Shadoglass Specification
| Product Description: | Fixed or controllable glass louvred external solar shading system, for installation at any angle on the building, designed to reduce solar heat gain. Configuration of the system is determined by the building’s geometry/ requirements for solar shading/ the architect. Buildings Functional Aesthetic Requirements – wide range of louvre profiles & finishes available Extruded Aluminium Fin Profiles – designed to reduce direct radiation while maintaining excellent visibility through the windows. Controllable systems are designed to operate the movable louvres to ensure that the solar shading is effective whilst daylight entry is optimized |
| Systems: | System 1 type LS1-55/LS1-65A/LS1-65B
Glass Louvres = **mm (max 3000mm) long X **mm (max 500mm) wide, depending on windload. Glass is spider fixed to aluminium cast brackets, which are attached to aluminium torsion tube spanning between the mullions. System 2 type LS2-30/LS2-301Glass Louvres = **mm (max 2000mm) long X **mm (max 500mm) wide, depending on windload. Glass is spider fixed to aluminium cast brackets, which are attached to mullions. System 3Glass Louvres = **mm (max 4000mm) long X **mm (max 600mm) wide, depending on windload. Glass is fixed to aluminium extruded side clamps along the short ends of the blade. Blades over 2m long require an additional clamp (centre of blade). Clamps attached to triangular profile extrusion, which in turn are attached to the vertical mullions with stainless steel pins and maintenance free bushes. System 4Glass Louvres = **mm (max 1800mm) long X **mm (max 500mm) wide, depending on windload. Glass is fixed to aluminium brackets clamping around the blades front and rear. Support brackets are mounted to the mullion with a lever arm and control rod to allow the louvre to open as a back-hinged blade. Allows glass louvres to sit in front of the mullion to provide a seamless appearance when viewed from outside. System 5Glass Louvres = **mm (max 2000mm) long X **mm (max 600mm) wide, depending on windload. Glass is fixed to aluminium extruded side clamps along the short ends of the blade. The blades are attached to the vertical mullions with stainless pins and maintenance free bushes. Blades are centrally pivoted. Extrusions are attached to the glass using factory applied structural silicone. The structural silicone is designed so that the glass can not be pulled out under all defined loadings when both sheets are broken. Blades are designed to allow easy removal and replacement of the blades in the event of breakage. Aluminium support frame-work shall consist of unitized panels supported on a floor by floor basis. |
