Skyvane® is a horizontally projecting brise soleil system which can be customised to suit different visions and requirements.
unpacking Skyvane® Brise Soleil System
Skyvane® brise soleil system is a prime example of advanced solar shading technology. Engineered with the comfort of building occupants in mind, Skyvane® offers optimal solar shading through its innovative design. It’s a horizontally projecting brise soleil system which can be specified with either aerofoil or rectangular profiles, allowing architects to align it with their design visions.
One of the standout features of Skyvane® brise soleil system is its modular construction. The cassette panels can be pre-assembled off-site which allows for a more streamlined installation process. This approach reduces on-site labour and minimises the risk of errors, ensuring a faster and more efficient build.
Modular construction also offers greater flexibility as Skyvane® panels can be customised to meet the specific requirements of a project, with rectangular blades ranging from 100 to 500 mm in size. This adaptability makes Skyvane® suitable for a wide range of building types and architectural styles.
aesthetic and functional options
The blades are constructed from high-grade aluminium, specifically aluminium 6063 T6 and aluminium 6082 T6, which offer excellent strength and durability. These materials are also lightweight, making them ideal for use in solar shading systems.
Skyvane® brise soleil system offers a range of customisation options to meet aesthetic requirements. The blades are available in various colours such as timber-effect PPC, allowing architects to choose shades that complement the building's overall design with the added benefits of aluminium.
the role of concealed fixings in design and performance
Another key feature of Skyvane® brise soleil system is its use of concealed fixings. The support structure and sidearms are designed to hide fixings to create a clean and seamless appearance. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the system but also contributes to its overall performance as concealed fixings play a crucial role in ensuring the structural integrity of the brise soleil system. By hiding the fixings, the system is protected from external elements such as wind and rain, reducing the risk of corrosion and wear.
Additionally, the concealed design supports various span widths, making Skyvane® suitable for different building sizes and configurations. This attention to detail in both design and performance sets Skyvane® apart as a superior shading solution.
By carefully selecting the right materials and finishes, architects can ensure that Skyvane® brise soleil system not only meets the aesthetic and functional requirements of their project but also delivers long-lasting performance.
