Brise Soleil in Reading
Professional brise soleil across Reading and Berkshire — free surveys and fixed written quotations.
Professional brise soleil across Reading and Berkshire — free surveys and fixed written quotations.
Our facade engineers cover Reading and every surrounding Berkshire town, delivering brise soleil for main contractors, architects, landlords and building owners. Survey to certification, handled by one team.
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.
Reading sits within our core Berkshire coverage area, which means fast survey appointments, realistic lead times and an installation team that can return quickly for snagging or future phases.
All systems are specified to meet current Part L thermal requirements as a minimum.
Our installers are directly employed facade specialists, not general subcontract labour.
Every project starts with a free, no-obligation site survey and a fixed written quotation — no estimates that drift.
Every completed installation is handed over with warranties, test records and compliance documentation.
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.
Yes. Wind loading, dead load and deflection calculations are produced for every curtain walling project, and thermal modelling where the specification requires it.
Costs depend on system type, glass specification, height and access. As a guide, supply-and-install curtain walling typically ranges from £450 to £900 per square metre. We provide free site surveys and fixed written quotations for all Reading projects.
We provide the drawings, specifications and certification your architect or building control body needs, and advise on planning-sensitive frontages including conservation areas in Berkshire.
