A much-requested improvement today is to combine a motorised blind with a retractable mosquito net integrated into the same box. This allows both the blind and the mosquito net to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new construction. For renovations of existing homes, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one that houses both systems. Yes, for large blinds, on high floors or if there is difficulty in mobility. The investment pays off in comfort within one season. Solid wood is the traditional option, robust, restorable, and durable. Its drawback is seasonal movement with humidity: in humid summer, it absorbs water and swells; in dry winter, it contracts. This causes some doors to rub against the frame in July-August and become visibly loose in January-February. For homes occupied all year round in areas with stable humidity, it's not a problem. For holiday homes with long closed periods or intermittent heating, the movement is more noticeable.

All that investment in a security cylinder loses meaning if key copies are made freely at any local hardware store. The registered key of the security cylinder can only be duplicated at the manufacturer's official distributor upon presentation of the owner's card that we provide upon installation. Without that card, no copy is possible. This means you control exactly how many keys exist and who has them. You will never have the uncomfortable doubt of whether the local locksmith or a copier might have kept your key pattern for future use. Changing handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective improvement. A new handle of medium quality (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without problems. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple internal lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion. Official manufacturer's warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour.
