LUXASHADEBrise Soleil Louvre Systems
Fixed Brise Soleil Louvre System
Formerly known as Fixed Brise Soleil Louvre System
BSL-FFixed 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.
Permanent shading. Permanent design statement.
Some buildings need their sun control to be visible. Fixed brise soleil is the architect's gesture — aluminium louvres permanently mounted ahead of the facade, casting precise shade patterns at every hour of the day. The Tela Fix system offers four profile shapes (elliptical, rectangular, C-channel, Z-channel) horizontally or vertically. Any RAL colour with TIGER Coatings powder coat. Tested to EN 1991-1-4 wind loads. Used on office buildings, schools, hotels, and high-end residential where the shading itself is part of the architecture, not hidden infrastructure.

PRODUCT ANSWERS
Practical answers about fixed brise soleil.
Use these answers when comparing permanent aluminium facade shading for solar control, architectural rhythm and low daily operation complexity.
What is a fixed brise soleil used for?
A fixed brise soleil is used for permanent facade shading where aluminium louvres reduce sun exposure and create a consistent architectural rhythm without daily movement.
Compare brise soleil →When is fixed shading better than sliding or folding panels?
Choose fixed shading when the facade needs a stable solar-control strategy; choose sliding or folding systems when occupants need adjustable opening and privacy behaviour.
Compare sliding panels →What should be checked before quotation?
Confirm facade orientation, louvre angle, fixing surface, wind exposure, maintenance access, finish colour and whether the system is decorative, shading-led or privacy-led.

Low Routine Care
No moving parts, no motors, no controls. Fixed blades provide continuous shading for decades without intervention.
Optimised Blade Angle
Blade angle calculated for your building's orientation and latitude. Blocks high summer sun, admits low winter sun.
Wind-Resistant
Fixed mounting withstands extreme wind loads — suitable for high-rise facades and exposed coastal locations.
Architectural Statement
Brise soleil transforms the facade into a dynamic light-and-shadow composition. Available in horizontal, vertical, or angled configurations.

APPLICATIONSWhere It Works.
Fixed brise soleil is the standard for commercial facades — office buildings, schools, hospitals, and public buildings where consistent solar shading is required…
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSCommon Questions.
Elliptical (aerodynamic, elegant), rectangular (bold, modern), C-profile (maximum shade per blade), and aerofoil (optimised airflow). Widths from 80mm to 450mm.
The optimal angle is calculated based on your building's compass orientation, latitude, and the rooms behind the facade. South-facing facades typically use 30–45° horizontal blades; east/west facades benefit from vertical blades.
Yes. The system mounts on a substructure anchored to the existing facade — no structural modification to the building required.
Up to 4,000mm without intermediate support. Longer spans use mid-span brackets.
Fixed systems cost less, need low routine care, and are selected for long service intervals. Moveable systems offer flexibility but add motors, controls, and maintenance. For facades with consistent sun exposure, fixed is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
