ROMA: 'My home is my - safe - castle'

"My home is my castle," applies almost to everyone observes Toon van Osta, director of ROMA Benelux. "Within the four walls of our own house, our home, we spend a large part of our lives and feel good and safe. ROMA shutters contribute to this and have proven themselves millions of times over in new construction and renovation."

Closed shutters are also able to reduce heat loss through the windows by more than 35% in old windows, Van Osta notes. "And in the summer months, the scorching heat is kept out, which also applies to the thieves' guild in all seasons of the year." ROMA provides an optional security package for its shutters. Weighted and reinforced components, securing mounting screws and direct attachment of the starter slat to the shaft are some of the modifications "that make your home a fortress," Van Osta said.

"It is a fact that a large proportion of burglary attempts occur during the day. Motion detectors combined with Tahoma, Somfy's smart home technology, ensure that shutters close automatically and that this is reported on the (main) resident's cell phone. Somfy's intelligent RS100 IO motor combines extremely low noise levels with a soft stop at the end positions for even longer shutter life."

With the introduction in 2015 of the aluminum slat PU34, ROMA offers the possibility to achieve greater heights than were possible until now with small roller shutter boxes. "That ROMA additionally has the most extensive program in the area of built-in is well known," Van Osta concludes. "Now also with a glass parapet for French balconies. In short: there are shutters and there are ROMA shutters!"
