Summary

Two Point Seven Facades Ltd provided a full turn-key package.  We performed the design, manufacture and installation of aluminium canopy Brise Soleil system, providing Solar Shading to offices and warehouse, reducing Solar Heat Gains. 

Building Description

Construction of new units complete with extensive parking availability, two-story office and 3000sq ft manufacturing space.  The south elevation is entirely curtain walling and bleeds from office to shop floor.

The extent of curtain walling meant that there had to be suitable consideration of methods to reduce heat gains.  Amongst our Brise Soleil, solar film was introduced into the curtain walling to further reduce solar gain.

External Works

Two Point Seven Facades specified the use of our 200mm extruded aluminium elliptical aerofoil Louvres, set at 230mm pitch and projecting 1300mm from the curtain walling, to provide adequate shading to the entire elevation.  The Brise Soleil system was built into panels for direct connection back to first fix aluminium brackets.
