Solar Shading

Fabricolor offer a range of fixed or operable solar shading systems utilising aerofoil blades manufactured from aluminium or steel. Systems are supplied to site in sub-assembled format for fixing directly to the supporting structure. The supporting structure is normally part of the building structure

Blade Profile Options

The blades are manufactured from aluminium with a minimum thickness of 1.5mm and steel with a minimum thickness of 0.7mm.
