Aluminium exterior cladding has become an increasingly popular choice thanks to its outstanding performance and versatility, appealing to both private individuals and professionals. Combining durability, aesthetics, and performance, this facade cladding offers an economical and ecological solution to enhance building façades  with style and efficiency, while protecting the building envelope and adding depth to the structure. Whether supplied as framed panels or louvered systems, it is now a must-have for modernizing facades.

At Tellier Brise Soleil, we specialise in architectural solar shading solutions that improve building energy efficiency and thermal comfort. To this end, we have developed numerous ranges designed to control daylight and solar heat gains, thus offering several significant benefits for both occupants and owners.

While exterior sunshades offer multiple benefits, including improved thermal and visual comfort and overall aesthetics, their primary purpose remains solar protection. Whether your project involves the construction or renovation of a residential building, commercial premises, offices, or an industrial site, this is an aspect that must not be neglected and should be considered from the outset. However, there are many variations, two of which are often confused: the Exterior Venetian Blind (EVB) and the architectural sunshades. Here is a brief overview to avoid any further confusion.

Exterior aluminium sunshades help reduce the carbon footprint of buildings while improving their energy performance and enhancing their architectural appearance. How? By limiting unwanted solar heat gain, providing solar shading for the comfort and well-being of users. The introduction of France's RE2020 environmental regulation encourages this ecological approach by requiring builders to construct passive energy buildings for thermal comfort, but sunshades also promote the visual comfort of the interior space.
