heroal roller shutter: where it is the wrong buy
Updated

Integrated boxes want a lintel and a frame designed for them. Forcing a heroal stack onto a tired opening is how reveals get butchered.
The limit
Integrated boxes want a lintel and a frame designed for them. Forcing a heroal stack onto a tired opening is how reveals get butchered. Confirm who commissions the motor.
A pure retrofit on sound existing windows, and any brief that is really a security rating rather than an architectural system.
A worked opening beside heroal roller shutter
The worked opening for heroal roller shutter: where it is the wrong buy is 4.2 m wide by 2.35 m high, 9.87 square metres of glass. This figure puts 645 watts per square metre on the pane and uses a g-value of 0.7, about 4456 watts into the room if the curtain is up. An opaque external shutter, taken as stopping 85 percent of that gain while it is fully down, leaves about 668 watts and keeps about 3788 watts out. That is a noon figure for comparison. An internal blind does not get the same reduction. For heroal roller shutter: where it is the wrong buy, use the noon figure to compare two openings on the same house, then let a measured survey replace the figure.
Fitted illustration for heroal roller shutter: where it is the wrong buy: £6,028 at September 2026 prices, for this 4.2 by 2.35 m opening with a wired motor.

Winter still applies

How to use the figure
