Lightweight shading makes window cleaning easy
Sunvizor system, the latest solar shading technology from specialists Levolux, is lightweight, streamlined and hinged for easy window cleaning.
The Universal Curtain Walling Bracket eliminates the risk of interstitial condensation forming where the bracket punctures the mullion.
This stops mould growth that could harm the fixings used to install the system.
It also provides a vital barrier to audible noise energy being transmitted into the building structure, which can be an issue with Brise Soleil systems.
By using various materials with different levels of conductivity, the New Universal Curtain Walling Bracket acts as both a thermal and as an acoustic break.
According to independent heat loss tests carried out at Bath University, the new bracket performs 70% better than existing standard curtain walling brackets.
Sales and Marketing Director David Gordon said: "We believe the new bracket to be one of the most significant developments we have ever made".
