What is brise soleil?
Brise soleil generally refers to a fixed arrangement of horizontal, inclined or vertical louvres which shade window openings. In the typical form, a horizontal projection extends out from the building. These arrangement of louvres can reduce solar heat gain and glare, but also can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the building.
Brise soleil is most effective on facades where it is possible both to reduce the amount of high angle sun in the summer, but also to allow low angle sun in the winter, which can provide some passive solar heating.
Colt Solar C
Colt Solar C is a fixed aluminium brise soleil solar shading system. It may be combined with other Colt products such as rooflights and glazed facades. See Solarfin for movable systems.
Unlike conventional 'Z' shaped blades, which reduce both direct and diffused light, the blade of the Solar C brise soleil is designed to be particularly effective at controlling solar heat gain while allowing a large proportion of diffused light through the blade.
Six blade profiles are available varying in width from 100mm to 150mm. A perforated blade is also available with a width of 110mm. The pitch between the blades is normally set at 100mm but this can be varied to suit the blade size and angle.
