What is Sun Screening? 

Sun screening is the use of external, shading products, such as fixed blades, louvres or panels, to reduce solar gain before it enters a building.

It is one of the most effective passive strategies for:

  • blocking high-angle sun and glare, while maintaining daylight and visibility.
  • significantly improving cooling efficiency, making buildings more comfortable to work and live in.

Fixed External Sun Screens 

Fixed sun screen systems consist of blades or panels that are designed at optimised angles to control solar exposure throughout the day.  

They are ideal as a long-term performance with minimal maintenance.  

Horizontal Sun Screening Options

We provide horizontal options, depending on façade orientation and 3D solar modelling.  

This ensures effective shading throughout the year. 

Sun Screen Materials & Support Systems 

Our support structures and bracketry are designed to integrate seamlessly with façades, From first fix brackets, pre-assembled bays for second fix and support from our mullion arms. This provides clean detailing and robust long-term performance across all project types.
