying is important to remember the following points:

• The materials used for manufacturing must be non-flammable. Often, the manufacturer takes the heat-resistant fabrics made of reinforced metal thread. Additional resistance is provided by applying a heat reflective material.
• There are 3 degrees of fire resistance fire protection roller blinds: EI 60, the EI 120, the EI 180, where I - is the time that "fabric" maintains fire-resistant ability, and E - the integrity of the web. Each of them is capable of holding a flame propagation to other premises such as a number of minutes, the figures here.

Additional information: Do not confuse the fire-retardant and smoke curtains, because the past will not be able to keep the fire within a room.

• When choosing between fire doors and curtains need to be taken into account and the decorative aspect. The advantage of such "blinds" - the absence of fire, they are wound onto the shaft, and therefore do not stand out from the general picture of the interior.
• If the outer coating consists of a sunscreen slats, the roller is made of fire curtains continuous sheet.
  

  Cloth and curtains composed of a durable flame-resistant material

• There are two varieties of data items: using water spray equipment and without. The first variant assumes the presence of additional water curtain, providing protection against smoke, fire. Closing automatically.
• Installation is made not only on the openings between rooms, but also in front of the elevators, staircases and so on.
  

  Fire curtain on the stairs leading to the basement

• Made model width from 8 to 40 meters, which allows for the isolation of the fire room, separated by large size gate arches. Important for warehouse space.

Additional information: at present there is no adequate regulatory framework for the production of fireproof curtains. So before you buy should be familiar with the documents of GOST, which describe the test method standards on tightness of smoke, gas and flame.

Roller blinds on front window

This type is called the windows overlap refleksoli. Special fabrics made of a continuous sheet, wound on the spool shaft. Fabrics are highly resistant to weathering. Most commonly used polyester and polyvinyl chloride. These products also provide protection from the wind.

Additional information: There are mosquito models are made from special fabrics. Most often they are used on the terraces and summer areas in the cafeterias.

Manual operation is possible with a special lever, and automatically. You can still use the remote control. For this purpose, the construction necessary to establish an electronic system winding the fabric onto the shaft. Modern technologies allow the system to operate quietly so as not to cause discomfort to people in indoor or terrace.

use conditions are more severe than for the similar structures indoors - frame is made of high-strength materials. For example, aluminum, which provides protection against weather conditions.

Maintenance tasks involve certain features:

• Wind with a speed of more than 10 meters per second, may harm the construction, so it is recommended install a sensor on which a roll signal will curl under strong wind stream.
• Mechanisms can do without lubrication, but if there are vibrations, then as a lubricant must be used grease.
• Purification should occur with the use of only synthetic detergent compositions, and can not be abrasive analogs.
• When the temperature falls below zero, it is necessary to periodically check whether primerzli not part of the structure to each other. Otherwise, when you try to start the mechanism in action, breakage can occur.

Additional information: often blinds production time is calculated individually for each customer. It can vary from 14 to 60 days.

Set Rollets curtains

Roller blinds, curtain - universal and setting it is possible to virtually any type of surface. Most often, the installation occurs on the plastic window frames. It is worth remembering that it is necessary to use fasteners having a high degree of strength and resistance to corrosion and other weather factors. If we ignore this parameter, the performance of the design is seriously reduced.

List of required for proper fastener elements:

• holders;
• locks;
• brackets;
• staples;
• fasteners.

To install the brackets, braces, you need to drill holes in the surface. Therefore it is recommended to prepare in advance the necessary tools: a drill and appropriate drill. To attach the box to the window or facade using clamps, brackets, is recommended as the fastening elements to take hidden screws without thread. Thus, the appearance of the building will not be spoiled.

When the fastening elements are installed, they should hang cornice, and then install a roll with lamellae or "fabric". Reliable hands to perform this work for 20-40 minutes.

rafshtor design consists of the following elements:

• box where there is a control mechanism (may be an electronic);
• protection device protects the previous list item from weather, rust;
• slats (depending on the model, their width can be 5 to 10 centimeters);
• guide elements vertically aligning the side (task - guide slats up and down);
• thread serving as a hoist (it can replace a special lifting mechanism);
  last lamella or the bottom bracket (used for installing the guide elements).

Additional information: installation rafshtor most trusted experts from the company of the supplier or manufacturer. This is done in order to ensure the highest quality installation work, as even one mistake can lead to operational problems in the future.

Modern technologies allow to provide design rafshtor electronic sensors that react to sunlight, wind, high humidity. Also, if the company provides such services, it can be programmed to a certain angle of inclination at the appropriate time of the day. Installation of such complicated structures actually better left to professionals.

Additional information: buying clamps, brackets, be sure to ask their fastening ability. Equally important is the ability to control tolerances in the size of the main elements.

Technology today provides sufficient protection of buildings, interior rooms, attics, terraces with the help of high-quality roller blinds. The materials used for the manufacture do not allow atmospheric phenomena disturb people inside buildings. Shutters attached to a window or wall from the front side, - a new solution with excess sunlight problems.
