Warema is also taking part in the extensive supporting programme at the R+T digital, and is providing speakers for the Gastronomy Day (22 February) and the Smart Home Forum (24 February). On Thursday (25 February), Germany’s largest architects’ congress, ARCHIKON, will be supported by the sunlight managers and will take place digitally on the R+T platform. On 22 February, Warema will take part in the final judging of the R+T Innovation Award, in which it has been nominated with the sound-optimised new-build add-on box in modular design.
Harmonious façades: Straightforward design
When it comes to sun protection, the focus today is clearly on design in addition to effectiveness. With its new Zetra Slat 80 Z, Warema is expanding its portfolio with a product that fits perfectly into the current cubic architecture. Its straight slat geometry with a width of 80 mm builds on the specifications of the proven 80 S slat and improves the properties of the previous darkening slat. This also makes it an attractive alternative for bedrooms. On the one hand, it increases darkening by up to 25 percent compared to the previous system when closed. When open, it offers a significantly optimised view through to the other side. At the same time, reliable sun protection with excellent daylight control is guaranteed by the concave curved reflection surfaces. With its high stability, the Zetra Slat fulfils another criterion expected by customers. It has proven to be very robust in tests and can withstand extreme wind loads of up to 80 km/h.
The A 37 aluminium mini roller shutter curtain replaces the previous A 36. The new roller shutter profile enables improved winding and stationary behaviour with optimum darkening qualities. In addition to the proven standard design with grooves, the A 37 profile will also be available in a smooth look in the future. This is right on trend and fits in with modern housing. In addition, its design is very similar to that of the external Venetian blinds with the new Zetra Slat, and thus offers clear visual advantages for installing both products on one building. To complete the roller shutter portfolio, Warema will in future also be stocking the K 37 plastic profile as a smooth roller shutter curtain as well as the A 44 and A 53 aluminium midi and maxi profiles in grooved and smooth versions; they are the perfect counterpart to the tried and tested 80 S slat.
Warema completes the range for windows and façades with the combination of Zetra and A 37, so that a uniform appearance can be realised and the highest design requirements are met.

New collection for external Venetian blinds and roller shutters
The new collection consists of one handy and attractive collection case each for external Venetian blinds and roller shutters, which can be connected by means of a magnet. This way, the different product categories can be shown individually or together. The cases contain the latest external Venetian blind slats, roller shutter profiles and colour samples in a high-quality presentation. They are clearly sorted according to price groups. The new Zetra Slat and the new A 37 roller shutter profile have already been integrated.
From the previous colour selection, Warema has combined the eight best sellers in white and grey tones, which cover almost 90 percent of the market demand, in the Selection category. These colours are available for both external Venetian blinds and roller shutters in all variants. With four matt colours for external Venetian blind slats, Warema is also picking up on the current “matt” design trend on the façade, enabling an even more harmonious combination with matt roller shutter profiles.
Rollo Pure for price-sensitive contract business
With immediate effect, Warema’s Inside portfolio made in Germany will exclusively serve the commercial building sector with functional privacy, glare and sun protection and will transfer decorative interior sun protection for private residential buildings within the group to the Anwis brand. Through this focus, Warema intends to further expand its core competence in the Inside segment and continuously expand its range with innovations. With its new Rollo Pure, the brand offers an optimised product that perfectly meets the requirements of the price-sensitive contract business with high quality, flexibility and attractive design.
The revised Rollo Pure range includes flexible standard solutions with an excellent price-performance ratio that are also suitable for retrofitting commercial properties. Analogous to the Select series, the range consists of sizes M, L and XL with different shaft diameters. Size M has been extensively revised and expanded. In addition to the crank, it is now also available with the ball chain and motor operating modes. The components and assembly processes have been standardised for the flexible use of different motors. Warema has also reduced the fabric inset dimensions. The L and XL series have been adapted only selectively in terms of the motors used and standard colours.

Acoustic early warning system
For external Venetian blinds, Warema is introducing the SenSigna early warning system to protect against burglars, which reacts to unusual movements of the external Venetian blind with a loud signal. The acoustic alarm detects all movements of the external Venetian blind and evaluates them. If burglars tamper with the external Venetian blind, they will cause atypical movements that differ from those that occur during normal use and weather influences. SenSigna detects these and sounds a loud warning signal of about 90 dB in the event of such an alarm. This will prompt potential intruders to flee before they can cause any damage to the façade. It also alerts residents and the neighbourhood about what is happening on the property. SenSigna can be ordered as additional equipment for new purchases of all common external Venetian blind systems and slat geometries without any planning effort.
Everything listens to a command
The flexible Smart Home system homee combines numerous applications such as lighting, heating or security of different wireless standards. The user can control these conveniently by voice control, hand-held transmitter or app. Warema is now expanding the homee modular Smart Home control centre to include automated sun protection. With the corresponding red Warema cube, WMS can be easily integrated so that users can conveniently control awnings or roller shutters via homee.
The modular homee concept brings order to the Smart Home world with its cube principle. The basis is the white Brain Cube, which encrypts all data and stores it locally. It can be expanded as desired with additional cubes for the Z-Wave, ZigBee and EnOcean radio standards. A new addition is the red Warema cube for the WMS radio system, which can control all intelligent sun protection products from Warema. Possible applications are, for example, outdoor blinds, roller shutters, Venetian blinds, slatted roofs, as well as awnings with radiant heaters and LED light strips.
Various sensors for temperature, brightness or movement send the measured values to the Brain Cube, which evaluates them and sends the corresponding commands to the radio systems. The different systems can not only all be operated via the homee app or a voice control, but also via the hand-held transmitters of each integrated manufacturer. The WMS hand-held or wall-mounted transmitter from Warema can also be used, for example, to change the light colour or to control the temperature of the heating.
