Product Overview


The Levolux Matrix XL Brise Soleil System provides an effective method of solar shading with the option of an integral walkway. • Impressive aesthetics • Flexible arrangement • Energy efficient • Integrated access solution


Features & Benefits


Aesthetically pleasing Matrix XL is manufactured from extruded aluminium components and can be anodised or polyester powder coated to complement the building and surroundings.


Virtually maintenance free Stainless steel fastenings and fixings are used, producing a virtually maintenance free and corrosion-resistant system.


Reduces energy costs The ability to control solar heat gain can reduce or even eliminate the need for air conditioning.


Comfortable environment Matrix XL encourages natural ventilation and provides unobstructed outward vision.


Flexibility Matrix XL can be fitted to existing or new buildings and allows special applications to be considered.


Accessibility Using Matrix XL with a Walk-On Platform option gives easier access for maintenance and window cleaning.


Multi-purpose Matrix XL may even be used for wall cladding, ventilation grilles, sight screening, pergolas, pedestrian ways, sun terraces etc.


The Range


Standard ‘Z’ louvres are usually fitted below the support arms in a continuous design (max length of 6 metres). Other support arm options are available to accept longer louvres. With support arms at up to 2.25 metre centres, most window glazing mullions can be followed.


Structural For spans of greater than 2.25 metres, the structural XL blade system can be used, accommodating spans of up to 3 metres.


Walk-on Matrix XL Offering a unique maintenance platform as well as an effective sunscreen. This solution is particularly suited to taller buildings where “shading shelves” may be created. The system incorporates a J-tread element with a non-slip top section, forming a platform adjacent to the louvres without affecting their efficiency.


The platform can be supplied mill finished, anodized or polyester powder coated and can incorporate a latch-way safety system or a handrail to complement the overall design.


Bespoke Solutions Our auto-cad trained product designers and structural engineers are able to develop special solutions. We really can make your ‘dream designs’ become reality. By combining the benefits of extruded aluminium components and the structural integrity of steel, we can achieve 7.2m fixing centres.


In addition, by incorporating structural brackets for fixing Matrix XL in multiple tiers to concrete or structural steel, a clean curtain walling façade can be retained, with the added benefit of a Walk-On Platform.
