GrifoFlexHistory: a craft tradition

In November 1971 a small workshop for producing made to measure venetian blinds and folding doors was established in Deruta, near Perugia: this shop would grow and later become Grifo Flex S.p.A.

1978. Production begins of the first insect screens with the Grifo Flex brand:“In those years the raw materials and technology available were rather limited. The market was virtually unknown, with great potential, a whole new territory to be explored. We were among the ‘pioneers’ of the retractable insect screen... .”1985. A very important year for Grifo Flex, because the first line of spring-operated roll up insect screens, made to measure, with a design and technology engineered by the company: the America line.1985-1995. In this decade the made to measure Europa line is put on the market, as well as the modular Colibrì and Élite insect screen kits (Oceania line), which over the years and in response to requests from customers would also be made to measure, alongside the Sidney model for French windows.1996. A new production unit is created for manufacturing the MuskiDoor® hinged insect screen (later replaced by the Amerika model).Grifo Flex s.r.l. is created: the company has 3 production units, with a total of 3000 square meters and 30 employees.2000. The first line of built-in roll up insect screens is put on the market; later it is totally

redesigned, and with the industrial patent obtained for the innovative quick installation systems, it is called the Asia line.

2004. The company moves to the new plant in the Marsciano industrial park, marking the transformation from a small company to an industrial manufacturer of made to measure insect screens, solar screens and roller shutters.2005. Grifo Flex S.p.a. is founded.2007. Year of the industrial patent for the new Asia line systems.2009. Grifo Flex enters the world of passive security with the production of extendable grilles.

GrifoFlexThe present

Goal: continual improvement

Grifo Flex is a leading company in the manufacturing of insect screens, solar

screens, extendable security grilles and roller shutters.

It occupies an area of 20,000 square meters, 13,000 of which is indoor space, divided among production (11,000 sq.m.), management and sales offices, conference room, showroom and cafeteria. Its workforce of over 100 persons includes management, office staff, technicians and specialized workers.

Given the seasonal nature of insect screens, the company must boost its production workforce with short-term labor, but for years the company’s efforts have been focused on

new production solutions that make possible the employment of permanent highly qualified personnel, who are also provided with in-house training programs, to guarantee

constant product quality, pursuing the goal of continual improvement.

Grifo Flex uses aluminum profiles of its own design and has its own molding department, with injection molding machines for producing at its own plant the accessories (in PA6 nylon) needed for assembly of the insect screens. Both the raw materials and the components that go into the making of products under the Grifo Flex brand must meet

high quality standards and are selected only from the best Italian and European manufacturers.

More Than Just Insect Screens

The company’s core business has always been the roll up insect screen, which is currently

is offered in 4 different lines: Europa (with telescoping guides), America (with fixed

guides), Asia (hidden, built-in installation), Oceania (guides with double brush, also in the built-in version).

Alongside these are Free and Silent (also roll up, but with a retractable floor guide

track), various pleated screen models, and panel insect screens, i.e. with a rigid frame.Overall you can choose from almost 50 models, which can be made in over 100 styles and in dozens of stock colors.Grifo Flex specializes in the supply of products made to measure, but it also offers insect screens in kits and in preassembled bars: thus it can meet the different needs of B2B, the company’s target market, consisting mainly of window and door manufacturers and processing and/or distribution companies.

The Africa line of roll up solar screens, both interior and exterior, available with shading or filtering fabrics, meets the demand for solutions for solar and heat protection for buildings: private homes, shops, offices...Grifo Flex also offers roller shutters, also made to measure, with aluminum or steel slats, insulated with polyurethane foam, and in PVC.

Grifo Flex operates in the field of passive security for the protection of homes and

buildings in general: the extendable grilles, reinforced grilles with a stainless steel (Siléa)

or galvanized steel (Silight) movable structure and aluminum shell are an excellent deterrent against break-ins by thieves and criminals.

(*) vary depending on the model

Models:Silent (also built-in) Free 38Free 30

The movable guide track frees the threshold and

makes passing through easier

Free is a bit like those travelers who, because they are able adapt, always feel at home, wherever they have arrived during their journey.These insect screens can be combined with any other of the various lines as an alternative, or also together, to the “traditional” side retractable models, whether with canisters or built-in.They offer the typical advantages of a roll up screen (strong mesh and reliable accessories) which, combined with an innovative patented system without a floor guide track, make it a unique product, easy to install, which lets you free the full opening and have the screen always taut. The installation is reversible: the canister can be installed on either the right or left side of the door or window.The sideways movement of the screen is “guided” at the bottom by an aluminum profile just 5 mm high, which due to its size and characteristics does not constitute an obstacle for people passing over it.One important feature, which is a real advantage, is that of being able to leave the bar handle in any position, without necessarily having to fully open the screen. This is very practical when passing through the door frequently, or for persons with disabilities.Its ease of operation also makes it the ideal insect screen for hotels and other accommodation facilities.

