Effective management of the sun's rays

Modern construction nowadays must meet three main criteria: functionality, aesthetics, and, in the face of ever-increasing energy costs, above all, economy. Most of us do not realize that a building loses heat energy through three main routes: ventilation, through the walls and through the window frames. The latter elements, in particular, contribute to the loss of up to 25% of heat, and in the summer they let in about 60% of the sun's radiant energy, resulting in overheating and the need for additional cooling expenses. That is why it is so important during the design of a building to choose the right sunshade, which will not only improve the energy balance of the building, but also eliminate the glare effect that can arise on monitor screens or provide users with the right microclimate necessary for work and leisure.

The following solutions are available in Aluprof's offer:

External blinds

Façade blinds are extremely practical sunshades that effectively protect interiors from excessive heat while providing appropriate optical comfort. A distinctive feature of this type of products is the freedom of adjustment of the angle of the slats, which allows you to choose the appropriate degree of shading, and thus individual management by the user. In addition, aesthetically shaped lamellas in combination with aluminum structural elements (cassettes and guides) give the facade a modern yet original look. The well-thought-out design of this type of solution also allows the creation of larger structures, which makes them often used for large glazing. Thanks to this, blinds are perfect for both public buildings and residential investments. Aluprof offers four variants of facade blinds: adaptive, self-supporting and two flush-mounted. In addition, an innovative solution combining the SkyFlow facade blind system with the Aluprof MB-SR50N mullion and transom facade system has been designed. It was created primarily with a view to object realizations, where full harmony between technical and aesthetic aspects plays a special role. With these considerations in mind, special pressure strips have been designed for the façade mullions, allowing the installation of the façade filling, as well as masking strips, which at the same time act as a guide for the façade shutter. Thanks to this, the decision to install this type of shield can be made at a later stage of the project, when the facade is already installed in the building. The entire mechanism of the sunshade is discreetly hidden behind an aesthetic cassette made of extruded aluminum.

Sun visors of the screen type

Screen type sunshades are a very functional solution and are eagerly used in both public buildings and residential buildings. The main advantage of this type of products is the protection of rooms from intense sunlight through the use of specialized technical fabrics. In addition, they protect interiors from the gaze of unwanted people, while maintaining good visibility to the outside. These solutions also provide an effective optical barrier to light entering the room, minimizing the glare effect that can form on monitor screens. With appropriately selected fabric, they are also a stylish addition that will give the facility a unique character. It is worth remembering that a properly selected screen system can additionally act as a mosquito net, effectively protecting the premises from the presence of insects. Three systems are available: SkyRoll Zip, SkyRoll Classic and SkyRoll Eco. Particularly noteworthy here is the Zip system. It is extremely innovative due to the use of technology borrowed from the zipper mechanism on the edges of the fabric. Specially designed two-part guides are thus directly integrated into the fabric, which guarantees maximum sealing and protection of the interior from insects. In addition, the solution used here ensures that the fabric is properly tensioned and firmly seated in the guide, which protects it especially from gusty winds.

External roller shutters

External roller shutters are still an extremely practical but underrated solution. In unfavorable atmospheric conditions, they are a barrier that effectively protects the interiors of rooms from heat loss. In turn, in summer they perfectly protect against overheating of interiors at the same time reducing the use of air-conditioning equipment, thereby reducing building operating costs. Roller shutter installed in accordance with the guidelines of the system provider also has very good acoustic properties, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the perception of noise from outside. Roller shutter systems offered by Aluprof can additionally be integrated with a mosquito net, which guarantees effective protection of rooms from insects. In addition, a properly selected external roller shutter system can provide protection against burglary (SAFETY PREMIUM systems in the RC3 class and SAFETY PLUS in the RC2 class). Roller shutter curtains most often consist of profiles made of high-quality aluminum sheet filled with foam, with special two-layer varnish coatings in the PU/PA system. This makes them characterized by increased resistance to abrasion and weathering. Also available are profiles made of extruded aluminum, characterized by greater rigidity and stability, and plastic profiles, used depending on the selected system. A wide range of colors will certainly allow you to match roller shutters to any façade. Aluprof offers roller shutters in adaptive, flush-mounted and overhead systems.

Aluminum pergolas

A novelty in Aluprof's offer are extremely durable and resistant aluminum pergolas MB-OPENSKY 140 and MB-OPENSKY 120*, which can be not only a functional canopy for large areas, but also a stylish addition, fitting perfectly into the trends of modern architecture. The pergola works well not only in the case of single-family housing as a development of terraces or garden spaces, but also in commercial buildings, being a modern and practical element of roofing summer gardens in cafes or restaurants. Thanks to the possibility of using side screens such as screens or sliding glass panels, the pergola can be used regardless of the prevailing weather conditions. In turn, the movable canopy allows the angle of the slats to be changed from 0 to 135°, which not only allows full control of sunlight access, but also allows natural ventilation and free air circulation.
