Sunscreen shades
An overview of projects, products and exclusive articles about sunscreen shades
Project • By Twentinox • Offices
Quartz offices Brussels
When the sun breaks through the clouds, Quartz’s building begins to shine among the other, anonymous buildings. Its ample windows are decorated with iconic sunscreens. The Triangular ‘Golf Sierra’ mesh fits in perfectly with the architecture.

POLO Architects had a specific idea in mind for this project, which they wanted to create without making any compromises. It needed to be an ‘open house’, with plenty of glass and welcoming façades. But plenty of glass inevitably means plenty of sun. In order to preserve the open nature of the design, the sunscreens could not detract from it. Our solar control woven metals were perfect for the job and would not impede the view.

VB House
The VB House is a compact and bright villa, which offers many visual cues, with the ability to open itself without being revealed.
Composed of a solid stone block that covers and protects the most intimate and private areas of the house. This solid stone block opens instead into the living areas of the house that is articulated with new volumes to create spaces in relation to the outside and attract light inside. These volumes that break the solidity of the stone block are treated differently, covered in bronze, with sunscreen panels that can be opened or closed if necessary.
In the villa all spaces are visually interconnected in a spatial and visual continuum. The inclusion of the patio on the first floor with direct visual connection to... More

Baguettes by Tempio
The design of these sunscreen/baguette pieces allows multiples applications: they can be used as lattice, can be used as a filter of the light, can be used as a hide element for stairwells and openings, can be used as balustrade, pergola or even can be used to separate two atmospheres (both indoor and outdoor). They are manufactured up to 1.80 m in natural (full body) and glazed colours. These ceramic tiles can be installed using a very simple fixing system, which also includes a safety clip which prevent the pieces to be removed easily. More

FF-K 30/R300 - Ventilated Facade Elements
FS system, vertical joint on facades. Its placing, with a wider perpend, fairly marks the horizontality of the pieces. This system has a special aluminium clamp that holds the piece and links it to the structure. When installing it, we will constantly check weights and levels. We fix the brackets to the structure with a mechanical anchor, and to the wall using a chemical anchor. The anchors will be the most suitable according to the quality of the wall. We fix the vertical profile to the brackets with steel rivets, so it allows the dilation of the aluminium. To do this, we rivet a fixed point above and the following with mobile points. Always following the same installation pattern, if, for example, we start right to left, we would fix the... More

All Tempio high-profile tiles were originally custom-made for specific projects. Now, they are available as standard tiles because Tempio has kept the custom dies used for their production. These tiles, along with the custom fixing systems, were created in collaboration with project architects, DCA Facade Systems, and Tempio's Technical Team. All Tempio Tiles can be customized to pr...
