Schüco CTB (Concealed Toughened Blind) solar shading is external solar shading that offers exceptionally high wind stability. It can be surface-mounted on FW 50+ and FW 60+ façades. Façade-mounted solar shading is particularly suitable for renovation projects since the solution minimises disruption to the existing building structure. The electric blind made from aluminium profiles can be rolled up; this provides a view to the outside and also guarantees the best possible protection from the heat. The fine louvre blade geometry achieves a particular façade appearance, creating a design feature.
Features and benefits
Slimline louvre blade profiles create a particular façade look. The rolled blind is covered with a cover plate
Can be used as a surface-mounted solution in front of Schüco FW 50+ and FW 60+ façades
Integrated blind guide in the façade pressure plates
Wind stability up to 30 m/s guarantees solar shading even on windy days and in tall buildings
Protection from heat in summer due to complete shading from when the sun is at an angle of 20°
The blind has a high level of transparency, ensuring good views to the outside at all times
The special louvre blade shape directs diffuse light inside and ensures pleasant room lighting
Façade-mounted solar shading is particularly suitable for renovation work
Energy
The gtotal values for CTB solar shading were measured by the ift in Rosenheim. Depending on the angle of the sun, the total solar energy transmittance gtotal was calculated. In summer, with the sun at 50º, less than 2% of the sun's energy entered the room. This provides effective protection against heat build-up in the rooms. Spending on cooling is significantly reduced.
Wind load capacity
Schüco high-performance CTB solar shading can withstand high wind loads and can be installed almost irrespective of wind conditions. The blind was installed in the Schüco façade and aerodynamically tested in a wind tunnel (Rail Tec Arsenal vehicle testing institute, Vienna). The tests proved not only the wind stability, but also correct operation with wind speeds of up to 30 m/s. That is equivalent to a force 11 wind, a gale-force storm.
