Aluminium Shading System Europa Louvres Shading System

Europa Louvres Shading System

It is the integrated energy saving proposal for sun protection in the so called “smart” buildings. The pioneer design of the louver in the form of a flap allows easy installation on the exterior facade of both new and old buildings.

The system has four different types of shading wings with a special design in order to avoid the overheating of interior spaces and also to provide protection to the glass surfaces from sunlight or breakage.

The position of the shading wings can either be fixed (permanently to a preferred angle) or adjustable at any angle according to the user’s choice.

Europa Louvres Shading System is an aluminium shading system manufactured to measure by Metalowood for south and west facades that overheat in summer.
