SIMPLE, BUT EFFECTIVE
In the summer direct sunlight falling on a vertical glass surface can generate a heat load of as much as 700 W/m2. An external solar shading system can deal with this problem.
Solar C is a relatively simple fixed brise soleil system. It is designed to be particularly effective at controlling solar heat gain while allowing a large proportion of diffused light through, thus also reducing glare. It is maintenance free and it exerts a minimal load on the building structure.
Solar C is pre-eminently suited for installation on the outside of buildings with a south-east to south-west orientation, above or in front of glazed surfaces. The C-shaped aluminium louvres - from which this product derives its name - are attached horizontally, vertically or at an angle.
Using a patented clip system the louvres can be adjusted in steps of 15°. This allows the system to be adjusted to meet the specifications of the project concerned.

The Levolux Matrix System unites simplicity and efficiency to produce an effective external “Brise Soleil” Solar Shading System. The system can create both aesthetic and structural features. It enhances the external appearance of new and existing buildings, whilst controlling solar heat gain to create a comfortable internal environment.
Aesthetically pleasing – Matrix is manufactured from extruded aluminium components and can be anodised or polyester powder coated to compliment
the building and surroundings.
Virtually maintenance free – Stainless steel fastenings and fixings are used, producing a virtually maintenance free and corrosion-resistant system.
Reduces energy costs – The ability to control solar heat gain can reduce or even eliminate the need for air conditioning.
Comfortable environment – Matrix encourages natural ventilation and provides unobstructed outward vision.
Flexibility – Matrix can be fitted to existing or new buildings and allows special applications to be considered.
Accessibility – Using Matrix with a walk-on platform option gives easier access for maintenance and window cleaning.
Multi-purpose – Matrix may even be used for wall cladding, ventilation grilles, sight screening, pergolas, pedestrian ways, sun terraces etc.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT AMONG LOUVRE SYSTEMS
Colt Shadotex is a unique, alternative solar shading solution. Shadotex consists of a special fabric stretched between two sides of a louvre support frame. The fabric is manufactured with a weave to prevent solar glare and solar heat gain. The fabric can also create attractive diffused light and can allow a high degree of external vision.
Shadotex is given its strength by coating the fabric in a special resin which dries hard. This type of product is extremely lightweight which allows large spans to be constructed without the need for additional supporting framework.
Associated parts of the louvre system, such as the corners, are made of the same material, which gives a visually homogenous impression. This system offers building designers a unique solution to external solar shading systems.

GLASS LOUVRES AS EYECATCHERS
The fact that it is a solid material that we can nevertheless look through makes glass an attractive material. Architects like to make buildings look transparent and open. Colt Shadoglass can provide this feature.
Colt Shadoglass is a fixed or controllable external glazed solar shading system that may be installed either vertically or horizontally in front of the façade. It is also suitable as a primary or secondary facade element for ventilation.
Shadoglass glass louvre shading systems are operated by linear actuators that have the capability to operate complete facades. The glass louvres are available in various colours, surface finishes and coatings to meet specific design requirements. Depending on the chosen type of glass, frit or film, light and radiation transmission can be accurately achieved for every specific application. Photovoltaic cells may be integrated into the glass louvres so as to obtain further energy benefits.

Dynamic in their distinctive architectural aesthetics, Levolux glass fins provide an extremely efficient external solarshading system which offers all the advantages of a conventional brise-soleil in controlling solar heat gain and glare while allowing the occupants of the building a greater view to the outside.
A huge level of design flexibility is possible and co-ordination with the building%u2019s external façade may be achieved through the use of glass which can be coloured, silk screened, etched or has other surface finishes or coatings tailored to specific design requirements.
Glass fins are ideally suited to the modern low energy building and can be installed in vertical, horizontal or angled situations and may be either fixed or adjustable to allow precise control of the building%u2019s internal environment.

The optical impression changes due to the interplay between opaque reflection elements and transparency, between light and shade. The flexibility of the woven structure enables the forms to be varied in a creative way. Hardly any other material can be tensioned over large dimensions without any visible seams. The robust durability of stainless steel is in line with the intelligent facility management.

LIGHT AND SHADE IN PERFECT HARMONY
Colt Solarfin is a fixed or controllable external solar shading system that may be installed either vertically or horizontally in front of the façade. A Solarfin shading system can reduce solar heat gain, lower air conditioning running costs, and lessen glare whilst maximising the use of natural daylight.
Solarfin solar shading systems consist of extruded elliptical fins within a supporting framework, which also has control mechanisms when it is movable.
Controllable solar shading systems can better optimise the flows of heat and light energy than fixed solar shading systems. Since the louvres are designed to follow the path of the sun, daylight levels may be optimised whilst radiation levels reduced to a minimum. The likelihood of overshading or undershading that frequently occurs with fixed solar shading is reduced, since the louvres are always set to optimum shading angle.
On dull days, light sensors operate to fully open the fins to allow the occupants full vision to the outside at all times. Controllable solar shading is also effective when fitted to glazed rooflights.
An additional benefit is that when closed, Solarfin can provide additional security and can help reduce winter heat loss.
There are many different louvre types available in various colour combinations.

PV SYSTEMS FOR GREATER SUSTAINABILITY
Architects are increasingly aware of the opportunities offered by the use of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).
Colt Shadovoltaic is a fixed or controllable external glazed solar shading system that may be installed either vertically or horizontally in front of the façade. Photovoltaic cells are integrated into the glass so as to generate electricity and also to provide shading.
As with Shadoglass, Shadovoltaic shading systems are operated by linear actuators that have the capability to operate complete facades. There are many options of solar cell, from semi-transparent or fully transparent modules through to completely transparent solar cells, depending on design requirements. This and the chosen type of glass, frit or film determines the light and radiation transmission as well as the amount of power generated.

STOCKAL® is the Novelis brand name for its aluminium sheet pre-painted with polyester based liquid paints. STOCKAL® is eminently suitable for use in the building industry, especially for façade cladding and window flashings. The wide range of colours and the extraordinary workability of the aluminium substrate make STOCKAL® the most versatile material produced by Novelis.
STOCKAL® is characterised by an extraordinary degree of workability. Thanks to its chemical and mechanical characteristics, due to the combination of an EN AW 5010 alloy and polyester based liquid paints, STOCKAL® can be easily worked using the main mechanical working processes: bending, drilling, milling and cutting; these are only part of the standard working processes for STOCKAL®. The use of a special protective liquid coating on the reverse side also makes STOCKAL® suitable for gluing and bonding.
