You may have been considering adding a solar shading system to your building for a while now, but need the final push to make the leap. A worthwhile investment on multiple levels, solar shading is an addition to any project that is modern, practical, and wholly beneficial for so many reasons. We’ll run through just a few of them here.
1. Attractive to customers and clients
Highly distinctive solar shading systems make an instant impact for all the right reasons. Emulating sails, shutters or fins, depending on which material you select, they easily flow with the aesthetic of most – if not all – buildings, adding a stunning layer of architecture that doesn’t just look good, but is functional too.
Moreover, a well-designed solar shading system allows a structure to blend more naturally with its environment. In an urban setting, it might be preferable to go for a mesh or aluminium system, providing a futuristic, metallic façade that flows with the more muted shades of life in a commercial hub. On the other hand, a timber system could provide a refreshing and uplifting reprieve from the seemingly endless steel structures of a concrete jungle.
2. Unique and bespoke
The aesthetics of your architectural solar shading system and the bespoke service offered by Solinear come hand in hand. If you’re not sure what the most suitable selection is, Solinear’s expertise is there for exactly that purpose. The option to have a completely bespoke design and build is precisely what makes a solar shading system so special: still not commonplace on most buildings, whatever the construction, it’s likely to bring it to a new level of contemporary, and individual architecture.
3. Plenty of shade
One of the most practical elements of incorporating a solar shading system is its offering of shade. Ideal if you’re a glazed, south-facing building in particular, solar shading allows you to keep the internal spaces cool while maintaining a healthy level of natural daylight throughout. In this sense, solar shading is also great for the planet, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of a building throughout its life, lessening cooling loads in summer and heating requirements in winter.
If the building in question is an office or learning environment, solar shading is particularly useful in order to keep morale high, as intense sunlight and glare is much less likely to interfere with desk space. Additionally, going back to the aesthetics of architectural solar shading systems, their striking and innovative appearance is likely to be a bonus feature for a company or university, denoting a modern mind set and forward thinking, with a sleek construction yet extremely practical features.
