Added Benefits
As the BLOCKOUT® Maxiblock® window roller shutters are fitted externally, they act as a barrier against the heat, creating an insulating air pocket between the shutter and the window. They can cut direct sunlight by 81%, reduce heat gain by up to 70% in summer and reduce heat loss by up to 70% in winter.
