Motion 10600 - Kinetic Façade Shading, Vertical Folding Shading System

The Vertical Hinged folding shading system is made up of a pair of sashes folding upwards. This creates a horizontal outward projection to the building leading to a shade being created while allowing natural light to enter the building. This kind of shading system is a must when access through the shader is required along the whole width. The sash movement is vertical and can only be operated electrically. The max sash height is limited to 1.5 meters in height and 4 meters in width. In its standard installation configuration, it is mounted within the building frame. Optionally it can also be fixed on the outside thus creating seamless integration with the building cladding. En savoir plus

Atheneum Pegasus

“Duco contributes to the building of an educational gem with DucoSun Ellips” In the autumn of 2014, the first sod was cut in the West Flanders seaside resort of Ostend for the construction of an impressive school complex. In order to cope expeditiously with the steady growth of Atheneum Pegasus, pupils and teaching staff were able, thanks to close cooperation between the stakeholders, to settle into the snazzy, elongated newbuild wing after scarcely one year. The design was handled by Urban Platform, whose main driving forces were sustainability and energy efficiency, as well as focusing on indoor climate. Close to the centre of Ostend, it is not only pupils and teaching staff, but also architecture enthusiasts and casual passers-by w... En savoir plus

DucoSun Ellips

“Duco contributes to the building of an educational gem with DucoSun Ellips” For school governing bodies, focusing on the indoor climate of school buildings is very much in their interest. After all, excessive CO2 levels, but also extreme temperatures, are the underlying causes of many complaints. Even today, summer comfort is still not always included in the design requirements for school buildings. This is a missed opportunity to create a learning environment that helps pupils achieve good performance in both winter and summer. With the DucoSun Ellips, however, a solution that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing is available for any (school) project! In recent years we have come to value the sun as an ally that supplies us... En savoir plus
