Sunbreakers B140 – Elliptical Slats for Premium Protection

Sunbreakers B140 represent the pinnacle of external shading systems. They are the ideal solution for modern buildings where robust protection against weather and precise control of light are essential. Thanks to their elliptical shape and exceptional structural strength, the B140 is not just a shading system, but a lasting investment in the safety and comfort of your home or commercial space.

Why choose the Briseaux B140 system?

The B140 system stands out for its innovative geometry. The 140 mm wide elliptical slat is designed to span up to 2000 mm while maintaining exceptional stability.

Innovation: Overlapping end caps for blackout

The main advantage of the B140 model over other briseaux systems is the special overlapping end caps at the slat ends. This engineering solution ensures the slats fully overlap and seal when closed.

The strongest shading on the market: Wind and hail resistance

When it comes to safety, Briseaux B140 makes no compromises. They are among the strongest shading constructions available:

Flexible installation and operation

The system is modular, giving architects and investors complete freedom in facade design.

Installation options

Advanced control and rotation

The rotation angle for movable systems reaches up to 150 degrees, allowing precise light regulation and multiple outward viewing angles.

Choose your preferred drive type:

Technical specifications and materials

Briseaux B140 are made from high-quality extruded aluminum, ensuring long life without rust and minimal maintenance.

Effective heat prevention

Briseaux are the most effective protection against heat. Mounted at a distance from the glass and allowing air circulation between slats, they prevent the greenhouse effect. Heat stays outside while your space remains comfortably cool, significantly reducing air conditioning costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the main advantage of the B140 model compared to other brise-soleil systems?
The key advantage is the full blackout function. Most brise-soleil systems are designed only for shading, whereas the B140, thanks to special “lips” on the louvers, allows the louvers to close tightly over one another and completely block incoming light. This makes them suitable even for bedrooms, where total darkness is desired.

 

2. Are B140 brise-soleil suitable for windy areas (strong bora winds)?
Absolutely. They are among the structurally strongest shading systems on the market. They are tested for wind resistance exceeding 200 km/h. Thanks to their rigid construction, they do not rattle or deform in strong winds, making them an ideal choice for coastal and highly exposed locations.

 

3. Can B140 brise-soleil be installed vertically?
Yes. The B140 model supports both horizontal and vertical installation. Vertical installation is very popular in modern architecture and is extremely effective at blocking low-angle morning or evening sun.

 

4. How wide can a single brise-soleil module be?
Each louver can span up to 2,000 mm (2 meters) without intermediate support. For wider glazed surfaces, multiple modules can be installed side by side and operated synchronously.

 

5. Do brise-soleil systems require maintenance?
Very little. They are made of extruded aluminum and powder-coated, making them resistant to corrosion and UV radiation. Maintenance consists only of occasional cleaning with water and a mild detergent to remove dust and maintain their aesthetic appearance.

 

6. Can brise-soleil be integrated with a smart home system?
Yes. The motorized drive of the B140 brise-soleil is compatible with most smart home systems. This allows the brise-soleil to close automatically when the sun hits the façade or open in the morning to wake you with natural daylight.
