With the drive against climate change, many people are working towards installing solar gathering systems, which can make use of in the sun’s rays to power heating and other electrical systems. However, energy saving can work in the opposite way as well: by blocking out the solar radiation which is a major cause of heat build-up in the home or office. The type of shading systems that Maple Sun Screening can provide are becoming increasingly popular across the country, as more and more people see the advantages of convenient shading. With the help of innovative brise soleil systems such as internal and external louvres (both glass louvres and metal louvres are used), the concentration of heat within a home can be easily reduced, minimising the need for air conditioning in the hot summer months.
Brise soleil refers to a range of shading techniques popularised by iconic French architect Le Corbusier in several of his designs. Usually, these techniques involve a slatted or punctured frame installed to shield a wall with a large content of glass. This kind of system allows a reduction in the amount of heat allowed inside the building, and thus a decrease in the air conditioning bill. Combined with glass fronting, it allows for the feeling of spaciousness and air while protecting those inside from the elements. And during the cold seasons, these devices can also be used to harness some of the available sun, decreasing the heating bill. The optimum temperature which can be achieved with shading devices is sure to keep clients happy all year round.
Louvres are becoming very popular. This stylish French-inspired shading system uses a series of slatted pieces of glass or metal to offer optimum control over the amount of light and heat allowed into a living or working space. These shading systems also look very sophisticated, and have the important secondary function of preventing water build-up and water ingress to the building. Naturally, nobody likes rain water inside a building – but louvres also shield against the water damage which can speed a property’s deterioration, and severely damage its commercial value.
glass louvres in particular are noticeably attractive, giving a real sense of space and light to the building whether installed inside or outside – and many architects now use dramatic shading systems such as the brise soleil as an integral part of their buildings. At-home shading structures like external louvres can lend a little bit of this elegant style to the most ordinary building, something sure to keep up the spirits of the owner or workers.
