Technolog roller shutter profiles - guide rails, access covers, glides and fitting hardware for external shutters

Roller shutter profiles - guide rails, covers and hardware

Complete hardware for external roller shutters: PVC and aluminium guide rails, access covers, glides, brushes, welts, cover strips and retaining profiles. Standard 6 m lengths.

This page holds everything needed to build in and service an external roller shutter - from the curtain guide rail through connecting and fixing parts to the access cover that closes the box.

The range is divided into twelve groups. If you need a specific part for an existing system, the quickest way is a photo of the profile with a tape measure alongside.

Double roller shutter guide rail 60 x 51 mm Maxi with two grooves and four brushes

Roller shutter guide rails

White and coloured PVC plus aluminium, Mini and Maxi versions, 6 m lengths

The guide rail runs the shutter curtain and finishes the reveal on the facade side. It comes single (one groove) and double (two grooves - for two curtains, or a shutter together with an insect screen), with brushes fitted at the works or without them.

The Mini / Maxi split refers to groove width and is matched to the curtain thickness. Aluminium versions are used where the rail is long and has to stay rigid.

How to choose a guide rail and shutter hardware

Three things matter when choosing a guide rail. The groove width, that is the Mini / Maxi split - matched to the curtain thickness. The number of grooves: a single rail carries one curtain, a double one two, for instance a shutter together with an insect screen. The material: PVC is enough on typical windows, aluminium is chosen for long rails where rigidity counts, and for systems with external access and Raffstore.

Brushes are either fitted at the works or bought separately - in aluminium rails they slide into the groove together with the welt. They too are typical service parts: when a shutter starts running heavily or making noise, it is usually the glides, brushes and welts that are worn, not the mechanism itself.

On the box side the access cover matters most. The Klips version with a 15 mm EPS core has a thermal resistance of 0.67 m²K/W and two seals bearing on the box, so it needs no extra sealing. The cover is held by a Klips retaining profile or by an adapter matched to the particular box - C70 for Beck & Heun systems, for example.

The standard profile length is 6 metres; profiles F and H are supplied in 3 m lengths and the RA insulating insert in 1.25 m pieces.

Roller shutter profiles - complete hardware for external shutters

We carry the full set of profiles and hardware needed to build in and service an external roller shutter: guide rails in PVC and aluminium, insulated access angles, connection covers, end caps and bottom covers, glides, brushes and welts, fixings, traverses, Klips access covers, joint sealing strips, retaining profiles and drip strips. The standard profile length is 6 metres; profiles F and H come in 3 m lengths and the RA insulating insert in 1.25 m pieces.

How to choose a shutter guide rail

Three figures decide it. The groove width - the Mini and Maxi split is matched to the thickness of the curtain. The number of grooves - a single rail carries one curtain, a double one two, a shutter together with an insect screen for instance. The material - PVC is enough on typical windows, while aluminium is chosen for long rails and in systems with external access and Raffstore. We carry widths of 35 and 60 mm in heights of 51 and 86 mm, with and without brushes, including coloured versions.

Service parts: glides, brushes and welts

When a shutter starts running heavily, grating or making noise, in most cases it is the guiding parts that are worn, not the mechanism. Glides reduce friction between curtain and rail and come single and double closed, Mini and Maxi, in white and black. The 6.7 x 4.5 mm brush and the Mini and Maxi welts slide into the groove of an aluminium rail: they cushion the curtain's travel and keep dust out of the profile. It is the cheapest repair that can be made to an external shutter.

Klips access covers and box insulation

The Klips access cover (EPS/15) closes the shutter box. It slides in, with no snap catch, and two seals bearing on the box mean no additional sealing is needed. A 15 mm EPS core, internal chambers and an aluminium foil finish give a thermal resistance of 0.67 m²K/W. Available widths are 95, 120, 140, 160, 180, 195, 220, 240, 260 and 300 mm at a fixed height of 25 mm and 6 m length. The cover is held by a Klips retaining profile of 16, 30 or 38 mm, and in Beck & Heun boxes by the C70 adapter.

Collection at the weekend too

We hand goods over during the week, but the collection time is agreed individually - including on a Saturday and, if need be, a Sunday, arranged by phone beforehand. The option is used above all by customers living and working in Germany, who collect their material when they come back to Poland. Orders for weekend collection should be placed by Friday 12:00 at the latest. We ship throughout Poland.

Frequently asked questions

How does a Mini rail differ from a Maxi?

In the width of the groove the curtain runs in. The version is matched to the thickness of the shutter curtain - Mini for thinner ones, Maxi for thicker.

When is a double guide rail needed?

When two curtains are to run in one profile, a shutter together with an insect screen for instance. A double rail has two grooves and four brushes.

PVC or aluminium guide rail?

PVC is enough on typical windows. Aluminium is chosen for long rails, where rigidity counts, and in systems with external access and Raffstore.

The shutter runs heavily and is noisy - what should be replaced?

Usually the glides, brushes or welts are worn, not the mechanism. They are the cheapest service parts in the whole system and are replaced without taking the box apart.

What widths of access cover are available?

95, 120, 140, 160, 180, 195, 220, 240, 260 and 300 mm, at a fixed height of 25 mm and 6 m length. The width is matched to the size of the shutter box.

Does the Klips access cover need additional sealing?

No. Its slide-in design with no snap catch and two seals bearing on the box mean the cover seals itself. The 15 mm EPS core gives a thermal resistance of 0.67 m²K/W.

Do you have parts for Beck and Heun boxes?

Yes, the range includes adapter profile C70, 9 x 67 mm and 6 m long, compatible with Beck and Heun boxes.

What is the quickest way to find a part for an existing shutter?

Best to send a photo of the rail section with a tape measure alongside and say whether the shutter has bottom, rear or external access. For covers we need the box width in millimetres.

What lengths are the profiles supplied in?

6 metres as standard. Profiles F and H, which fix to the frame, are 3 m, and the RA 20 x 69 insulating insert is 1.25 m.
