Front-mounted roller shutters with integrated fly screen

Especially in the summer months, it is nice to have fresh air inside the house. Insects such as flies, mosquitoes and wasps often make it difficult to properly air out the interior. With a heroal retractable fly screen, which can be integrated invisibly into a front-mounted roller shutter box, heroal offers you flexible insect protection that is ready whenever you need it. During the winter months, the fly screen can disappear into the roller shutter box with a nearly silent mechanism. This eliminates the need to dismantle the stenter frames, and you can use the retractable fly screen again whenever you need.
