With systems for roller shutters, awnings and roll-up doors, heroal - Johann Henkenjohann GmbH & Co. KG create added value for professionals. The comprehensive system solutions for residential and commercial construction are distinguished by their particularly efficient processing and maximum flexibility. The novelties presented by heroal at R+T 2024 are also designed to meet the highest design requirements.
Heroal's roller shutter systems for flush-mounted, front-mounted and surface-mounted provide the right solution for all installation situations and technical requirements. New options allow heroal partners to realize the most diverse customer requirements. As solar-powered motors Kaiser Nienhaus Easyline Solar and Somfy RS 100 Solar io can be integrated into the shutter systems, they can be operated independently of the mains and are therefore particularly energy-efficient. The space-saving combination of a solar-powered motor with an external battery allows optimum use of the winding space.
The new heroal corner bottom frames in surface-mounted or front-mounted cabinets also help ensure easy and quality installation of the shutters from the aluminum systems specialist. These bottom frames are available in two different variants: as corner profiles with a corner at the bottom for a flush connection to the cabinet and as corner profiles with a corner in the middle. They are constructed with an identical fastening so that they can be used universally for both roller shutter base profiles.
New, impact rainproof guide rails provide maximum functionality for heroal shutter systems. The seal used also effectively stops heavy rain. The varied range includes solutions for a variety of applications, such as mounting at a specific distance from the window.
The new cabinet system for the combination of rolled and extruded hoods focuses on functionality and flexibility. The combination cabinet for mounting front systems in the day was developed by heroal specifically for applications with a visible extruded hood at the front. The connection is made via an adapter profile, which ensures that the look of the front hood is the same as that of the heroal FME hood box system. The combination cabinet system is suitable for different cabinet shapes and sizes.
Modern residential and commercial buildings must meet very strict requirements in terms of sustainability, safety and design. With innovative new solutions for thermal insulation, heroal shading systems meet important criteria for sustainable and energy-efficient construction. In addition, they combine versatile design with maximum functionality. With sophisticated control options, heroal shutters and blinds can be integrated into building automation and concepts for intelligent façades.
The shading system heroal VS Z EM ('Easy Mount') was awarded the gold R+T Innovationspreis 2021. This clampable variant of the proven zipscreen heroal VS Z offers unique advantages during installation. Available as a system product, kit or ready-made element, the heroal VS Z EM can be quickly and easily fixed in the frame in a few simple steps without drilling or special tools. Because the installation is carried out from inside the building, the work runs extra smoothly, as no scaffolding or crane is required on higher floors The heroal VS Z EM is powered by an integrated solar drive, so no connection to the grid is required. Control is via a button on the wall or a wireless remote control. Thanks to various mounting brackets, the system is suitable for almost all common types of windows made of aluminum, plastic or wood. To individually adapt the heroal VS Z EM to the style of the building, the extruded aluminum components can be powder coated with the heroal hwr powder coating in RAL colors or the exclusive colors of Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier are coated or finished with the heroal SD surface designs. There is also an extensive choice of canvases.
The heroal VS Z corner solution, which won the silver R+T Innovationspreis 2024, meets the highest standards of design and functionality. The zip-guided sun protection system for fully glazed corners, for example, provides efficient protection against glare, glare and heat. The individual bottom frames of the screens are integrated into just one cable guide in the corner in a sophisticated and unique way. This allows the screens to be operated independently and variably adjusted to the position of the sun. Each screen fabric can cover an area of up to 9 square meters. Using spacer profiles and matching ornamentalhoods, the heroal VS Z corner solution can be combined with insect-resistant doors or tension windows. The heroal VS Z corner solution also impresses from an aesthetic point of view. This is ensured by around 250 types of textile, the very fine connection of the screen fabrics in the corner and the side zipper guide in aluminum guide rails with a particularly narrow appearance of only 25 millimeters. At R+T, the heroal VS Z corner solution in combination with the heroal C 50 curtain wall system and the integrated building control system from Beckhoff Automation will be presented for the first time.
