Quickly cleared: SecuKit line opens rescue routes

In case of fire or dangerous natural events: When things get serious, often every second counts in order to be able to safely leave a building - even in the event of a power failure. With the SecuKit line for roller shutters, frame screens and also exterior blinds, Warema offers reliable and fast solutions for the second rescue route.

Escape and rescue routes are life-saving in emergencies and crucial for the safety of people in the building - both in public and private buildings. This applies not only in the event of a fire, but also in the event of a power failure to avoid panic situations. The requirements for rescue routes are getting higher and higher, and therefore also the requirements for sun protection. Depending on region and province, different regulations and guidelines may apply for this. Those who prefer not to take unnecessary risks here, plan the second rescue route with SecuKit from Warema. This also complies with the requirements of Bauordnungen (German building regulations) that sometimes require an emergency control independent of the power supply for each residential unit.

SecuKit solutions are the manual auxiliary controls for motor-driven protection products against view and sunlight. This guarantees that the way out of the building to the outside and the way in for rescue forces is released in seconds - and that independent of the power supply. In daily use, outdoor blinds, roller shutters and frame screens with SecuKit can be easily operated with an intelligent control system. Optically restrained, they convince with high reliability and simple operation - and are also maintenance-free and economical. Installation and commissioning take place analogous to the standard equipment of exterior blinds, shutters, frame screens.

The security feature SecuKit for exterior blinds is intuitive and simple: In an emergency, the exterior blind is simply raised by hand. The end rail is locked laterally in the guide rails at a predetermined height. Thus, even with motor-driven external blinds, the rescue route to the outside is cleared within seconds independent of the power supply. A manual operation in between does not affect the operation of the motor. Via a control movement of the external blinds to the upper and then to the lower end position, a quick reset is performed - predefined settings remain unchanged. For external blinds, SecuKit can be used for blind widths of up to 1700 mm.

The special advantages: SecuKit for exterior blinds does not require any additional planning or assembly work, and it is integrated optically unobtrusively into the facade. Moreover, no facade penetration is required, thus avoiding cold or thermal bridges. SecuKit can always be retrofitted very easily by replacing the external blind.

Warema roller shutters and frame screens with SecuKit are motor-driven and operated with an intelligent controller. Their special plus point is the additional strap control for emergency use: In the event of a power failure, the lowered awning can be pulled up with a few grips, clearing the rescue route to the outside within seconds. Interim operation via the belt does not affect the operation of the motor in the process, and all settings are retained. Even inside, the unobtrusive strap attachment keeps a low profile because no additional strap winder is required with this system. Moreover, with SecuKit the blinds are unobtrusively integrated into the facade due to their identical movement behavior, which ensures that all blinds move up and down harmoniously. For roller shutters, SecuKit can be used for shading areas of up to five square meters and for frame screens even up to seven square meters.
