Aluminium NLC-SOL120E Brise Soleil – New Office Development
Solar Shading – Great Yarmouth
The Brise Soleil / solar shading on this project provided a reduction in solar gain for two new office buildings in Great Yarmouth which reduced the loading on the air conditioning equipment whilst also reducing solar glare entering the office making them a better work environment as well cutting energy usage . 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.