Furthermore, heroal has once again expanded the application possibilities of the proven heroal VS Z sun protection system for areas up to 6 meters wide and 18 m² in size: with the new guide rail with the same depth as the box, the heroal VS Z can be installed in front of a fall protection and is suitable for windows with fall protection from different suppliers. Due to the small winding diameter of the cloths, the awning can be manufactured with a particularly compact box. With narrow guide rails with a view width of only 31 mm that can optionally be fully plastered, the heroal VS Z can be space-savingly mounted next to the fall protection on the frame. More than 250 different textiles in the standard range of dense and translucent fabrics offer maximum design freedom and reduce solar and UV radiation by up to 100 percent, depending on the fabric.
Flexibility and efficiency are at the heart of the heroal VS Z textile package, with which heroal offers processors and manufacturers unique options for shading in new construction and renovation. For the first time, they can integrate textile blinds into surface-mounted box systems. Thanks to the cooperation with VEKA and Exte, the ready-to-install solution can be used in the PVC surface-mounted boxes Exte EXPERT ET, Exte ELITE XT and VEKAVARIANT 2.0. In addition, the heroal VS Z textile package can also be combined with the insulation box systems for new construction Exte Neo XT and VEKAVARIANT EPS. The new guide rails from VEKA and Exte were fully matched to both heroal VS Z and the manufacturers' platforms. The special bearing consoles for installing the heroal VS Z sun protection system move the shaft bearings forward in the direction of the screen exit and ensure that the screen fabric is fed into the guide rails as vertically as possible. The ready-to-install and pre-assembled elements and easy commissioning via plug-and-play offer maximum flexibility and efficiency.
Two further product innovations for the heroal VS Z textile package further expand the application possibilities. Thanks to the possibility of integrating different types of motors, such as a solar-powered motor or an actuator for a 2nd escape route, the packages can be flexibly adapted to different requirements. Also the fact that, in addition to a cloth shaft with rolled fabric and separate bottom rail, a solution with pre-assembled bottom rail is now also available, represents added value for processors and manufacturers thanks to improved efficiency and error-free processes.
With heroal VS Z CS, the heroal VS Z blinds can be seamlessly integrated into the heroal C 50 aluminum curtain wall system and into post-and-beam facades of other manufacturers semi-integrated. This significantly increases the design freedom of heroal partners. The new integration profile for the guide rail heroal GR 25 is installed in the curtain wall system using a likewise new awning bolt. Compared to the classic curtain wall integration with cross beams, the heroal VS Z CS sun protection system is particularly close to the façade element, thus exhibiting extremely high wind stability of up to 145 km/h. Moreover, this way the sun protection fits discreetly into the curtain wall: when fully open, it is almost invisible. Even in the closed position, the new solution impresses with sophisticated aesthetics. The view width of 25 mm when using two guide rails heroal GR 25 corresponds exactly to the view width of the curtain wall system heroal C 50. For maximum functionality, guide rails heroal GR 25 can be used to provide curtain walls up to 5 m high with sun protection. If several shading elements are installed side by side on the curtain wall, the heroal VS Z CS plays out its enormous installation advantages. Each individual element can be optimally aligned to the facade thanks to the integrated side and depth adjustment. Thus, the blinds can be adjusted in three dimensions to accommodate or compensate for building tolerances.
heroal roller door systems offer processors and manufacturers cost-effective solutions for residential, commercial and commercial buildings that can be fully integrated into the architecture and are easy to operate. In addition to the versatile design options in standard, special and RAL colors, the coating technology heroal Surface Design (SD) is also available for these systems. In addition to natural wood looks, modern rust or concrete looks can be created and the end result always convinces with its extraordinary resistance.
The ability to purchase heroal roller door systems as needed provides heroal partners with maximum flexibility. Delivering customized solutions is one of the strengths of heroal services and represents real added value for partners.
