The blade or fins allow low-level sun to enter a building in the mornings, evening and during winter but cut out direct summer sun, which rises to a maximum angle of 62 degrees in the UK.Brise soleil systems can be made up of blades or take the form of solid shelves (or even walkways) and are constructed from a range of materials, including aluminium and sustainable wood.However, controlling the interior temperature of glazed buildings can be a complicated issue.

What is brise soleil and why is it needed? Renson gebruikt cookies om uw surfgedrag op deze website gemakkelijker te maken. With a higher position of the sun, or on cloudy days, the sun protection fabrics can be opened, allowing a good free view again.The dimensioning of your optimal sun protection, will take into account the varying positions of the sun, the orientation of the façade, the dimensions of the windows to protect you and your specific wishes regarding management of natural sunlight, preventing unpleasant reflections or risk of glare.The visible parts of the aluminium sun protection screens (box, bottom rail and side channels) and structural sun protection (profiles, blades) are available in anodised aluminium or in all standard RAL colours. '"sun breaker"'), is an architectural feature of a building that reduces heat gain within that building by deflecting sunlight. Of all the different types of architectural façade and solar screening systems, the one that seems to capture people’s imagination is brise soleil.The name ‘brise soleil’ comes from the French word ‘sun breaker’. Timber brise soleil systems typically fade or weather, which may be part of the design intention, and requires fire retardancy treatment (especially for buildings more than 18m high).Powder-coating and anodising give aluminium endless design possibilities – it can even be designed to look like timber brise soleil. Here, shade is often provided by an internal window blind system.Horizontal brise soleil ‘shelves’ will not work as well on east or west elevations as the angle of the sun is lower ― sunlight will pass underneath. These permanent sun-shading structures range from simple patterns of concrete fins to more elaborate wing-like mechanisms that can be adjusted based on different solar angles throughout the day and across the seasons. In these cases, multiple portable systems are possible, such as a sun protection with swivelling blades. Today, brise-soleils are often used to shade large glass façades or expansive glazing. Brise Soleil. The degree of free view is determined by the type of product you apply.In many situations, the combination of requirements in terms of desired sun protection fabrics, light and transparency, does not permit the choice of a fixed sun protection structure. And what are the most important things to think about when designing or specifying brise soleil systems?Send us your project details and our experts will provide an estimateRequest a project consultant to call you today to discuss your project The dimensions which Renson® advises for your louver in the attached table, are calculated 75% of the total incident heat radiation is kept out by your louver during the summer.Where in addition to overheating during the summer, blinding light should also be avoided throughout the whole year, vertical sun protection screens offer the solution.

Le brise soleil orientable vertical sera le plus utile pour les orientations Est et Ouest car il va permettre une protection efficace même pour le soleil très bas. The orientation of a building is also a factor – different elevations will have varying levels of solar gain.Unlike most other architectural features and building products that respond to location, altitude, climate, geology, drainage and human factors, brise soleil systems respond to a simple, never-changing fact of the universe: the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Brise soleil can be used to allow low-level sun to enter a building in the mornings, evenings and during winter when it can help heat and light the building, but to shade higher sun during the middle of the day and during the summer which tends to be ‘hotter’, brighter and less beneficial. Also known as louvres, they can prevent large areas of glazing and curtain walling from overheating during the summer months. It travels in an arc, and reaches its highest point in the south (unless you’re in the southern hemisphere).As a result, brise soleil systems are most effective on south-facing elevations. More recently, vertical Brise soleil have become popular. It's made of 72 steel fins that range from 26 to 105 feet in length. Sometimes they mean that it's just really, really impressive. Because brise soleil systems are also used as architectural ‘art’ to bring the exterior of buildings to life.
