Window coverings

Many solutions

Window coverings are a long list of various solutions that achieve the same goals in different ways and to varying degrees. These include:

• controlling the amount of heat entering the building;

• controlling the amount of light coming in;

• reducing outside noise;

• protection of windows against weather conditions;

• protecting household members from intruders.

Choosing window coverings means additional possibilities and improving all the functional parameters of windows. It is also an element of the aesthetics of the facade, which can beautify houses, apartments and public buildings.

Take control of your light

Light, energy from the sun, carries valuable heat, but there can be too much of it, making it difficult to work indoors. Temperatures that are too high can also be problematic. Using window coverings will easily eliminate this type of inconvenience.

Installing roller blinds, shutters or venetian blinds, as well as using internal shutters, will effectively block excess light from reaching the interior. Importantly, you can always fully control how much light is blocked and how much enters the interior.

Such control can be manual, automatic or even fully autonomous. Manual control is the simplest and involves mechanical control of the window blinds or shutters.

Automatic control is based on automation in the form of motors that drive roller shutters or set façade blinds in the desired position. This is usually done with a switch by the window, but increasingly it is possible to control automation using a telephone.

The most modern systems use smart home solutions, in which sets of sensors assess how much energy enters the interior and then independently change the settings of window coverings.

Window coverings will ensure a peaceful night

At night, window coverings can completely cut off household members from everything that happens outside the building. Day and night blinds make this possible. This is especially important in cities, where there are many distracting elements.

A completely closed roller blind or venetian blind can create a complete barrier for light and effectively block out sound. Human activity, street lights, car traffic - all of this will cease to affect the peace of people resting inside.

In the morning, the programmed blind can raise on its own, waking up the household members with natural sunlight.

Additional protection for your windows and home

By using window coverings you can provide your home with additional protection from both natural factors and unwanted guests.

Even the simplest facade blinds that do not have any special reinforcements are a barrier to light, wind and rain. All these factors affect the acceleration of wear and tear, for example, as a result of fading of their paint coating. Each window protected by a window cover will serve longer.

In turn, adaptive roller shutters and external flush-mounted roller shutters are able to prove themselves with formal anti-burglary properties. Such roller shutters and blinds can have a solid RC2 or even RC3 burglary resistance class, which for home conditions is already a step towards building a real home fortress.

What's more, the mere presence of this type of security is an element that reduces the risk of burglary. This is because criminals avoid secured buildings and usually go to places where breaking into the interior will be much easier.

Solutions for houses under construction and finished buildings

It is easiest to install flush-mounted or top-mounted roller shutters when the building is still under construction. Then the window coverings are in place at the stage of creating insulation and it requires the least work. However, there is nothing to prevent the finished building from also receiving appropriate protection.

There are many possibilities here, and you can use, for example, adaptive blinds or shutters that do not require direct interference with the wall. There are also types of blinds that fulfill a similar task.

The customer can of course install all types of window coverings in finished buildings, including solutions such as screen blinds, lintel blinds or internal blinds.

Window coverings in the interior

MS Holland Kozijnen is primarily associated with window coverings mounted on the outside of the window, directly on the window, in the window opening in the insulation layer or directly on the facade. These are the most commonly used options from the company's catalog, but not the only ones. You can also choose internal shutters, which will appear in the rooms, on the inside of the window.

This is currently a very fashionable solution, chosen mainly due to its unique aesthetic attributes. Nevertheless, it provides all the advantages of typical external solutions except for the issue of home security and the windows themselves. It is also important that there is no need to interfere with the wall or the structure of the window systems.
