Sun Shading

Sun-shading fixed or mobile

Summer solar radiation can become a source of discomfort if not properly managed. Solar shading solutions play a crucial role in intercepting sunlight before it penetrates through glass surfaces and overheats the interior. Installing shading solutions on roofs and/or facades protects the building from excessive heat. This approach is effective, environmentally friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-efficient.

RE 2020
To meet the goals set by RE2020 regarding summer comfort and energy consumption, it is essential to implement solar protection systems such as our fixed or mobile shading solutions (see Th-S rules).

Benefits & advantages

Aesthetics

These solutions enhance the value of buildings and adapt to various architectural styles, whether they are installed on new or renovated facades.

Environment

Solar shading systems prevent overheating inside buildings and reduce the need for air conditioning. This lowers energy consumption and minimizes the negative environmental impact.

Savings

Shading provides additional solar protection to the building and delays the need for cooling systems in spaces exposed to high temperatures. This solution results in significant cost savings for building managers.

Comfort

Shading in buildings helps to limit heat entry during the summer and reduce discomfort. Additionally, our fixed or mobile solutions prevent glare in the spaces to optimize occupants’ visual comfort.

Productivity

Excessive heat in buildings can cause discomfort and lead to a significant decrease in productivity. Effective shading helps to significantly reduce heat gain in the building, thereby maintaining occupant comfort.

Controls & Mobile shading solutions

Controlling adjustable sunshades ensures the optimal tilt angle of the blades to counter direct sunlight and maintain maximum brightness.
Several parameters must be considered to achieve the optimal control solution: the building’s location, facade orientation, weather conditions, and sunshade configuration.