No obstacles on the floor

A common feature of the pleated models is accordion folded screen that requires no springs or other mechanisms, but instead folds up together as it is opened. A system of cords keeps the screen taut when it is closed across the opening. The mesh is available in black or gray.The Plissè is ideal for high traffic doors because there are no barriers on the floor: The sideways movement of the screen is “guided” at the bottom by an aluminum profile just 5 mm high, which due to its size and characteristics does not constitute an obstacle for people passing over it.Because it has no return springs it is very safe, especially if there are children or elderly persons at home. In addition, the bar handle can be left in any position without necessarily having to fully open the screen.It can be made in a single door size, double door size with central or sequence opening, or 3-, 4-door or larger sizes for very wide openings.The Gioconda models, with side retraction like Plissè, have low level floor guide tracks (less than one centimeter), which makes passing through easier. They can be made in single or double door sizes; the single door version is also available with two-side opening.Because they are easy to operate, they are recommended in areas where used by disabled persons, as well as for hotels and other accommodation facilities.

GrifoFlexExtendable Grilles

It's nice to know your home is secure

Your home, the family nest, can unfortunately become a target for strangers and intruders.

Extendable grilles contribute to the security of your home, making it a safer place for the

people you care about the most.

They are passive anti-intrusion systems for doors and windows, something different from the

traditional fixed grilles, a safe and effective protection that disappears when not needed.

A range of elegant and colorful grilles that disappear when opened, thanks to the side fold-up

system.

Silea and Silight are not aluminum grilles with reinforcement, they are reinforced stainless

steel security grilles faced with aluminum; the reinforcement is internal and the structure is

match the grilles to the windows and doors. The ample choice of versions and configurations

makes them adaptable to a wide variety of needs. They can also be installed where there are

shutters, blinds, or roller shutters. The lower guide track can be raised (thanks to the unique

joint) or removed; the lock cylinder can be protected by an anti-drill defender; the retracted

grilles can rotate to completely free the window or door opening; they can be set into the wall

or installed over the exterior wall if there is not room inside the opening itself... A versatile

system for protecting homes and buildings in general.

GrifoFlexRoller Shutters

PVC, aluminum and steel: the choice is yours

Roller shutters are window complements to be chosen with care, because they are important for protecting window frames from the elements and, in some cases, to prevent intruders from entering.Choosing the right shutter depends mainly on the needs of the customer. That is why we offer a wide range of materials, so as to best meet the different needs and requirements of the market.PVC shutters are distinguished from other types by the lower cost of the material from which they are made. Aluminum shutters are currently very popular because they provide a good degree of protection while being very lightweight, and thanks to their insulation, they help reduce energy consumption for cooling and heating the house. Steel shutters, which are also insulated, stand out for the high degree of protection against vandalism and/or break-ins.Along with the shutters we provide all accessories for opening and closing (both manual and motorized) and tilting devices that give both privacy and protection against sunlight, and at the same time providing ventilation of the rooms.

Main features (*):• lath height 55 mm• shutters complete with attachment to the roller • stop caps in matching color• PVC• Insulated aluminum

• Insulated steel • Aluminum with high density insulation • Control systems • Tilting devices

(*) vary depending on the type

Africa line

Solar screens, interior and exterior

Africa: the “dark” continent, which lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, divided in half by the Equator. Synonymous in our imagination with heat and strong sunlight, from

which the local people have learned to protect themselves in different ways, often adapting to it...Solar screens are an essential element for protecting the walls and windows of a building against the rays of the sun. They are a passive system for controlling energy costs, and combined with other systems, they make it possible to considerably reduce the energy used for electric air

conditioners.The screens are more effective if they are planned together with the

designing of the building and of the windows; they may however be retrofit to improve the building’s energy efficiency (decreasing energy consumption related to

the summer air conditioning).Our shading and filtering screens, made to measure in a variety of types and with different fabrics, both interior and exterior, are perfectly suited to any need and environment.

Main features (*):• canisters up to 130 mm• exposed (open roll)• different types of fastening • with or without guides • fabrics inside and outside guides

• upper retractable • spring, chain, crank or motorized • shading or filtering • interior or exterior

the light entering rooms, up to complete darkening, and because they are easy to operate and

have a wide variety of applications.

They are adaptable to the room and can be fastened directly to the windows, making them

very popular in work environments for regulating the amount of light that enters the room.

The variety of styles and colors available also make them an excellent product for furnishing

shops and offices.

The various possibilities for adjusting and controlling them make them very versatile in

response to the customers’ widely differing needs.

Available with 15 – 25 – 50 mm aluminum slats, also with micro-perforations and wood tones.

Folding doors in PVC are a niche product, often the only viable and economical solution for

dividing two rooms or when the space is lacking for traditional doors and it is not possible to

install a pocket door. This is because they fold accordion-style within the door opening.

Easy to install and use.
