The Benefits of External Sun Shading from Louvreclad

With energy becoming more expensive, the Australian Government and local authorities now encourage the use of passive cooling design strategies. Passive design is also supported and encouraged by NCC Australian Standards so now is the time to embrace these sustainable solutions.

A well-designed Solar-Shading system should improve the internal environment to provide greater comfort for occupants while reducing cooling loads and minimizing energy costs with the added benefit of contributing to the building's architectural appearance. However, different facades require different external shading. By analysing the sun angles, we can design project specific sun shading applications that protect windows from unwanted heat gain in summer, maximize natural light and allow for heat gain in winter.

Louvreclad's sun shading solutions are typically constructed from a combination of proprietary components and custom designed fixing systems to suit the design. This means every product is highly versatile. From the start, Louvreclad works tirelessly to turn a concept into reality - the best way possible. We achieve this by focusing on the detail, sharing our industry and product knowledge, and setting realistic expectations from the outset. Our highly experienced design team will work with you to ensure the design brief is met with the most economical use of materials and efficient installation methodology.

Get in touch with one of our consultants at the design stage and ensure the success of your project. Whether it is a highly bespoke & complex brief that requires testing & prototyping or a simple design needing clarification around detailing. To achieve a high-end premium finish, attention-to-detail is essential.
