Sunshield designs, manufactures and installs custom blinds. What makes Sunshield's louver systems so unique are the carriers.
Carriers are mounted to the building and hold the louvers. Sunshield's carriers are extremely flexible. In fact, it doesn't matter how a louvre system is installed; vertical, horizontal, angled, upside down. Or in any shape.
The louvre system is integrated into the structure of the home or building using supports. Thus, the architect enjoys enormous freedom in designing the project. Sunshield's architectural blinds follow the lines of the building. For Sunshield, this architectural form is the basis for the design. Function follows form.
The most commonly chosen application is slats on the facade. With these you keep the heat out really well. From sleek aluminum or warm wood. Aluminum is not to worry about. Wood can be treated in different ways, or not. Untreated wood ages under the influence of sunlight. You don't have to worry about it either and you can anticipate this process.
Daylight has a positive effect on our well-being. Therefore, a building is often equipped with an atrium. And a home with a glass roof. You put the louvers on the roof, or you hang them on the inside. And with perforated louvers you maintain the feeling of daylight even with closed louvers. Much used at museums, including world-renowned ones.
The majority of installations feature movable slats. Often connected to a building management system or home automation. However, fixed louvers are also possible. The louvers are then always open at the same angle.
In cooperation with the architect, Sunshield strives to achieve an optimal result for the client. With tailored advice, design and production. Visit sunshield.co.uk/architect, or contact a project consultant.
