In Shanghai (China), the Fixscreen sun protection solution has been integrated into the façade of the Black Forest Project – a 100-m high apartment block. The bottom profiles of the screens were made extra heavy to ensure that they could withstand the wind loads at that height. Renson provided this solution together with the façade builder.
For this project, the contractors decided to work with large glass surfaces by using minimalistic window systems. The main surface of the facade is glass, with nearly no actual walls. Because of these large glass surfaces, the contractor knew that overheating and glare might heavily influence the comfort of the residents. So, they decided to use external sun-shading which was not yet very common in China. Through some people in the high-end window industry, the contractor learned about Renson, and shortly after they got the chance to visit Renson’s booth at a German exhibition where they studied their products.
Custom Made Solution
CEG (contractor) chose Renson because they managed to provide a custom-made solution where the external screen was perfectly integrated into the façade without disturbing the façade design. Besides that, they needed a product that could deal with large surfaces but also still guarantee high wind resistance. As the buildings are all at least 25 floors high and Shanghai sometimes incurs typhoons the wind resistance was a very important aspect.
Excellent Support
CEG: “The installation went very smoothly, we are very happy about the whole procedure because Renson China together with Renson headquarters in Belgium provided us full support for this project. We have visited the Renson Headquarters as well, which strengthened our confidence for long-term cooperation. Renson Fixscreen has proved to be a very helpful product, which solves problems like overheating and glare, it surely met all of our expectations.”
