LUXASHADEBrise Soleil Louvre Systems
Sliding Brise Soleil Louvre System
Formerly known as Sliding Brise Soleil Panel System
BSL-SAluminium 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.
Slide the panel. Move the shadow.
When fixed shading is too rigid and louvres-on-the-glass too obtrusive, a sliding panel system gives you both — privacy, shade, ventilation — while keeping the facade clean. The Tela Slide louvre panels run on stainless steel rollers along aluminium tracks; slide them across the window in summer for shade, retract them in winter for solar gain. Manual handle or 24V motor with remote. Aluminium frame, fixed louvres inside, any RAL colour, panels 1000-3000 mm wide. Wind class 2 to EN 1991-1-4.

PRODUCT ANSWERS
Practical answers about sliding brise soleil.
Use these answers when comparing movable facade panels that combine solar control, privacy and occupant adjustment.
What is a sliding brise soleil used for?
A sliding brise soleil is used for facade openings where aluminium panels should move along tracks to adjust shade, privacy and view by time of day.
Compare facade shading →When is sliding better than fixed brise soleil?
Choose sliding panels when the user needs adjustable shading or privacy; choose fixed brise soleil when the facade only needs a permanent solar-control layer.
Compare fixed route →What should be checked before quotation?
Confirm panel width, track route, stacking space, fixing surface, wind exposure, operation method, finish colour and the desired privacy or daylight behaviour.

Slide to Shade
Panels slide horizontally to cover or expose the window. Real-time control over light, heat, and privacy.
Stackable Panels
Multiple panels stack behind each other when open — minimal facade protrusion, maximum glass exposure.
Manual or Motorised
Hand-operated with soft-close dampers, or 24V motorised with rain/wind sensors and smart home integration.
Architectural Flexibility
Panel infill options: horizontal louvres, vertical louvres, perforated sheet, expanded metal, or timber slats.

APPLICATIONSWhere It Works.
Sliding brise soleil is ideal for residential and commercial facades where occupants need dynamic control. The panels slide to shade specific windows during peak…
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSCommon Questions.
Fixed systems are permanent — blades don't move. Sliding panels move horizontally on tracks, giving occupants control over how much of the window is shaded at any time. Ideal for facades where sun exposure varies or occupant preferences change.
Horizontal louvres (most common), vertical louvres, perforated aluminium sheet, expanded metal mesh, timber slats, or composite panels. Each offers different light/privacy/aesthetic characteristics.
Yes. 24V linear drives with rain, wind, and sun sensors enable fully automatic operation. Smart home integration via KNX or RTS.
Width: 400–1,200mm per panel. Height: up to 3,500mm. Multiple panels per track for wider openings.
