SkyTwin Flush-Mounted Roller Shutter

SkyTwin is the first solution on the market combining an external roller shutter and a screentype sunshade in a single product. This innovative integration results in a compact high-tech system that offers excellent thermal insulation year-round, leading to significant savings in heating and cooling costs.

SkyTwin is the result of the careful work of a team of engineers who focused on creating a product that not only meets the expectations of demanding investors, but also proves to be an interesting alternative for sunshade manufacturers. Taking into account the fact that space saving, cost optimisation and fast assembly are now of great importance to manufacturing companies, many of the components common to external roller shutters and screens previously offered by Aluprof were used.

Due to the use of a ZIP screen, the product can also function as an insect screen, protecting interiors from insects.

The control in SkyTwin systems has been fully automated. It is possible to use Aluprof’s motors from AM, DM series and dedicated Elero and Somfy drives, which are available in versions: with mechanical or electronic limit switches, with radio receiver as well as with detection of obstacles. Depending on project requirements, they can be operated individually, centrally, in groups or with dedicated solar or wind sensors.

Due to their reflective, transmissive, permeable and absorptive properties, the specialized fabrics used in screens inhibit the formation of the greenhouse effect inside the room, which helps to maintain a constant, comfortable temperature while providing good visibility to the outside. An important element is the choice of the appropriate degree of fabric opening, which is determined by the Of factor. It determines the number of openings per 1 m² of fabric, thus indicating its translucency. The greater the number of openings, the greater the light transmission into the room. This is particularly important when installing screens in office buildings, where it is necessary to guarantee access to visible light and thus adequate optical comfort.
