Solar protection

The reduction of the cooling loads by means of solar protection integrated into the facade can result in a significant improvement in the energy efficiency of a building.

WICTEC 50 glass facades have been supplemented with a special interface for this purpose. Guide rails for solar protection are integrated into special cover profiles. No posterior fitting of fixing bolts in the mullions is required, and additional or subsequent profile processing on the construction site is also unnecessary.


The advantages of integrated solar protection at a glance:

• Facade system and solar protection provided as one integrated unit
• Excellent visual integration of the solar protection guide into the facade design
• Suitable for use with high wind speeds (up to 25 m/s)
• No lateral solar penetration
• Simple planning with WICTOP software. No need for new measurements on site or collection of data from technical drawings
• Modifications in the facade construction are automatically transferred to the measurement of the solar protection
• Reliable and consistent manufacture and simple installation
