Twisted Aluminium Extrusions for Solar Shading
External sunshades are one of the most effective methods of reducing heat and glare in a building’s interior. Properly designed sun controls can reduce heat gain and increase the interior’s usable space by allowing occupants to sit adjacent to windows. Twisted aluminium extrusions are perfect for this use.
A number of options are available for blade shapes and designs, allowing a variety of configurations to create a bespoke appearance. Adding bending and twisting to these choices provides almost infinite design possibilities.
Solar shading is ideal for both new and existing construction projects, providing effective shading while maintaining unobstructed views.
Adding a Twist to Aluminium Bending
Twisted aluminium extrusions are not something that every bending company can offer. Controlled twisting is a delicate process that requires specialist machinery and knowledge to accomplish.
We have developed a bespoke twisting machine that allows us to twist sections up to 7m long. When working with fins and blades used for solar shading projects, maintaining long, unbroken lengths is important to achieve a seamless and clean finish.
Finishing Treatments for External Parts
Surface treatment for external parts is always important, and we handle all such treatments in-house, giving us complete control over the final product.
For example, our long heat treatment oven is used for all age-hardening processes, allowing us to carefully control each batch.
Twisting sections is just one of the specialty bending services we provide. Let us know if you have a project that requires our unrivalled expertise.
