ARCHITECTURAL SOLAR SHADING: FUNCTIONAL AND AESTHETIC Now that we are making buildings even more airtight, using thicker insulation materials and the number of hot days is increasing noticeably every year, the search for alternatives to keep indoor temperatures under control is more than ever a ‘hot topic’. Do you want to counteract the warming of your building as much as possible in a natural and energy-efficient way, and preferably as aesthetically as possible? Forget white roofs, sunproof glazing or (roller) blinds, and choose architectural solar shading – in combination with intensive ventilation...

DUCOSUNSTRUCTURAL SOLAR SHADING With Duco’s solar shading, there are numerous options. There are systems with fixed and adjustable louvre blades, discrete and striking designs, and horizontal and vertical lines. Your ultimate choice of solar shading system will depend on your available budget and the technical possibilities, and of course on your personal taste. But whatever system you choose: Duco guarantees an optimum balance between as little heat from the sun as possible and as much daylight as possible. External solar shading systems in which the aluminium louvre blades are locked into place...

INSTALLING THE SYSTEMS ^ Horizontally Horizontally installed solar shading systems keep the heat out at warmer times of the year (May-September), while allowing the heat from the low sun in during the colder months (October-April). This ensures optimum energy gain. TESTINGSTRENGTH The strength of external solar shading systems can best be determined with wind tunnel tests, which generate maximum air flows. Duco has its solar shading systems tested at the von Karman Institute in Brussels, a leading international independent organisation for high-tech research into fluid dynamics. All the DucoSun...
