EXTERNAL SUN PROTECTION
The need for sun protection A sun-oriented building or one with large windows on the south-side has many benefits. During the autumn, winter and spring, you can enjoy all of the benefits of the incoming rays of sunshine. In the summertime, though, the building can be susceptible to overheating and occupants may experience uncomfortable light refractions. Structural sun protection systems and screens are used to help protect the building from overheating and to block the sunrays before they hit the glass surfaces. The unwanted heat and the disturbing glare does not get inside.
There is no chance of people being blinded or having to deal with unpleasant reflections on the TV or computer monitors, yet you still maintain visual contact with the environment outside. The outdoor view is important and our products respect that. The Fixscreen was developed by RENSON® Sun protection-Screens and is the first external screen in the world that is truly wind tight. Thanks to an ingenious zip system, the fabric is wind tight in every position and can be insect-proof in the closed position. It is a simple principle by which the sun-protecting fabric has a special trim with a symmetri- cal zip which holds the entire structure firmly in the two side channels. Fixscreen, the technological performer in terms of comfort and ease of use, can be used in residential, of- fices and project buildings.
