Brisole B400 – Giants Among Shading Systems for Spans up to 5 MetersBrisole B400 push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of external shading. With a massive elliptical slat of 400 mm width, this system is designed for the most demanding architectural projects where monumental appearance and shading of extreme surfaces with a single element are required. This is a solution for buildings that accept no compromise.
One Slat, Five Meters of SpanThe B400 system is an engineering masterpiece that can bridge spans up to 5000 mm (5 meters) without intermediate supports or guides.
Pure Architecture: Such a large span allows shading of entire floors or huge glass atriums with uninterrupted lines, giving the building a touch of prestige and massiveness. Structural Strength: Despite the length, the special inner reinforcement of the slat prevents bending and ensures stability in all weather conditions. Complete Functionality: Darkening & SealingEven at such dimensions, the B400 system maintains the functionality of smaller models. The slats are equipped with overlapping ears ensuring that the slats interlock when closed.
Result: Despite the giant size, complete darkening and light blocking can be achieved. Protective Shield for the BuildingDue to their width and aluminum wall thickness, Brisole B400 act as a second façade (double-skin façade).
Extreme Wind Resistance: The system is tested for winds of over 200 km/h. This is crucial for high-rise buildings. Protection Against Hail and Impacts: The 400 mm slat is an impenetrable barrier against hail, branches, and flying debris. Anti-Burglary Protection: When closed, the system forms a solid aluminum wall that prevents intrusion. Flexibility for Modern FacadesThe system is ideal for vertical (cladding) or horizontal installation. Due to its scale, B400 is commonly used in office towers, sports halls, airports, and luxury villas with large glass surfaces.
Advanced ControlMoving such massive slats requires reliable technology. The rotation angle reaches up to 150 degrees.
Recommended Control Methods:
Motorized Drive (Recommended): Due to the weight, motorized control is the standard choice. Powerful motors ensure quiet and smooth operation. Smart Home Integration: Automation based on wind and sunlight is crucial for climate management in large buildings. Fixed Installation: The slats are fixed at a chosen angle as a permanent architectural element. Manual Operation: Possible, but less common due to size and weight. Technical SpecificationsThe material is high-quality extruded aluminum, resistant to corrosion and UV radiation.
Energy Efficiency of Large-Scale ShadingBrisole B400 are the most effective tool for passive cooling of large buildings. They block solar heat far from the glazing. The large size creates a wide air channel enabling strong upward airflow, cooling the building without excessive air-conditioning. |
