In the case of retrofitted and visible blinds, it is usually best to have the installer anchor all the elements and holders to the window frame. This is because the window is always straight, strong and stable<\/strong>, so you can be sure that the blind and the cover sheet or box will hold without any problems.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\u201cWe can anchor into plastic, wooden or aluminium windows, depending on whether we use galvanised or stainless steel anchors. Some clients are afraid to drill into windows, but this is unwarranted\u2009\u2014\u2009the window is already factory-drilled for the fittings, so our intervention will not damage it,\u201d<\/em> says the managing director of RENESUN \u017daluzie<\/a>, Ren\u00e9 B\u00fdma, who has been installing external blinds<\/a> for 20 years and has not yet encountered any problems with insulation caused by anchoring into the window. Just count on the fact that the window frame surface will be disturbed and if you want to remove the blinds in the future, for example, you will be left with holes in the frame that are harder to fix than holes in the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
The cover plate and the blinds are always placed inside the window opening<\/strong>when anchored to the window. You should therefore expect to reduce the window clearance from the top by approx. 20\u2009\u2013\u200930 cm.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
If you would like to anchor the holders to the reveals (jambs), this is also possible. In this case, for example special anchors called \u201cTURBOLET\u201c<\/strong>are used, which also hold well in softer material. However, in the case of poorly made fa\u00e7ades, it may occur that the holders do not hold firmly enough, so anchoring into the windows should be considered. \u201cIn any case, the insulating properties of the fa\u00e7ade will not be compromised by this, it\u2019s a minimal intervention that has no effect,\u201d<\/em> says B\u00fdma.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
Another option is to place the external blinds above the reveal (and not inside the window opening). This is particularly useful if the window opening is shallow\u2009\u2014\u2009less than 13 cm deep\u2009\u2014\u2009and the sheet metal cover and the blind would not fit inside, or would protrude in front of the fa\u00e7ade. In this case, the cover and holders are anchored from the front side into the fa\u00e7ade.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
In this case, the cover box or sheet and the guide profiles are placed in front of the window opening and all elements are anchored to the fa\u00e7ade from the front. According to B\u00fdma, this is again not a problem and the insulation function of the fa\u00e7ade is not compromised. What is more important is that everything holds well, so it is advisable to drill through the fa\u00e7ade<\/strong> to the underlying masonry or lintel.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\u201cIf the customer is worried about drilling through the fa\u00e7ade, we can choose special anchors and wall plugs to break thermal bridges\u2009\u2014\u2009for example, TherMax,\u201d<\/em> adds B\u00fdma.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
For new buildings or when completely renovating a house including the fa\u00e7ade, it is best to install external blinds under the plaster, where no anchoring into the thermal insulation is needed at all<\/strong>. At NEVA we offer the ISO-KASTL<\/a> Purenit box for these cases, which is anchored on the rough construction (without the fa\u00e7ade) into the masonry above the window and then the fa\u00e7ade builders cover it with at least 2cm of insulation. Purenit itself insulates well. Similarly, for the side guide profiles, we manufacture ISO-PANEL<\/a>\u2009\u2014\u2009an insulating board that you anchor into the masonry with an L\u2011profile, the fa\u00e7ade builders fix it and then the company just pushes the guide rails into it when installing the blinds.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
In any case, anchoring external blinds into the fa\u00e7ade is not a major problem from an insulation point of view. What is more critical in this respect is the strength of the fa\u00e7ade<\/strong>\u2009\u2014\u2009how well the anchors hold in it. Therefore, in the case of a visible installation, ideally have everything anchored into the window frame or the front of the fa\u00e7ade so that the anchors reach the underlying masonry with a margin.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

When retrofitting external blinds, the holders and guide profiles are anchored to the window frame or thermal insulation. If everything is done correctly, this intervention will not affect the insulation function of the window or the fa\u00e7ade. For 100% certainty, you can also arrange with the contractor to use special anchors to break thermal bridges during anchoring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":17987,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice-and-instructions"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"author_meta":{"display_name":"Luk\u00e1\u0161 Musil","author_link":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/author\/musil\/"},"featured_img":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/NEVA-kotveni-venkovnich-zaluzii-do-zatepleni-1-300x150.jpg","coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["Advice and instructions<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Advice and instructions<\/span>"]}},"comment_count":"0","relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 2 years ago","modified":"Updated 2 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on 12. 12. 2022","modified":"Updated on 8. 2. 2023"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on 12. 12. 2022 9:31","modified":"Updated on 8. 2. 2023 7:40"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21210"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21235,"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21210\/revisions\/21235"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
