Brise Soleil

Brise soleil is an external solar shading system — typically aluminium fins or blades fitted above or across glazing — that blocks high summer sun to reduce overheating and glare while keeping the view.

Solar shading reduces solar heat gain, cutting cooling loads and improving comfort. It helps commercial buildings meet overheating and energy targets such as Part O and BREEAM.

Yes — fin depth, spacing and angle are designed around the building’s orientation and the sun path to optimise shading without over-darkening interiors.
