Solar shading for facades

Large-scale aluminum façades are a frequently requested solution in modern architecture. They give buildings a contemporary look and offer the opportunity to incorporate the surroundings into the building design. Above all, however, they allow plenty of daylight into the interior, minimize the use of artificial lighting and can be used for passive solar heat generation. To prevent too much UV and heat radiation from entering the building and to prevent glare, solar shading can be integrated into the façade from the outside. The partial integration of the heroal VS Z CS zip screen system using the heroal GR 25 guide rail in the heroal C 50 façade system or mullion-transom façades from other manufacturers is a solution that has been thought through down to the last detail for the aesthetic installation of sun protection in mullion-transom façades.

heroal VS Z CS with the heroal GR 25 guide rail was developed to integrate textile screens seamlessly into mullion-transom façades such as heroal C 50. The system can be installed on standard mullion/transom systems with a face width of at least 50 mm as a classic front mounting using standard sun protection bolts. The screw-on base for heroal VS Z CS is provided by an integration profile, which can already be processed with the façade mullions in the workshop - this saves time on the construction site. Due to the installation close to the façade, heroal VS Z CS is partially integrated and wind-resistant up to 145 km/h. At the same time, this achieves a particularly discreet integration of the sun shading system: When the heroal VS Z sun shading system is fully raised, it is not apparent that the façade profiles are fitted with sun shading.
