SOLAR CONTROL AND REDUCTION OF THERMAL IMPACT ON THE BUILDING

The use of a sunscreen results in a limited temperature increase inside the building and a reduction of the use of air-conditioning.
An external screen is indeed a more effective instrument of solar control compared to an internal screen, as solar radiation is, during summer months, intercepted prior to reaching the glass surfaces, avoiding the greenhouse effect and the ensuing overheating of the environments. Internal screens, on the contrary, allow the light to pass through the glass, requiring finally the removal of the heat accumulated inside the building by means of mechanical ventilation or air-conditioning.

PROTECTION AGAINST ULTRAVIOLET RAYS AND GLARE

sunscreens protect objects located close to the windows against harmful ultraviolet rays and persons against glare

SHADOWING, COMFORTABLE LIGHTING CONDITIONS

The determination of the daylight factor is a key parameter to define the quality of the light in domestic or working surroundings. During engineering, the quantity of natural light and the level of illumination in the project environment need to be established through specific analysis.
The sunscreen allows regulating the light flow transmitted by the open spaces, making the premises more comfortable for those using them.
