Solex™ Solar Shading

Why Solar Shading?

Radiant heat from the sun passes through glass and is absorbed by building elements and furnishings, which then re-radiate it. Re-radiated heat has a different wavelength and cannot pass back out through the glass as easily. In most climates, 'trapping' radiant heat is desirable for winter heating, but must be avoided in summer.

Unprotected glass is often the greatest source of unwanted heat gain in a building. Shading glass to reduce this heat gain is critical. We offer a comprehensive range of external solar shading systems with standard profiles. We also provide bespoke solutions to present strategically mounted systems to enhance either simple or complex building façades.

SOLINEAR Solar Shading Systems convey many beneficial effects to the building, reducing energy demands and providing compliance with current regulations. Light, heat and glare are also controlled to create an efficient, safe and comfortable working environment.
