Motorised Louvres Blinds
SURE SHADE® External motorised operable and retractable aluminium blinds / louvres
Types & Construction (external venetian blinds)
Background
External motorised operable and retractable aluminium louvres or external venetian blinds have been globally tested and universally found to be the best method of reflecting solar heat , while at the same time, allowing natural light, through the glazing (windows).
The percentage of solar heat reflected by external motorised operable and retractable aluminium louvres is dependent upon the reflectivity of the slat colour with the colours most reflective, silver and white, resulting in an 87% decrease of solar heat entering through the glazing.
External motorised operable and retractable aluminium louvres allow natural light to penetrate through the glazing while removing the solar heat and solar glare and are, in this regard, unique to all other shade building products.
Other methods of solar heat minimisation used in or on glazing ; reflective film, e glass, nano particle surfacing, single tint and double tint etc. can only achieve partial success to the detriment other aspects of glazing. All such methods permanently degrade light transmission, diminish the natural internal light levels (lux measurement) inside the building and fail to overcome the central issue, that of removing the solar heat before the glazing and frames.
Similarly external shade products such as window roller shutters, fabric roller blinds on wire guide, shade cloth, shutters etc. are either highly wind unstable and/or permanently degrade light transmission, diminish the natural internal light levels (lux measurement) inside the building and fail the European norm for the requirement of 40% vision out with shade on the glazing.
