Brise Soleil Sunshading

Façade BS
A wide variety of elliptical blades ranging in size from 100mm to 450mm form part of the Façade BS solar shading system. Included with these blades is a large selection of fixing brackets allowing the architect flexibility when designing a feature façade. The fixing plates enable designers to choose the desired pitch and the positioning of the blades within the limits of the structural integrity of the chosen blades. Fixing either horizontal or vertical panels of Brise Soleil to any of the APA Façade systems is made easy with the use of a specially designed bracket, which has been fully tested for load bearing capacity by the Centre for Window & Cladding Technology (CWCT). The Façade BS system has been dynamically tested for a prolonged period of time using an aero engine. The system was subjected to winds of between 50Km to 160Km per hour for a prolonged period of time with no damage of any kind recorded. Façade BS is manufactured from extruded aluminium therefore colour, structural stability and longevity are not issues.
