regulations Schüco Jansen steel fire protection glazed doors and facades

Schüco ALB - solar shading
Schüco ALB, a range of large louvre solar shading systems is now
available from Schüco. It is an integrated extension of Schücos curtain
walling system although it may be used on any type of building façade.
Schüco ALB is available with a choice of aluminium or glass louvre
blades in a variety of shapes, widths and lengths.
The Schüco ALB system offers glass louvres with either flat glass or
curved laminated glass. One advantage of using glass is that it lends
new interest to the external façade through becoming reflective,
transparent or translucent depending upon the strength and direction of
the sun.
The louvre blades in a Schüco ALB system can be either fixed (Passive)
or movable (Active). Linked to an integrated building management
programme, Schüco ALB Active can contribute significantly to the energy
efficiency of a building.
The louvre blades can be mounted horizontally, vertically or even
diagonally depending upon the orientation of a building and prevailing
weather conditions. It can also be used as a kind of veranda with the
blades mounted on cantilevered outriggers projecting at right angles
from the façade.
One particularly interesting design development is that thanks to
innovative Schüco technology, it is possible for the blades to be curved
in the lateral plane, allowing them to follow the perimeter of curved
façades. This is a design first and offers architects significant extra
freedom for creative expression.
