Performant Products

To ensure the most cost effective solution external shading has to be dynamic and automatically controlled. That is,  it is able to react to changing weather and light conditions. In position in the cooling season  to prevent solar gain and raised in the heating season on those bright sunny days. Free heat from the sun in winter and raised on those dull, cloudy days in summer to maximise the available daylight.

​

When in the working position it is not using energy just a few minutes in the day to adjust to the weather conditions. Unlike air-con and heating that use it constantly. Thus by comparison a sustainable passive solution that saves in its lifetime a multiple of carbon used in manufacture and installation.

​

A multiple of 57 times in our study of External Venetian Blinds. There are very few building products that save even as much as their cost of manufacture, ours do and are an investment that pays back many times over.

​

Stopping the heat before it gets to the glass in summer and letting it in winter is basic science. As the motors and mechanisms are static for most of the time maintenance costs are minimal by comparison.
