Solar Shading - exterior solar shading made from aluminium - SAPA

SAPA by Hydro offers aluminium solar shading systems for modern buildings where comfort, energy efficiency and architectural design are key priorities. With tailored solutions, solar gain can be controlled while enhancing the visual appearance of the façade.SAPA solar shading solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with the building’s other aluminium systems and can be adapted to suit both architectural and functional requirements. The result is an effective solar shading solution that becomes a natural part of the building’s design.

Aluminium Solar Shading for Modern Façades

Aluminium solar shading can help reduce direct solar radiation and create a more comfortable indoor environment. By positioning the shading externally, sunlight can be controlled before it reaches the glazing, while also becoming a distinctive architectural feature of the façade.SAPA Solar Shading 4550 is available in several designs, including Wing, Box and Bow. These different shapes provide architects with the flexibility to create varied expressions and adapt the shading solution to the character of the building. Bow, for example, features a curved profile that gives the façade a lighter appearance and can reflect sunlight to create softer, indirect daylight indoors.

Tailor-Made Solar Shading Solutions

Every building has different requirements when it comes to solar exposure, orientation and architectural design. That is why flexibility is an important aspect of SAPA’s solar shading solutions.The systems can be designed with distinct sectional divisions and a variety of surface finishes to enhance profile shapes and strengthen the architectural expression of the building. Decorative profiles can also be incorporated to add further character to the façade.SAPA 4550 is designed to complement the 4150 façade system and can therefore be fully integrated with the building’s wider aluminium solutions.

Solar Shading for Windows

SAPA also offers solar shading solutions for windows, including SAPA Window 1086 Screen. This makes it possible to combine window solutions with solar shading and achieve a carefully balanced combination of daylight, comfort and design.By combining SAPA windows, façades and solar shading systems, architects can create a cohesive solution where functionality and architecture work together seamlessly.

Aluminium with a Long Service Life

Aluminium is a robust material with a long service life and low maintenance requirements, making it particularly suitable for solar shading systems designed to perform for many years.SAPA solar shading solutions can be finished through anodising or powder coating, providing additional opportunities to customise the appearance according to the building’s architecture.SAPA also works with recycled aluminium and circular design principles. Products can contain at least 75% recycled material, and aluminium’s recyclability contributes to long-term sustainable building solutions.
