The highly sustainable and sophisticated nature of solar window screens make them an ideal material for harnessing natural light. Cambridge Architectural metal fabric systems have long been known for transforming building facades and turning ordinary structures into signature landmarks. Now the unique aesthetic of mesh (providing shade to the curtainwall) comes with proven energy savings in the form of exterior solar screens.
Cambridge Solucent exterior window shades save energy by shading the sun, leading to significant savings on cooling costs. Fixed window sun screens also optimize daylighting by selecting specific mesh patterns in specific building locations. The greater the open area of the weave and the orientation of the mesh, the more daylight passes through into the building.
Solar window screens achieve meaningful sustainable advantages as a material that is fully recyclable, virtually indestructible and maintenance-free. Exterior solar screens fully integrate into curtain wall systems because metal fabric is installed in long-span tension, and easily integrated into both new and existing buildings.
Solucent exterior window shades were specifically designed to shade the sun and harness natural light, optimizing the interior or exterior environment. Window sun shades provide effective shading during the peak hours of the day, blocking the harshest rays of the sun. Concurrently, the patterns and placement of solar window screens allow for maximum natural light and views.
Based on the openness of the pattern, the interaction of exterior solar screens with light varies. Open patterns in specific orientations allow varying degrees of light to pass through. In fact, exterior window shades can allow almost any amount of light into a building, optimizing daylight in the space behind it. Solucent fixed window sun shades can be integrated into the building design process, or can be featured as an added component. Cambridge Architectural evaluates each project based on the geographical region, building type, building orientation and amount of light needed to successfully create beautiful, appropriately-lit spaces.
Cambridge Architectural is serious about developing sustainable products that improve building performance. Solucent solar window screens deliver Cambridge's promise of sustainability in a variety of ways.
Exterior solar screens are yet another example of Cambridge's ability to answer the design community's needs with tested and proven architectural solutions. Cambridge's exterior window shade designs can be applied to a variety of applications – and are ultimately designed and engineered according to your vision, and built according to your budget.
