Easier to plan and order

The axial dimensions of the poles now form the basis for planning and designing both variants. Warema basically needs just two pieces of information: the axis distance and the total height from the bottom edge of the guide rails to the top edge of the cover panel or box. All system components are compiled using these two measurements and configured to form an overall package. Depending on the installation situation, just a few more details are required, such as the desired facade distance or the cover panel overhang at the corners. This makes planning and ordering extremely efficient.

Premounted by Warema

When developing the new transom and mullion sun shading, Warema focused on quick, cost-effective assembly in particular. Units are supplied completely premounted and ready to assemble: cover panel or box, guide rails of precisely tailored lengths, and all necessary fastening materials. For window awnings, everything is already integrated into the box, including the fabric. For external venetian blinds, the cover panel comes fully pre-equipped with stiffener brackets, mounting profile and top rail brackets to hang the unit. With both systems largely pre-fabricated, installation on the building site becomes much easier and faster. Potential sources of errors are minimised, a real positive in times of skills shortages.

Aesthetically integrated – awnings

The awning variant with easyZIP guidance is integrated into the transom and mullion facade with particular visual appeal. The new guide rails are now effectively designed as complete aluminium extruded profiles and are fitted directly onto the glass fixing rails. Thanks to the way they look and the selected system width of 50 millimetres, the new guide rails align with (and are seen as an integral part of) most transom and mullion constructions. Regardless of the system provider, these guide rails can be installed on practically all common structures. They can also be added to other pole widths. They can be quickly installed by simply fitting them onto and screwing them into dowel pins already fitted. The box is also easy to install. The completely pre-fabricated boxes, including awnings, are simply fitted on the top of the guide rails and screwed in.

Subtle design with optimal light guidance – external venetian blinds

For external venetian blinds, Warema has retained the tried-and-tested structures of the cable guidance and slender guide rails fitted onto brackets. These solutions are barely visible and enable a subtle facade design with optimal light guidance. The highlight of the new external venetian blind design are the newly developed consoles, which now allow a minimum distance of just 25 millimetres between the cover panels and the facade. This significantly improves the look of the facade. The new console also offers a crucial advantage during assembly: the completely premounted cover panels are simply hooked into a nut groove in the console from above, aligned laterally and then secured with a screw on the left and right.

Cost-effective and functionally reliable

The fundamentally revised structure and high degree of pre-fabrication for the new transom and mullion sun shading allows external venetian blinds and window awnings on transom and mullion facades to be planned and installed especially efficiently, quickly and cost-effectively – both for new and renovated buildings. Completely pre-fabricated, ready-to-install and true-to-size components are both quick to install and offer very high functional reliability.

Configuring sun shading in familiar software environment

Warema also provides its partners with consistent support during the planning and ordering process. Integrating the myWarema digital ordering platform into Logikal (the Orgadata software typically used in the industry) makes work processes efficient and secure. The system interface enables a digital workflow to be used. Transom and mullion sun shading can be configured, added to quotations and ordered using the familiar software environment. The optimal connection of both systems reduces the need for manual processing, prevents errors and automates business processes in the long run.

Harmonious facade appearance

WAREMA Colour World can match practically all common colours offered by system manufacturers for powder and anodised aluminium coatings. With optimised colour matching, the reduced facade distance and the integration of guide rails into the system (for awnings), Warema’s new transom and mullion sun shading allows the sun shading to be integrated into the look of the facade to an unprecedented level.
