SolidScreen External Roller Sun Shading
SolidScreen® - External roller sun blinds A complete range for commercial and domestic applications. External shading has become increasingly popular in recent years as a method of effectively controlling solar heat gain within buildings. SolidScreen® is an automatic shading system, powered by internal tubular motors and controlled by Somfy Systems. The screen fabric is locked into the side guide with ‘zip’ technology. This ensures that the SolidScreen® system can withstand very high wind loads. SolidScreen® is suitable for a range of environments including external shading of
office buildings and the home, and as part of our Cubola Awning systems. SolidScreen® a shading solution which reduces the transfer of heat from the suns rays through glass. Installing blinds externally ensures less heat is transferred to the building. Sun glare is also reduced inside the building. The blinds produce a diffused light whilst maintaining external visibility. Automating the opening and closing of blinds located on different elevations of building, using light intensity or time will provide effective building climate control and reduce expensive air conditioning costs.

Cubola Solid Screens Cubola SolidScreens are a fully automatic retractable side screen. They incorporate a unique zip system which locks the sun screening fabric securely into the side guides preventing any distortion from the wind. The screen is operated from a remote control. Side or front screens are a practical addition to Cubolas and protect against the elements and provide seclusion. Ideal when creating outdoor dining or lounge areas, and hot tub enclosures.
SolidScreen® The Cassette The screen fabric is housed within the cassette head box and wound on a supporting tube. The internal motor is connected to one end of the tube and a double bearing on the other. The sides of the fabric have a zip heat welded to the edge. This zip runs in gutter incorporated within the side guide. The weighted lower bar holds the fabric taught. This bar is supplied in three different shapes depending on style and dimensions. Manufactured in the UK, SolidScreen® can be supplied in two standard colours white and anthracite, although any RAL colour is available as a special order. The SolidScreen® is operated by a hand held remote control and can be incorporated in a smart building control system.
SolidScreenÂŽ The Technology The screen is compliant with all relevant CE Standards and has been tested by the TUV Nord Group. SolidScreens are tested on two criteria, life span and wind resistance which are graded on a scale of 0 to 3. The SolidScreen has scored the highest possible rating, class 3. Additional wind tunnel testing of the SolidScreen proved that the screen remained fully functional at wind speeds up to 90mph. Solar heat gain is the increase in temperature within a building as a result of solar radiation. This transfer of heat is most apparent on glass walls, windows and doors. Architects reduce solar heat gain by specifying thermal efficient windows. In addition to this, installing external blinds is generally more effective than installing internal blinds, offering over a 70% reduction in solar heat gain. The easy automation and reliability of SolidScreen make it a market leader.
