Control the sun. Keep the architecture.

Exterior shading systems designed around daylight, thermal comfort, privacy and the visual language of the building.

Integrated solar control

Shading is part of the building envelope—not an accessory added at the end.

Large-format glazing brings daylight and openness, but orientation and solar exposure must be managed from the beginning. We coordinate the shading type, installation zone, controls, wind exposure and relationship with the window or facade system.

Contemporary outdoor living space with large aluminium glazing

One coordinated envelope

Glass, shading and controls developed together.

Box positions, guide rails, electrical preparation, drainage and access for maintenance are resolved alongside the window or facade detail. This protects both the performance and the clean architectural result.

Discuss your shading strategy

What guides the selection.

01

Orientation & glass

Solar exposure, glass specification, room use and the balance between protection and useful daylight.

02

Architecture & detail

Visible boxes, concealed pockets, guide positions, colours and the relationship with the facade rhythm.

03

Operation & exposure

Manual or motorised control, automation, wind conditions, maintenance access and safe daily use.
