SYSTEM COVERINGS: The solutions developed by Atena include both hooking sunshades on crossbars and shaped slats for direct attachment to the substructure. Atena's sunshade slats are installed on the openings by simply connecting them to the carrier. The inclination angle of 20° | 30° | 45° is fixed and determined by the supporting carrier. Tested for wind resistance according to EN 13659, the hooked sunshade slats fall into class 6. This is the maximum required by the standard in terms of resistance to the threshold values of nominal pressure (400N/m2) and safety pressure (600N/m2). To ensure proper expansion between the elements, the slats can be overlapped or joined by means of special expansion joints, which create the visual effect of a gap. For special applications, it is possible to provide a gap breaker profile. Hooked slats are either fixed directly to the concrete or screwed to a special metal frame fixed to the wall of the building at a standard spacing of 1m, which can be reduced to 500mm at the base of buildings, balconies, or terraces where the slats may be walked on. Originally conceived as a solar shading element to be applied to the openings, they can also be used as a cladding system for the entire building. This solution requires the use of special made-to-measure closure panels. TYPE: Hooking panels semi-hidden structure and fixings. Shaped slats in 6/10, 7/10, and 8/10 aluminium painting on both sides on request. Dimensions: base 85 mm | height 15 mm radius 8 mm | max. length 6 m. STRUCTURE: Stave attachment carriers with 3 different angles of inclination 20° | 30° | 45°. Max. length 4 m. Aluminium 10/10 white on both sides or the same finish as the slats. COLOURS | FINISHING: RAL / NCS gloss or matt post-paintings. Wood, corten, and natural metal effect finishes. Smooth surface. WIND RESISTENCE: 6 CLASS – EN 13659. The Atena Linear slats tested according to EN 13659 standard, achieved the 6th class of wind resistance. The maximum required by the standard, in terms of resistance according to the threshold values of the nominal pressure (400N/m2) and the safety pressure (600N/m2). The nominal pressure corresponds to the applied pressure for which the product must not undergo deformation or deterioration that could damage its correct functioning, while the safety pressure corresponds to the applied pressure for which the product must not undergo any deterioration that could be dangerous for the people such as breaking, leaking from fasteners or tightening devices.
