Exterior shading devices
Placed adjacent the openings, motorized exterior shading devices stop and reflect the sunlight before it reaches the glazing, directly contributing to the Dynamic Insulation™ of the facade along with managing natural light.
As they are seen from the outside, motorized exterior shading devices play a part in the overall look of the building.
Combined with weather sensors (wind, rain, sun), their life is extended and maintenance becomes easier.
