R+T Innovation Award 2021 – winners

The SolarBox roller shutters, which also run on solar power, are the newest Winsol Innovation. This built-on system is perfect for renovations thanks to the quick installation and the fact that they are fully sustainable, due to the 2 integrated solar panels. Similar to the SolarFix screens, these roller shutters are available with 4 finishes: Standard Symmetrical, Standard Asymmetrical, Black Belt (with a black band between the solar panels) and Colour (tinted solar panels). As an option, you can choose XSmax-technology, which provides 40 cm of extra roll-up capacity. Thanks to the powerful 4 Ah battery with its high storage capacity, you can use your SolarBox shutter all year long!

With the Oslo Venetian blind collection, Innovation Award winner KADECO is bringing design felt to the window for the first time and exclusively - all in the spirit of Scandinavian interior influences. The Jalousie from silk-soft polyester material inspires by its natural radiant emittance and its particularly affectionate haptics. It captivates with its naturalness. The traditional look of the material is reminiscent of real natural felt and is underlined by the fine melange effects in restrained color nuances. . The blind made of design felt also convinces in stability and positive influence on room acoustics. It is absolutely easy to clean - by simply vacuuming the slat can be easily cleaned. The Oslo collection includes four colors: a dark anthracite, a stone gray, a delicate light gray and a light beige.

The new generation of tubular motors goes from standard motors up to electronic motors with integrated radio and Wifi receiver for window shutters and awnings.

It fits in almost all windows, can be retrofitted very easily and is therefore ideal for existing properties, rental apartments and listed buildings. Installation takes place from the inside, without scaffolding or cable work.

Award-winning sustainability and design for roller grilles

Until now, the rule has been: roller grilles for doors are functional and they are made of metal. With the newly developed Greonik roller grille, the German Meißner Toranlagen GmbH is breaking new ground.

With its diamond-shaped openings, Greonik (Green - Bionik) looks like a classic roller grille. However, the elements are made of 100% recycled material. Thus the idea of sustainability is consistently pursued.

The individual openings can be closed with inlays. In this way, the same roller grille can be upgraded with protection against martens, with design elements or even become a roller shutter. With coloured elements and inlays, Greonik offers almost infinite design possibilities.

Greonik was awarded the R+T Innovation Prize in the category “doors” in 2021.

FACE AUTOMATIONS HAVE BECOME: BATTERY FREE 

First off the mark once again, we've designed a new range of devices for automatic opening in the event of a power failure, using SUPERCAPACITOR technology, in place of the old devices with LEAD BATTERIES used in both redundant sliding automations and standard ones. 

It's clear that by using FACE SUPERCAPACITOR technology, we're making a significant tangible contribution to the protection of the environment and at the same time obtaining enormous savings on maintenance costs.  

The SUPERCAPACITORS in fact have a lifespan 6.7 times longer than that of BATTERIES 

SUPERCAPACITORS=20 years      BATTERIES=3 years

Neher Transpatec now with anti-soiling function 

Neher's Transpatec insect screen fabric has been sold millions of times in recent years. The advantages of this product "Made in Germany" are obvious: it is almost invisible, maximally air-permeable as well as extremely stable and durable. The patented weaving technology also ensures high cross-point strength. With the new water-based anti-soiling coating, it is now also practically self-cleaning. Thanks to its environmentally friendly production and materials, Transpatec even meets the criteria of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for products that come into contact with the skin. Neher offers the new fabric with these additional functions at the same price as the previous Transpatec.  

As increased traffic and urban consolidation lead to increased noise, sound insulation is gaining in importance for urban construction projects. Warema’s completely redesigned box for top-mounted external venetian blinds for new buildings guarantees significant improvements in noise insulation. The aligned layer structure of the sound-optimised box reduces external noise levels by almost 47 decibels. This solution – which is to become standard in the future – meets increased sound insulation requirements and enables users to relax at home and work in peace. At the same time, the thermal insulation parameters of the product remain unchanged. The new functional principle includes a fully integrated sound insulation package in the scope of delivery, making planning and installation no different from previous models.
