Produce up to 16 m 2 Roller Blinds Large rollers put heavy demands on the system. When you choose the Large roller blinds system from Benthin you are choosing a high quality system that will not let you down. The system has been designed to accommodate blinds as big as 16 m 2 and possess the necessary strength to carry heavy fabrics. The system even includes a flexible fascia and cassette solution, as well as side channels and guide wire option to meet every need. Flexibility and modular design are the keys to success When designing the Large roller blind system, one of our objectives was to develop a product that provides the manufacturer with clear benefits. We went beyond quality components and produced a system that requires minimum stock and delivers maximum production efficiency. From a manufacturing point of view, the major benefits of the Benthin Large roller system include: Flexibility and modularity Flexibility and modularity are the philosophy behind the Benthin Large roller blind system. Taking these two key demands into account, we have succeeded in developing a system where symmetrical components and smart adapters enable five different roller types. A complete range A complete range makes you an attractive supplier. Now you can also offer your customers cassettes and fascias including adapter for brackets making it possible to add a fascia to a standard shade. Again, flexibility, modularity and fewer components are the key principles for success. Easy attachment of fabrics with spline The spline system is designed to make your production more efficient. Moreover, changing or cleaning fabrics can be challenging but with the Benthin spline system removing a fabric from the tube is an easy task. Simplicity reduces the risk of error The simplicity of the system is one of its greatest advantages. It is symmetrical in all aspects - from brackets to mechanisms and end plugs. This means a lower risk of costly manufacturing errors. 3
The Benefits of Easy Installation When designing the Large roller blind system the product developers focused on adding features that contribute to a reduction in installation cost. The level of installation costs can significantly affect the ultimate price and profitability of a roller system, so these costs are of increasing importance. Furthermore, easy installation and service are important features for the installer. From an installation point of view the major benefits of the system include: Easy installation Thanks to the patented end plug it is possible for one person to install blinds up to four meters wide, reducing installation cost significantly. Easy and accurate fixing of brackets The patented rotating bracket inserts can be rotated 360 during fitting. This adds ultimate installation flexibility to the system while at the same time ensuring accurate positioning. The brackets are identical on both sides to reduce the risk of error. Installation-friendly lift assisting parts Smooth operation of large blinds or heavy fabrics often requires a lift assisting part. Benthin has both available a lift assisting spring as well as a reduction gear. Both parts are mounted easily during manufacturing. The system allows for the spring to be tensioned during manufacture or simply adjusted on site after installation, which makes life easier for the installer. END USER SATISFACTION The needs of the end user are paramount when we design new products and the Large roller blind system is no exception. It has been designed to make the end user feel, see and hear a difference when operating the blind. From an end user point of view the most important benefits of the Benthin Large roller system include: Smooth and fast operation The lift assisting spring and the reduction gear for side operation are some of the secrets behind the smooth operation of our shades, especially with large or heavy fabrics. By combining the spring or reduction gear with the efficient chain mechanism you can provide the end user with a blind that is both quick and effortless in operation. Silent operation Noise plays an important part in our perception of quality in a roller blind. The design of the Large roller blind system ensures quiet operation a feature that will be appreciated by the end user. Operation options The Large roller system offers a wide range of operation options. Depending on the demand of the end user the roller can be delivered with chain, crank or motor operation. Elegant design The need for lifting power goes hand in hand with elegant design in the new Large roller system. The premium design applies to all components including cassettes, fascias and side channels allowing for complete integration of the blinds into the window. 4

Cassette & Fascia The Art of Creating Flexible Solutions The Benthin cassette and fascia solutions have been designed in accordance with the overall philosophy behind the Large roller blind system. As a result of the flexibility of the system, the new cassette and fascia solution satisfy almost any requirement of both domestic and commercial applications. The new systems are truly modular. Two brackets, two basic profiles, four profiles, seven end pieces, and eight end caps provide large roller equipped with round or square cassette and fascia profiles including left or right hand control by either chain, motor or crank operation. Add another eight components and you have the option to offer the products equipped with side channels. The benefits are obvious: A flexible and modular system with fewer components reduces the risk of error during production and subsequently the number of costly customer complaints. With only two basic profiles for both square and round cassette and fascia solutions, the complexity of installation is low, keeping installation costs at a competitive level. The flexibility and modularity means that almost any wish from the end user can be fulfilled. A demanding market calls for flexible solutions The use of fewer components in a vast number of combinations reflects our ambition to offer cost effective, simple yet flexible solutions to meet the market demands of today as well as tomorrow. 6
