Solar shading systems: fixed & motorized louvers

May 3, 2017

North American weather ranges from extreme cold to extreme heat, with many variations in-between. Today’s design approaches need to consider weather patterns and how to best maximize energy efficiencies to address these. Unicel’s solar shading systems provide optimal weather protection for the harshest climates and temperature extremes, while ensuring interior comfort and desired levels of vision.

Key Solar Shading Benefits:

  • Daylight control - Glare reduction and greater comfort
  • Heat control - Optimal solar heat gain and energy efficiency
  • Sound control - Acoustic insulation and enhanced tranquility
  • Visual appeal - State of the art aesthetic features that enhance overall design
  • Low maintenance - Durable and easy to maintain
  • Flexibility - Adaptable to many building and architectural designs

Solar Shading Features:

  • 6063-T5 aluminum alloy extrusions
  • Hardware fits aluminum blade solutions
  • Custom colors in painted or anodized finishes
  • Fixed or mobile blades
  • Available in vertical , horizontal and cantilevered configurations
  • Remote controlled system

The fixed or motorized louvers can be installed as an independent structure or connected to the main facade system. Additionally, they can be painted in any color to enhance their visual impact.

When designing an architectural envelope, interior and exterior design requirements need to work together as a dynamic system to respond to variations in temperature, daylight and vision requirements. Unicel’s solar shading solutions complement almost any design and are highly adaptable to the most rigorous heat and vision control requirements.
