Curtain Details


QMI has a selection of over 100 different curtain profiles to fit any requirement you might have. They are in stock for immediate delivery. The following is a brief survey of curtain profiles for your application.


 

Qompact

Qompact received the Innovation Award in 2015 (Stuttgart Germany) for the Rolling Shutter category. Its nested design with incrementally larger slats and the smallest roll up size in its class awarded the Qompact, “the most innovative shutter product brought to market for the past 3 years.” Its hurricane rating and security design make the Qompact an excellent choice for residential and commercial applications, weather protection, security, energy efficiency, light control, privacy, and noise reduction. Add a Somfy radio receiving motor and the shutters may be controlled with remotes, timers, smart phone apps, wind sensors, sun sensors, or interfaced with third party automations. Qompact also has 3 manual and 4 motorized options.


AL7-E Extruded aluminum single wall

Our most versatile profile, the AL7-E can be punched with one of 3 styles for both security and vision. The AL7-E has a patented end retention system so that the slats are restricted from being pushed or pried out of the sidetracks. It also rolls up in a more concentric roll, reducing the head room needed for the coil housing. Add a Somfy radio receiving motor and the shutters may be controlled with remotes, timers, smart phone apps, wind sensors, sun sensors, or interfaced with third party automations. Qompact also has 3 manual and 4 motorized options.


AL7 Punch Patterns

P-51

Extruded Aluminum slats with five continuous alternating rows of .25” x .25” punches removed provides excellent views through the shutter curtain, yet provides more security than linked gates using steel or aluminum tubing. The P-51 curtain is available in all 7 std QMI colors. The P-51 is the most popular vision slat curtain as the small, multiple, holes enable excellent views (toward the greatest degree of light) and are very strong. Ropes or chains cannot be attached to the small holes and bolt cutters are too large. Linked gates with steel or aluminum tubing are vulnerable to bolt cutters.


P-21

Extruded Aluminum slats with 1.75” x 1.5” punches removed provides excellent views through the shutter curtain, yet provides more security than linked gates using steel or aluminum tubing. Standard curtain color is anodized aluminum with any of the 7 std QMI colors available for the rails, box housing, and base slat.

 


P-11

Extruded Aluminum slats with 4” x 1.5” punches removed provides near perfect views through the shutter curtain, yet provides more security than linked gates using steel or aluminum tubing. Standard curtain color is anodized aluminum with any of the 7 std QMI colors available for the rails, box housing, and base slat.

 


 

Transparoll Transparent Polycarbonate

Clear polycarbonate slats are perfect for maximum visibility and maximum protection. The polycarbonate slats are 6 mm thick which is 250 times stronger than glass. Each slat is linked together with an extruded aluminum rib which is integrally connected to the next slat. Rib colors: white, brown, and custom colors.


LX6

LX6 provides a clear choice with 36” clear polycarbonate sections joined with vertical spacers to make up the full shutter width. The lighter weight (compared to Transparoll) of the LX6 allows for push-up/pull-down manual operation up to 100 sq ft. The LX6 utilizes tubular motors and a standard box housing for sizes up to 140 sq ft. Housing and rails are available in 7 colors. Rib colors anodized with black spacers retaining the clear polycarbonate.


AL2-P Foam-filled Aluminum Double Wall

European styled roll formed aluminum profiles with a structural foam filler (note: not for insulation but structure) provide good insulation against cold, heat, sun and noise. They provide a physical security barrier and good storm protection. Preferred for smaller shutter applications. 42mm (1.65”) slat height


AL3 Aluminum Roll Formed

European Styled roll formed aluminum profiles with a structural foam filler (note: not for insulation but structure) provide good insulation against cold, heat, sun and noise. They provide a physical security barrier and good storm protection. Preferred for smaller shutter applications. 55mm (2.16”) slat height.


US60 Extruded aluminum double wall (phasing out)

Formerly an industry standard 55mm extruded aluminum slat. While QMI does offer this slat to match existing shutters, the newer Qompact and AL7 shutters are actually equal in energy efficiency and are stronger for hurricane and security protection. Qompact and AL7 also have significantly smaller box housings.


P55 PVC double wall (phasing out)

Formerly an industry standard 55mm PVC slat. While QMI does offer this slat to match existing shutters, the newer Qompact and AL7 shutters are actually equal in energy efficiency and are stronger for hurricane and security protection. Qompact and AL7 also have significantly smaller box housings. Aluminum retained bars through slat from side channel to side channel when used in hurricane applications.
