Maximum flexibility

heroal offers external sun protection for a wide range of installation situations – from windows and façades to challenging corner solutions. Large formats up to 18 m², effective UV protection and integration into existing façade systems enable functional, easy-to-install solutions for individual project requirements.

Design freedom for individual requirements

Over 250 fabric variants and colour-matched aluminium components in RAL colours, designer finishes or Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier® enable harmonious coordination of sun protection and building envelope. Different blind boxes, discreet guide rails and flexibly combinable end slats ensure maximum design freedom and precise integration.

Efficient processing, installation and maintenance

heroal sun protection systems can be installed quickly and flexibly. The choice between system products, kits, textile assemblies or prefabricated elements enables efficient and agile production processes. Identical parts and well-thought-out design details reduce storage costs and speed up processes – ideal for cost-effective processing.

Your advantages with heroal systems

Sun protection for corner areas

The heroal VS Z corner solution offers effective sun protection for all-glass corners – with two separately controllable screens and zip guides on the outside, as well as a shared stainless steel cable guide in the corner area. The solution can be installed flexibly and ensures high functionality in architecturally demanding applications.

Flexible installation solutions

heroal offers two extruded blind box systems for its sun protection systems. The heroal FME front-mounted box system is mounted on the masonry or in the reveal and is available in various designs with 20°, 45° or 90° angles or as a semi-circular version – for flexible installation solutions and a high-quality appearance.

End slats for perfect fabric tension

For optimum fabric tension, heroal offers three types of end slats made from extruded aluminium. Depending on the size of the element, type I, II or III is used – type III is particularly suitable for narrow or wide systems thanks to additional weighting elements. Types II and III have identical visible heights, enabling flexible, uniform integration.

Easy installation for every situation

heroal sun protection systems can be installed flexibly – on the wall, in the window, in the reveal, in the lintel or in front of the façade. The simple system design, tool-free dismantling aids and compact winding diameters enable quick installation, easy maintenance and use even in confined spaces.

Simple clamp mounting

The heroal VS Z EM sun protection system can be installed without drilling and removed without leaving any residue – ideal for retrofitting, rental properties or listed buildings. The integrated solar drive eliminates the need for an external power supply. Various clamp holders allow flexible use on almost all common window types.

Ready to install for maximum flexibility

The heroal VS Z textile assembly is designed as a pre-assembled system solution for maximum efficiency. It includes a custom-made fabric, a cut-to-size fabric roller, an integrated motor of your choice, a pre-assembled type III end bar and all necessary accessories. The ready-to-install delivery enables quick, trade-independent plug-and-play installation in existing boxes.

Integration into PVC add-on boxes

The heroal VS Z textile assembly enables the integration of textile sun protection into PVC add-on box systems from Exte and Veka for the first time. Suitable mounting brackets allow for easy installation in the Exte Exakt, Expert, Elite and Neo add-on boxes, VEKAVARIANT 2.0 and the VEKAVARIANT EPS add-on insulation box.

Zip Screen System

System products can be ordered for the entire heroal product portfolio. The profiles are supplied in lengths and all processing is carried out by the fabricator.
