HELM hardware is well known for its reliability in a wide range of sliding door and shutter applications. For many years, HELM systems have been used in increasingly sophisticated sliding shutter technologies.
HELM hardware not only ensures user-friendly operation of sliding sun-shading elements, but also enhances the architectural appearance of façades. Whether the sliding shutters are made of wood or metal, designed as single or multi-leaf units, or operated manually or electrically, HELM sliding shutter technology offers broad application possibilities in modern architecture.
In folding-sliding systems, panels move smoothly along a track system and, when opened, stack compactly to the sides to save space. Thanks to robust track and roller constructions, the system provides high load-bearing capacity and delivers quiet, comfortable performance even with heavy panels. Its resistance to weather conditions, UV radiation, and wind ensures long-term durability, while lockable system options enhance security.
Suitable for residential buildings, villas, commercial properties, and restoration projects, these systems provide effective solar control and shading, reducing heat gain and contributing to energy efficiency while giving the façade a modern and aesthetic appearance. When open, they offer maximum usability without obstructing the view.
Folding sliding shutters add attractive spatial depth to building façades and require less space than shutters running parallel to the façade. Both HELM 80 and HELM 150 hardware systems can be used for systems with fixed-bearing stops or blind-frame stops and are suitable for single-leaf widths of up to 700 mm. Appropriate locking devices (e.g., storm hooks) and locks required to secure the shutters in the open position are available.
