Brise Soleil / Solar Shading

The Sun is a massive atomic furnace that works by converting hydrogen into helium. Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. Temperatures and densities in the centre of the Sun are so great, 1.5 million°C and around 200 billion atmospheres. Is it any wonder it gets hot sitting behind a glass window. Solar shading by NLC looks good too.

Benefits Of Using Brise Soleil / Solar Shading

1. Properly designed brise Soleil / solar Shading can reduce solar heat gain from glazing by up to 90%.

2. Brise Soleil / Solar shading is an effective complementary aid to air conditioning and mechanical ventilation, that will provide savings in running costs and reduced enery usage.

3. In naturally ventilated buildings Brise Soleil / Solar Shading will provide lower internal temperatures by reducing the effects of solar heat gain.

4. During the winter months correctly designed Brise Soleil / Solar Shading allows solar gains into the building and provides passive heating,  reducing energy consumption.

6. Brise Soleil / Solar Shading increases occupants' comfort reducing absenteeism and time off work.

7. Brise Soleil / Solar Shading will reduce direct sun light whilst allowing high levels of diffused (indirect) natural light, reducing the requirement for artificial lighting.

8. Brise Soleil / Solar Shading can be used to make striking feature to building's design.

9. Brise Soleil / Solar shading can help achieve comfort cooling by using a combination of Brise Soleil / Solar Shading with night time cooling to help reduce the requirment for air conditioning.

Nationwide Louvre Company also supply wooden solar shading systems in a range of sustainable timbers such a Western Red Cedar

There are a number blade shapes and sizes available, with both factory manufactured and site assembled systems

Nationwide Louvre Company also offer site assembled flat pack solar shading kits that are factory manufactured in flat pack form and assembled on site.

 Nationwide Louvre Company are CHAS accredited for Health and Safety. All engineers have CSCS cards and have passed the ECITB passport to safety course.

Nationwide Louvre Company use CAD to produce manufacturing drawing for the customers approval prior to manufacture.

Nationwide Louvre Company have it's own solar control programme which enables then to plot in the position of the building anywhere in the UK and put in the type of shading equipment being proposed allowing then to confirm to the customer the increased shading effect throughout the year.

Correctly designed and installed Solar Shading / Brise Soleil can reduced solar gain during the summer months by as much as 80%.

Brise Soleil / Solar shading can not only reduce solar gain but can reduce solar glare.

Nationwide Louvre Company manufacture and install bespoke brise soleil / solar shading systems to the customer requirements and ensures its products fit to the building and enhance its appearance.

Elliptical blades are available in a number of sizes including 120mm, 165mm, 210mm, 280mm and 300mm.

 

 Fabricated brise soleil panels can be manufactured to facet around a curved building
