The primary functions of external Solar Shading are to reduce the thermal heat gain in a building
as well as controlling the levels of direct light.
This has the positive effect of reducing the buildings energy costs and improving the working
environment inside. Avon Solar Control offers a full range of systems to achieve this important
function.
The standard range of systems provides a proven and effective solution for the majority of solar
shading needs. However, the range is being constantly updated to provide the latest innovations
and allows the ability to meet bespoke requirements.
In addition to solar shading, Avon Solar Control also offers various architectural louvres to
provide active, screening or acoustic panels that can be installed in a range of prepared openings,
from glazed to blockwork.
Avon Solar Control systems can be fully integrated into the building facades, which allows flexibility
for the architectural design of the building. With early consultation the right design of solar
shading can also have the potential benefit of reducing the specification and the cost for the glass.
The systems are designed with aluminium and stainless steel components to allow for minimum maintenance.
Aluminium components can be anodised or polyester powder coated to blend in with the building design
or provide a coloured feature.
