Transparent rollers for a private house: security without losing light
Country-house window protection that still lets light through. WK2 class, materials, drives. Real 2026 prices.
Solid steel rollers on a country house = bunker look. Transparent polycarbonate rollers = protection plus light. WK2 class (3 min crowbar attack), daylight visibility through. Ideal for dachas left empty on weekdays.

Transparent rollers compromise between protection and aesthetics. Solid steel WK3 is cheaper and tougher, but bunker look destroys house architecture. Polycarbonate is the residential sweet spot.
