vivienz Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Pending a blog update, here's a picture of my new brise soleil that had the rails and fins fitted today. Details will follow, but it's too pretty not to post a picture. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragg987 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Very nice, and just the perfect day to test the effect too. A bit of ageing and it should fit the aesthetic of the stone and slate around it. The fins seem quite wide - does it block out a lot of the light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blocks out plenty but you can stil see easily to the outside. That face of the building is almost due south, so the brise is to reduce solar gain from that window as much as anything. The other windows on that face will either have blinds or, in due course, plants in front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivienz Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 For those interested, I sourced the brise soleil from Contrasol Ltd. Up until recently, they only did commercial work but they are now setting up a domestic branch. Very nice people, I would use them again. Richard Hunt is the man to speak to.

vivienz Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 No, it's Tier System by CED Stone, via Sydenhams. Very easy to apply, no specialist labour needed. Almost like giant tiling. I have used Autumn from their range of Contemporary Panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
