When is fixed brise soleil the right starting point?
Fixed brise soleil is the right starting point when the facade needs permanent solar control, architectural rhythm and minimal daily operation from occupants.

BSL-F
Luxa BS Shutter Fix Louvre System
Fixed aluminium louvre panels mounted permanently in front of glass facades — solar shading, architectural rhythm, no moving parts. Horizontal or vertical, profiles elliptical / rectangular / C / Z. Any RAL colour, EN 1991 wind class.
BSL-S
Luxa BS Shutter Slide Panel System
Aluminium louvre panels that slide horizontally on rails in front of the facade — adjustable solar shading without moving parts on the building itself. Manual or motorised. Any RAL colour, panel widths 1000-3000 mm.
BSL-FL
Luxa BS Shutter Folding System
Hinged aluminium louvre panels that fold flat against the facade when closed and swing outward when open — solar shading that adjusts by hand. Bi-fold or tri-fold panels. Any RAL colour, motor optional.
SPECIFIER PROOF
Architectural brise soleil systems separated by fixed, sliding and folding facade use
PONARC surfaces the LuxaShade brise soleil range as a facade shading system family, helping architects compare permanent louvre arrays, track-guided sliding panels and compact folding shutters before opening product-level drawings.
Three facade movement types
The category now distinguishes static solar shading from operable facade screens in the same system language.
- Fixed aluminium louvre facade
- Sliding louvre or perforated panel system
- Folding aluminium louvre shutter system
Blade and panel specification
Core technical ranges are visible early for facade designers checking scale, rhythm and mounting feasibility.
- Elliptical, airfoil, flat or Z-profile blades
- 100-300 mm blade widths on fixed systems
- Sliding panels from 400-1200 mm wide
Facade compliance and finish proof
The proof copy exposes standards, operation and finish cues that matter in commercial and residential facade packages.
- EN 13659 solar protection device reference
- Manual or 24V motorised operation on operable systems
- Any RAL colour with TIGER Coatings powder coat
AI SEARCH ANSWERS
Short answers for facade brise soleil selection
These answers help architects and owners separate fixed louvres, sliding panels and folding shutters before asking for facade package pricing.
When should sliding or folding facade panels be considered?
Use sliding panels when occupants need adjustable shade along a track, and folding panels when the opening should clear more fully while keeping aluminium facade shading language.
Read coating guide →What makes brise soleil a technical facade item?
It affects solar gain, fixing, wind exposure, coating, cleaning access and facade rhythm, so it should be reviewed as part of the building envelope rather than only as decoration.
