The versatile four-sided heroal VS Z is an innovative and energy-efficient zip screen system. It comes ready for individual use as well as for use in medium and large-scale commercial construction and designed for use in schools, offices and residential buildings in particular.

The heroal VS Z consists of a translucent mesh, which is installed in front of the window. By reflecting sunlight, the system enables a reduction in solar radiation of up to 75%, while still allowing daylight to penetrate. In this way the system ensures a pleasant indoor climate on hot days and enables control of the room's atmosphere. At the same time the heroal VS Z guarantees optimum glare, privacy and heat protection.

The sun protection system creates savings on cooling and heating costs, as heat emission as well as retention is reduced. At the same time, UV rays are filtered by up to 98%.

Further system advantages

• Shaded areas of up to 6 m wide with a 15 square metre area are possible
• Particularly weather resistant and low-maintenance
• Material is guided using a zip attached to the fabric
• Electronically motorised drive
• Blind controlled wirelessly or with manual button
• Optional installation of obstacle detection

Innovative, future-oriented window systems demand the highest quality with minimal energy and material consumption during manufacture and maximum efficiency for energy and costs throughout the lifetime of a product. To ensure the unique level of heroal quality, it has always been our policy to carry out the key production steps in our own factories, applying our own expertise. heroal has developed an innovative system solution for durable aluminium windows in line with this guiding principle, which is setting new standards – heroal W 72.

heroal C 50 GD is a design study which represents a true highlight when it comes to curtain walls. The concept benefits from the idea of reflection in two ways: the view width of the mullion is visually reduced on the inside while the installation depth of the mullion is decreased on the outside. This effect is possible thanks to the use of a glass fin which takes on the static tasks of the traditional aluminium mullion. Architects and planners gain access to a world of new possibilities for creating maximum transparency – even on large surface areas up to a height of 5 metres. Almost limitless design choices are created by the optional lighting of the glass fin with LED, the design of the fin with individually decorated panels, the coating of the aluminium components with especially durable and highly weather-resistant heroal hwr powder coating in all RAL colour shades, the colours of Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier and heroal SD surface finishing.

The heroal C 50 HI curtain wall system achieves the standard required for a passive house with standard triple-glazed insulating glass. This enables sustainable façade concepts with outstanding energy efficiency. Special details in the construction of the system ensure quick, reliable and economical assembly.

The innovative concept for heat insulation with foam-filled insulators and adapted insulator damping, and the continuous seal characterise this system.

heroal S 77 SL opens up new large dimensions and guarantees maximum transparency with its unique innovative frame construction. The new generation of heroal lifting-sliding doors combines a movable monorail casement with fixed frame glazing and minimal view widths. This large frameless glazing with clean lines forms an almost invisible link between the inside and outside, extending the living space beyond its actual limits. The heroal S 77 SL lifting-sliding system is a new architectural design element that creates a new sense of space.

The heroal S 77 SL lifting-sliding system creates a harmonised balance between contemporary design, maximum comfort and consistent functionality. Thanks to its elegant and modular construction details, the heroal S 77 SL has unlimited uses in new buildings and renovations.

Additionally, the insulating variant heroal S 77 SL/CC provides for an improved heat insulation due to the optimised design of the central joint, the typical weak point in the insulation of any lifting sliding door. This optimisation creates a comfortable climate in the living spaces.

To implement accessible thresholds properly in the area of door elements while offering protection from moisture damage indoors, particular measures need to be taken. One reliable solution is the use of a drainage system that discharges surface water without any back-up. When choosing the correct drainage system, in addition to the expected amount of rainfall, the finish of the exterior surface is an important consideration in planning the necessary removal of surface water for smooth water discharge.

The new, innovative heroal DS drainage system provides building developers, planners and architects with planning security, versatility and cross-trade system solutions.

• Solutions for all openings with large surface areas in the entrance door, French door and lifting-sliding door system product sectors
• heroal systems can be combined in many ways, ensuring planning security
• Effortless integration of structures in both new builds and renovations
• Surface water is drained without any back-up
• Drainage performance of approx. 200 l/m as per DN 50 standard
• Feet can be positioned as required for isolated loads of up to 1.5 t
• High-grade steel cover in various design options

The heroal Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier front door consistently combines the best materials, the highest functionality and maximum flexibility with the unique Le Corbusier color spectrum. In each version, the door infill panel offers a high degree of security with resistance class RC 2 in accordance with EN 1627. It has unlimited approval for burglar-resistant doors in the heroal D 72 profile system.

The CE-certified fire protection system heroal D 93 FP offers planners, architects and fabricators a system solution for inside and outside use in commercial and residential construction. The filled system meets the classification El 30 and has a design depth of 93 mm. It can immediately be further processed; there is no need for additional preparations of the profile system. The higher classification classes El 60 and El 90 can be met by just a few additional steps. Thanks to the supply within a certified standard manufacturing network, the low profile weights, the clamp-on fitting options and the easy processing without the need for special tools, the manufacturing times for fabricators are significantly reduced. The system is rounded off by heroal’s hwr powder coating, its harmonious design, U-values meeting the requirements of the EnEV, the German Energy Conservation Ordinance, and installation variants offering full accessibility.
