ROMA has integrated the attachment of glass fall protection in the guide rails of shutters, exterior blinds or screens

At the first edition ever of the R+T digital, a major player such as ROMA - which traditionally turns out big at the R+T - was of course not to be missed. At its virtual booth, the company from Burgau, Bavaria, put its 40 years of experience to use to present its latest innovations to the trade. These included novelties in the area of roller shutters, external blinds and screens that visitors could easily see from behind their desks. The virtual fair also proved to be an excellent platform for the exchange of ideas.

At the R+T digital, ROMA focused, among other things, on the glass parapet for French balconies, to which the company has also drawn frequent attention in Z&R over the past year. "Its uses have been further expanded," said ROMA Benelux director Toon van Osta. 

If floor-to-ceiling windows are used on floors, fall protection at windows is indispensable. Metal guardrails are often used for this purpose, but ROMA deliberately chooses a version made of glass. Not least for aesthetic reasons, says Van Osta. "Of course, it can also be done with metal fencing, but that is less attractive." 

ROMA very cleverly integrated the attachment of the glass fall protection into the guide rails of shutters, exterior blinds or screens. In addition, insect protection can also be included in the same system. The screen then connects to the top of the glass fall protection, creating a closed unit that prevents insects from entering the room behind. Naturally, all elements of the system can be finished in the same color. 

The fall protection combination is available for all ROMA roller shutters mounted against the façade or on the window, for all raffstores mounted against the façade or on the window, for ROMA's Modulraff Tower and for the surface-mounted screens PURO 2.XR-zip and PURO 2.XRK-zip. From spring 2021, the system will also be available for the zipSCREEN.2 surface-mounted screens and can then be used system-wide. 

But it doesn't stop there...

At ROMA's virtual booth at the R+T digital, ROMA customers and interested parties from the industry were able to see not only the fall protection - with insect protection - but also other of innovations in the areas of roller shutters, raffstores and screens. 

All novelties were presented realistically and attractively on www.rt-expo.digital in the auditorium and through film images. It was also possible to exchange views on ROMA products with a ROMA sales consultant during the exhibition days of the R+T digital between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. by means of a personal video chat.
