Custom-made roller shutters for renovation and new construction
Roller shutters for blackout, privacy, and extra living comfort
Roller shutters offer extra comfort all year round and are particularly suitable when you want to combine privacy, strong blackout capabilities, and protection against direct sunlight. VINCK supplies and installs custom-made roller shutters for renovation and new construction, ranging from traditional systems to modern external roller shutters. For new windows and doors , the roller shutter box, guides, operation, and window construction can be carefully coordinated from the design stage onwards, while external roller shutters are an interesting solution for equipping existing homes without a built-in roller shutter box with roller shutters. Furthermore, a closed roller shutter creates an extra layer of air in front of the window and can help keep solar heat out and limit heat loss through the window area. The final performance also depends on the quality of the glazing and the exterior joinery. For projects involving new aluminium windows , we consider the entire system to ensure that the colour, box, and guides blend seamlessly with the facade. If you prefer to retain daylight and an outside view during the day, compare roller shutters with screens and external sun protection . In our advice on screens versus roller shutters, we explain which solution best suits every room.
Electric roller shutters with Somfy and smart automation
Electric roller shutters make daily opening and closing easier and can be operated with a switch, remote control, or smart control. Depending on their construction and technical condition, existing roller shutters can also often be motorized. VINCK works with Somfy for roller shutter automation and can centrally control multiple compatible roller shutters or integrate them into a smart home solution. Through our webshop, you will find various automation products for roller shutters and screens , including Somfy io remote controls and TaHoma control. Individual roller shutter parts such as suspension springs and switches are also available online. Those who use roller shutters to limit summer heat achieve the best results when they close them in time before the sun heats the glass for an extended period; read more about this in how many degrees cooler a home can remain with exterior sun protection . In this way, a classic roller shutter evolves into a comfortable solution that combines blackout, privacy, sun protection, and automatic operation.

Traditional and external roller shutters professionally installed
The right choice depends on the home, the type of window, available space, desired operation, and how the roller shutter box can be integrated into the facade. For renovations, external roller shutters often offer a great deal of flexibility because the box and guides are installed on the outside, meaning an existing box does not necessarily have to be present. For new builds or new windows, roller shutters can be included in the project from the technical preparation phase onwards. VINCK ensures accurate measurements, professional installation, and correct adjustment of the box, guides, shutter blade, and operation. View our examples of installed roller shutters for inspiration and discover which items are available for maintenance, operation, and minor replacements via our page with maintenance products and parts for windows and roller shutters . This way, you choose not only a roller shutter that functions well today, but also a system that is practical to maintain and operate.
