As an expert, you know that determining the structural analysis based on the selected window profile is the responsibility of the planner or client. Discover solutions to improve the wind load resistance of solar shading systems.

Standard top-mounted elements do not include window-stabilising or load-transferring components between the window and the building structure. Structural optimisation of roller shutters, external venetian blinds and window awnings is optionally possible and can be achieved through various measures listed here.

Please note: The decision on which measures to apply must be made by the executing party. WAREMA does not perform structural calculations.

The steel adapter profile is available in two versions (long and short). The long version is suitable for window frame depths from 70–92 mm, while the short version can be used for frame depths from at least 70 mm (no upper limit). These profiles increase the moment of inertia ly of the window (recommended for widths > 1600 mm). Moment of inertia of steel adapter profile: long: ly = 8.3 cm⁴ | short: ly = 2.4 cm⁴.

If the required standard classes cannot be met by the window frame or a frame reinforcement, optional structural brackets are available to improve stability. Depending on the version, they are either supplied loose or pre-foamed into the box and must be securely fastened to the building structure. These brackets help absorb and transfer wind loads acting on the window into the building.

  • Suitable for installation situations with large frame depths
  • Can be used with new-build top-mounted roller shutters/venetian blinds and window awnings
  • Bracket is screwed to the outside of the box
