Solar Shading – Office Development, Great Yarmouth

Solar Shading – Great Yarmouth

The solar shading on this project provided reduction in solar gain for two new office buildings in Great Yarmouth. The two buildings had shading on both the ground and first floor. 120mm elliptical aluminium blades were used on this project and the panels were supported by 10mm thick aluminium brackets that were fixed the support steelwork prior to installation of cladding. The cladding contractor then profiled around the fins of the primary brackets and NLC returned at a later date to install the panels. Cover plates were supplied with the panels to cover the cut in the cladding and to ensure a clean finish around the bracket fins.

Vertical Brise Soleil – Chinnor, Oxfordshire

NLC supplied and installed the Louvre Screen and Brise Soleil shown below at The Sanderum Centre in Oxfordshire. The Brise Soleil brackets were installed directly onto the face of the window frames so that panels came down vertically approximately 200mm in front of the window. The shading was designed to wrap around all three sizes of the glazed entrance area with the use of welded corners. 100mm Z pofile Louvre Screen blades were used for the screen and they were fixed back to a box section support frame via. mullions and slotted fixings cleats. All louvre screen components including the box section support frame were fabricated and installed by NLC.
