Sun protection
Solar protection is a fundamental factor to take into account when planning an envelope. There are currently multiple options when it comes to addressing this important issue in the thermal behaviour of enclosures and their influence on the energy efficiency of the building. Our R70ST system, which uses structural silicone to secure the closing elements of the envelope, leaving an open gap between them, also guarantees triple-barrier tightness and allows the attachment of solar protection components.
Louvers and parasols
We have several examples of the use of these elements in various facades, both in a horizontal position, called sunshades, used mainly in south orientations, and vertical slats of different depths for different orientations. The combination of both elements forming a grid outside the facade plane and fixed to it, is also possible thanks to the advantages offered by our R70ST semi-industrialized facade system.
lattices
There are several possibilities for creating lattices by combining different profiles. However, we would like to highlight one that Riveti has developed. It is an aluminium lattice with an assembly system using a self-tapping screw with concealed fixing and a clipping system. Its configuration allows for manufacturing in the workshop in modules that are then installed on site in a very short time. One of its main advantages is its lightness, which prevents the building from being overloaded.
Double skin
Double skin façades are a special solution in which an external plane, which can be made of various materials, is superimposed on the building's enclosure plane to provide solar protection. Our R70ST system allows us to implement these solutions using brackets that are anchored to the building's structure and support both maintenance walkways and the different components that can make up the external skin.
Perforated sheet metal
Perforated sheet metal is a very versatile element that can be used in many different ways and positions. It is very common to use perforated sheet metal as the outer skin in double skins, but also as the last ventilated layer in enclosure panels.
