Exterior roller blinds for retrofitting from MHZ

Brick house with MHZ SOLIX external blinds closed on upper floor windows.

Retrofitting made easy! The Solix made-to-measure exterior roller blind from MHZ is the ideal product for easily retrofitting high-quality privacy and sun protection onto existing properties since this textile sunshade fits almost all windows. Solix can be clamped into the window frame retrospectively from inside, with no need for scaffolding, no drilling required and no damage caused to the window or the facade.

All of which makes this made-to-measure product the perfect solution for rental properties or listed buildings. Once Solix is fitted, the electrically controlled exterior roller blind can darken windows while minimising how much heat or cold gets in. This MHZ exterior roller blind can also be combined with an insect screen for even greater comfort.

Exterior roller blinds for sun protection, glare protection and privacy protection

The exterior roller blind is able to shade the room by absorbing the sun’s rays before they even reach the window pane. This ensures that living and working spaces are kept at a suitable temperature and benefit from pleasing light – which is ideal for screen work as well. It keeps prying eyes out too, protecting your privacy. This is especially useful in ground floor apartments and heavily developed areas. Solix made-to-measure products are available in various fabrics with different transparency levels. So you can achieve a slight to total blackout effect, depending on your needs.

Exterior roller blinds with built-in insect screen

Solix is available with a built-in insect screen too. This custom-made combined solution from MHZ sits perfectly tightly and taut, guaranteeing effective protection from mosquitoes and pests.

Exterior roller blinds for sound insulation

Another benefit of exterior roller blinds is their ability to reduce the amount of noise getting in from outside. When closed, the blind absorbs the sound from the road or neighbouring buildings at the windows, helping to achieve a more peaceful home.

Exterior roller blinds for saving energy

One of the biggest benefits of made-to-measure exterior roller blinds is the way you can efficiently control the amount of heat and cold getting in through the window. Solix stops the majority of the sun’s rays before they even reach the window pane, preventing indoor spaces from heating up due to the sun. The innovative shading system ensures that up to 70% less heat can get in, achieving greater energy efficiency. And that will have a positive impact on your energy costs. In winter, the Solix exterior roller blind can minimise the amount of cold reaching the window pane and stop the room from cooling down. If the blind is used effectively, the room will stay warm, enabling you to make savings on heating costs.

Solix is the perfect cost-effective and low-maintenance thermal protection solution. Existing properties can be easily retrofitted with Solix without any need for any major investment or building work.

Retrofitted in a flash – installation and operation

Contemporary white house with MHZ SOLIX external blinds installed on several windows.

With its angle profile frame running around all sides, Solix is easy to insert into the window opening and secure in position using the corresponding locks. This process does not damage the window or the facade and removal is just as quick and easy, leaving no trace behind. Solix is powered by an electric radio drive with integrated battery and a charging socket in the room, so there is no need for cables or electrical work. The classic crank is not required for Solix either. MHZ also offers the option to operate the product via a solar panel – this exterior roller blind is just perfect for retrofitting.

Solix Fix – made-to-measure exterior roller blinds for fixed glazing

Thanks to its slim cassette, Solix Fix blends perfectly into the exterior facade. And due to the permanently integrated solar panel, the exterior roller blind can be powered by energy from the sun and operated easily by radio control.

Solix Fix is installed on the window frame directly or in the window reveal from the outside. With only two to six drill holes per guide rail, depending on the blind unit size, Solix Fix can be installed in no time at all. The quick installation frame and optional built-in insect screen mesh are not found in the Solix Fix. The blind can be installed with or without extension pieces.

What is the difference between exterior roller blinds, roller shutters, vertical awnings and exterior Venetian blinds?

Roller shutters

are the classic shading system for outside. They are able to stop all heat and light from getting into the room, and so are suitable for use as a blackout system too.

Exterior Venetian blinds

are a modern alternative to roller shutters. They offer a high level of privacy and sun protection. And you can control the amount of light coming in with precision by flexibly adjusting the angle of their slats.

Vertical awnings and exterior roller blinds

also provide great protection from sunlight and heat. The biggest difference is the material – vertical awnings and exterior roller blinds are made from weather-resistant fabrics with varying levels of transparency and textures, depending on the textile characteristics of the material in question. You can also choose from a wider range of colours, allowing you to perfectly match your sun protection product to the look of your facade.

The Solix exterior roller

The Solix exterior roller blind can be installed quickly and easily from inside, with no drilling or screwing. An awning is another type of external sun protection, which is primarily used on patios. Unlike all the other products mentioned here, awnings are extended and retracted horizontally rather than vertically.
