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 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.

Metal mesh shades the sun - reducing heat load, cooling requirements and ultimately energy consumption.
Cambridge mesh provides a unique alternative to traditional shading systems, and can be designed for almost any opacity, shading or heat reduction requirements imaginable.
For solar shading, architectural mesh looks and performs brilliantly. Cambridge mesh is more sophisticated and refined than any other solar shading product - and promotes airflow unlike traditional shading materials.
Based on the mesh pattern, the interaction of material with light varies. Closed, tight weaves can block illumination completely, while open patterns allow varying degress of light to pass through. Cambridge provides solar heat gain data to assist in mesh pattern selection.
Woven metal fabric reduces solar glare and light pollution from electric night lighting. In the daytime, mesh can replace traditional wall materials to harvest natural daylight.
Cambridge mesh is lightweight and requires minimal structural support - reducing material and labor costs - and, it can be made from recycled materials.
Cambridge Solucent metal fabrics deliver striking visual appeal, increased comfort, and most importantly, energy savings - giving your building a remarkable shade of "green."

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.
