To
answer the growing
demand for a versatile
solution to the problem
of solar and weather
protection for large
internal or external
glazed or open areas,
REFLEX™ offers
the CONTEN retractable
roof system to offer
the very best solution
to this demand.
The versatility of
this system is almost
limitless in applications
from residential skylight
solar protection and
light control to alfresco
restaurant roofing
applications in both
vertical (walls) and
inclined (roof) applications.
The system can be
a stand alone installation
with only minor support
interface necessary
or it can be integrated
into complete structural
assemblies to form
fully sealed and drained
weather resistant
enclosures.
Combined with the
vast range of REFLEX™
control systems from
simple wall switches
to remote controls,
weather sensing automation
or computer interfacing,
The REFLEX™
CONTEN system is the
answer to your large
area weather protection
demands.

The
area to be covered
should be square or
rectangular in shape
and can be in any
aspect from horizontal
to vertical as the
system is always under
its own tension. The
mounting frame can
be interfaced at any
location along the
two side rails to
coincide with substructure.
The inherent tension
in the system is transferred
through these side
rails. All system
hardware is mounted
onto these side rails
and minor alignment
discrepancies can
be overcome with built
in adjustments. Should
the application demand
total concealment
of the hard ware this
is possible with consideration
to be given to the
surrounding architecture
and substrates.

The
preselected fabric
element is stored
on a 100mm aluminium,
spring tensioned roller
which is located adjacent
to the motor roller
within the aluminium
cover. The coated
steel, motor roller
houses the SOMFY tubular
motor and drive roller
system. To the perimeter
of the drive roller
are attached the 4mm,
nylon coated, stainless
steel, adjustable,
pull cables. The pull
cables then attach
to the traction (or
hem) rail, within
the leading edge of
the fabric element,
via aluminium and
PETP return sheaves
mounted at the extremity
of the 40 x 40mm coated
steel side guide rails.The
turning effort of
the motor roller pulls
the cables and the
fabric, out from behind
the cover, towards
the end of the guide
rails to its full
extension and then
automatically stops.
The cover, side guide
rails and traction
bar shall be powder
coated to suit.All
fixings shall be stainless
steel.
The fabric element
can be any of the
screen or solid fabrics
currently available
that have sufficient
mechanical
strength to withstand
the loads of the tensioning
system.
External roofing applications
will need consideration
of rain run off and
plumbing facilities
and the incorporation
of automatic wind
controls for system
integrity protection.
Aspect can be from
horizontal to vertical
but areas to be covered
must be square or
rectangular in shape.
