Why Solar Shading?

Unprotected glass to an East, South or West facing facade will allow solar energy to directly impact and transmit through the glazing into the building's internal environment where it will become 'trapped' and significantly increase the 'summer-time' cooling load required to produce comfortable working conditions for the occupants.

A correctly designed external solar shading structure will prevent the suns direct solar radiation element from reaching the glass windows therefore reduce the solar gain to the building space and significantly reducing the cooling load required to achieve the design comfort conditions for the occupants.

During the winter months solar shading systems allow solar energy to directly impact the glass windows and so maybe used to contribute to heating the workspace therefore reducing the building heating load and conserving energy.

Solinear can design solar shading structures to assist in reducing the building summer and winter energy requirements.   Using the latest computer software we can determine the optimum shading requirements to any building facade and through calculation of 'shadow masks' produced from the various shading structures available we can offer the very best, practical and most cost effective solar shading solution. 

Our comprehensive range of 'stock-ready' solar shading products allows us to provide a fast response to any brise soleil enquiry with design guidance, product selection and quotation for our recommended solution.

We also provide bespoke solutions to present strategically mounted systems to enhance either simple or complex building façades.
