Innovative aluminum outdoor blind with tiltable slats

Ruborol of Hamont-Achel specializes in the production and sale of screens, roller shutters and blinds for professional installers in Flanders and the Netherlands. This family business, led by Brecht Vanhamond and his wife Eveline Kerkhofs, emphasizes quality products and ease of installation. They distribute windproof screens from AVZ, work with screen fabrics from Sunconfex and supply roller shutters from Aluprof. From this A-brand, Ruborol will also include SkyFlow, an innovative aluminum outdoor blind with tiltable slats, in its range from next year.

"Ruborol has existed since 2001 as a partner of professional installers for the production and supply of high-quality solutions for roller shutters, blinds and screens. I took over the company in 2021 and in the meantime my wife Eveline also works in the business. The focus on quality and customer orientation has remained a priority all along," says Brecht Vanhamond. "We are not tied to one supplier, but still consciously choose strategic collaborations with regular partners, such as Aluprof for roller shutter systems and AVZ for windproof screens. This way we can guarantee consistent quality and a reliable offer. Moreover, we strive to make the life of the installer easier. After all, all products are developed and manufactured so that they can be installed on the building site without any problems." 

SkyFlow, a new trend in outdoor awnings

For years, Ruborol has worked with Aluprof's roller shutter profiles, but adds its own unique touch. Thanks to the popular wind-resistant screens from AVZ's SolidScreen line and high-quality screen fabrics from Sunconfex, Ruborol is able to address a variety of end customer needs, including energy efficiency, wind resistance and a stylish look.

"Starting in 2025, we will again expand our product range with an innovative solution. After all, then we will be able to supply the SkyFlow, the latest outdoor blinds from our partner Aluprof. These blinds offer the same functionalities as screens, but have one big additional advantage. The slats are tiltable, allowing one to determine the incidence of daylight very precisely. This gives one complete control over the amount of light coming in, while keeping the interior protected from heating," Vanhamond concludes. "SkyFlow is synonymous with practical comfort. But thanks to its sleek aluminum construction, this outdoor blind also gives a modern look to any facade. This solution is ideally suited for large areas in homes. We continue to focus on innovative and practical solutions, further strengthening our position as a reliable partner for installers in sun protection and roller shutters."
