Professional brise soleil across Melrose and Scottish Borders — free surveys and fixed written quotations.
Melrose businesses and contractors trust us for brise soleil because we handle the whole package — structural calculations, fabrication, installation and weather testing — with one point of responsibility.
Brise soleil provides passive solar shading, cutting summer heat gain through glazed facades and reducing cooling loads — often a planning or BREEAM requirement on heavily glazed elevations.
We install horizontal projecting systems above glazing, vertical fins on east/west elevations, and full louvre screens, all in PPC aluminium matched to the curtain walling.
Brackets fix back through the curtain wall mullions to structure, so shading is engineered with the facade, not bolted on afterwards.
Our installation teams work across Melrose regularly and know the local planning landscape, typical building stock and access constraints that shape facade projects in this part of Scottish Borders. That local knowledge shows up in tighter programmes and fewer surprises on site.
Installation follows Centre for Window and Cladding Technology standards with documented quality checks at every stage.
Design, fabrication coordination, installation and sealing handled by one team — no interface disputes.
Every completed installation is handed over with warranties, test records and compliance documentation.
Phased programmes, temporary weathering and out-of-hours working keep buildings in use during facade work.
We provide the drawings, specifications and certification your architect or building control body needs, and advise on planning-sensitive frontages including conservation areas in Scottish Borders.
In most cases yes. Aluminium framing is powder coated to any RAL or BS colour, and we can usually source compatible profiles or fabricate matching sections for repairs and extensions to existing facades.
Installations carry our workmanship warranty alongside manufacturer system and coating warranties — typically 10 to 25 years depending on the system, with all documentation provided at handover.
A single glazed screen or shopfront is typically installed in days; full elevations run from two to eight weeks depending on size, height and access. We confirm a programme with your fixed quotation.
