Solar shading, or as it is otherwise known “brise soleil”, offers building designers a fully integrated solar control solution for facades with window, screening and curtain walling elements.
All Sapa Solar BIPV solutions are made to the highest quality standards and bespoke to suit architectural requirements. System sunshades Elegance SC is designed to complement the Elegance 52 curtain wall and meet growing energy constraints to be satisfied by any building façade. It allows a significant reduction in intake and sun glare and reduced daylight.
Elegance SC Solar Shading offers building designers a fully integrated solar control solution for facades with window, screening and curtain walling elements. Installing solar shading can dramatically reduce the overall life-time costs of a building and, with this being an increasingly important issue to end users, it makes huge sense for aluminium fabricators such as Hazlemere Commercial in to offer solar shading as part of their product range.
Correctly positioned, Elegance SC can provide a comfortable environment for the building user by reducing solar gain in the summer months. Conversely solar gain in the winter can be maximised to increase internal building temperatures and therefore offset some of the requirements for heating.
There are three basic types of solar shading – horizontal projecting shading; horizontal parallel shading and vertical parallel shading. Elegance SC features all three of these with a number of aesthetic, functional and installation benefits.
Sapa Elegance SC has great adaptability to all facades with windows and curtain walls and can respond to all architectural creations, thanks to its wide range, whilst controlling thermal exchanges in both summer and winter, helping keep energy expenditure under control. Powder coated aluminium brise soleil therefore offers a Passive house solution: reduction of CO2 emissions, with a significant reduction in the use of air conditioning and heating, depending on the season.
- Quick and easy to install, either as part of the initial design of the building façade or as a retro fit option
- Three basic types provide design flexibility
- Can be powder coated to match the building’s colour scheme
- Bespoke calculation software will work out the optimum solution based on building location and orientation
