The sunscreen system is a wall in which the external covering is constituted by terracotta materials which are dry-assembled and installed through mechanical fixing to form a grilled screen, its effectiveness can be modulated by adjusting the distance between the parts.
The sunscreen system is an important architectural solution for the thermo-climatic regulation of the building.
The use of large, glass covered surfaces are today being called into question due to overheating problems as a result of direct exposure to the sun's rays during the summer months, and consequently high air-conditioning costs, and higher levels of discomfort for users.
The sunscreen, produced with different sized and shaped terracotta parts which conform to precise aesthetical demands, can be adapted for each project in order to create light and shade effects, to filter the sun's rays and also to guarantee the correct normative light/volume levels.
The sunscreen system can also be used as screens for the framework zones of a building, for external staircases and open galleries, or for purely aesthetical function.
