Modern architecture increasingly incorporates large panoramic glazed surfaces, filling spaces with natural light and creating a feeling of openness. At the same time, such façades pose a significant challenge in terms of protection from the sun, heat, and weather influences. Brise Soleil B220 were developed specifically to meet these demands – for buildings where traditional shading systems are not sufficient.
What Are Brise Soleil and Why Are They Essential for Large Façades?
Brise soleil are external shading systems with aluminum louvers installed in front of glazed surfaces. Their main advantage is that they block solar energy before it reaches the glass, significantly reducing interior heat gain.
For large glazed surfaces, this is especially important because they:
- prevent overheating of interior spaces,
- reduce glare,
- protect the glass from weather impacts,
- improve the building’s energy efficiency.
Why Choose Brise Soleil B220?
The B220 model is designed for the largest and most demanding projects. Its key advantage is exceptional structural load capacity, allowing spans of up to 3,200 mm without intermediate supports.
This means:
- unobstructed views from inside,
- fewer structural elements on the façade,
- clean, modern architectural lines.
With 220 mm wide louvers, the B220 clearly communicates robustness and technical sophistication.
Complete Blackout Even at Large Dimensions
One of the greatest advantages of the B220 brise soleil is the ability to completely darken a space. The louvers are equipped with special overlapping edges that prevent light from passing between individual elements when closed.
Even for large glazed surfaces, this ensures the so-called blackout effect, which is ideal for:
- bedrooms,
- hotel rooms,
- conference and presentation spaces,
- home cinemas.
Durability You Can Trust
Brise Soleil B220 ranks among the strongest shading systems on the market. Due to their larger dimensions and thicker aluminum walls, they are highly resistant to external impacts.
They can withstand:
- hurricane-force wind gusts,
- heavy rain and hail,
- mechanical loads.
At the same time, closed brise soleil act as an additional anti-burglary protection, creating a solid metal barrier in front of the glazed surfaces.
Adaptation to Architecture and Complete Light Control
The B220 system allows horizontal or vertical installation, as well as fixed or movable configurations. For movable systems, louvers can rotate up to approximately 150°, giving the user precise control over:
- light levels,
- shade,
- privacy,
- outward views.
Operation can be manual, motorized, or integrated with smart home systems.
Less Heat, More Comfort, and Lower Costs
Thanks to deep shading and airflow between the louvers and glass, Brise Soleil B220 effectively prevents the greenhouse effect. In summer, they significantly reduce the need for air conditioning, while in winter, open louvers allow passive solar heat gain.
The result is:
- a more comfortable indoor climate,
- lower energy costs,
- increased long-term value of the building.
Brise Soleil B220 – When Size Demands a Premium Solution
Brise Soleil B220 are not just external shading devices, but a strategic architectural solution for modern buildings with large glazed surfaces. They combine strength, elegance, and advanced technology in a system that provides long-term comfort, safety, and energy efficiency.
