Aluminium bracket for terrace blinds

The biggest difference is in the material of construction and the method of installation.

With OpenUp System holders, the boards or laths are simply inserted into the movable arms of the holder. There is no need to drill the boards or use additional fixing screws.

In aluminium brackets, each board or fin has to be additionally screwed to the bracket arm. The brackets have pre-punched holes for screws, but the screws must be selected yourself.

The aluminium handle for terrace blinds is made of metal and is only available in black. OpenUp System handles are manufactured from glass fibre-refined polypropylene and come in 7 colours.

Both solutions have the same dimensions and work with the same type of boards and slats.

Yes. Aluminium brackets for movable external blinds work with both 9.8 × 2 cm timber boards and 9.9 × 1.95 cm aluminium lamellas.

The system allows adjustable louvre walls to be built for pergolas, terraces, balconies and gazebos.

It depends on the height of the development.

One module is 58.2 cm high, so:

• 200 cm → 4 modules,
• 240 cm → 4-5 modules,
• 300 cm → 5-6 modules.

The handles have been adapted to the 9.8 × 2 cm wooden boards and the 9.9 × 1.95 cm aluminium fins.

The use of a suitable cross-section keeps the louvre line even and the whole mechanism working properly.

Aluminium shows high resistance to weather conditions and does not require regular maintenance. The brackets are designed for outdoor use - in pergolas, terrace and balcony buildings.

Yes. Aluminium brackets for external blinds can be mounted both vertically and horizontally - depending on the building design.

This solution allows the layout of the louvres to be matched to the construction of the pergola or terrace.

The number of brackets depends on the height and the width of the building. One module is 58.2 cm high and has 6 slots for boards or laths.

With higher walls, modules can be joined one above the other.

Yes. The mechanism works manually - no motors, wires, cables or springs.

Changing the angle of the boards is done by rotating the handles.

Yes. The system allows subsequent modules to be combined to form a higher louvre wall.

This makes it possible to build developments of different heights - both on private terraces and in commercial buildings.

Aluminium patio blind brackets are most often chosen by those who prefer metal components and a black built-in finish.

However, it is worth bearing in mind the installation difference between the systems.

With OpenUp System holders, the boards or laths are simply inserted into the movable arms of the holder. There is no need to drill the boards or use additional fixing screws.

In aluminium brackets, each board or fin has to be additionally screwed to the bracket arm. The brackets have pre-punched holes for screws, but the screws must be selected yourself.

This means that as many as 12 additional screw connections have to be made with one set of brackets. In practice, this prolongs the assembly, especially on larger projects.

The plastic OpenUp System allows you to speed up your work, reduce the number of joints and simplify the assembly of the entire development. In addition, the system is available in 7 colours and retains the same dimensions and compatibility with boards and fins as aluminium brackets.

Yes. In the case of aluminium brackets, each board or fin has to be additionally drilled and screwed to the movable arm of the bracket.

The mounts have pre-drilled screw holes, but the screws must be selected yourself.

With one set of brackets, as many as 12 screw connections need to be made - two for each board or lamella.

Faster to install is the OpenUp System made of plastic.

With the OpenUp system, the boards or laths are simply inserted into the movable arms of the holder - no drilling and no additional screws.

In aluminium brackets, each board has to be additionally drilled and screwed, which increases the working time for larger builds.

The system allows modules to be combined to form higher louvre walls.

Yes.

• commercial premises (restaurants, hotels).

Thanks to the large module, it scales well for larger investments.

Yes. The aluminium brackets have the same module dimensions as the OpenUp System and work with the same type of boards and aluminium fins.

This maintains the integrity of the entire development and makes it easier to match the other elements of the system.

Yes. The product is sold as a set of two handles - left and right.

The brackets have pre-punched holes for fixing screws for boards or laths.

Yes. The fixing screws are not part of the kit.
