Sun Protection
Passive solar architecture aims to maintain comfortable conditions inside buildings by reducing the use of air conditioning systems as much as possible.
Passive solar architecture aims to maintain comfortable conditions inside buildings, reducing the use of air conditioning systems as much as possible and increasing the energy efficiency of buildings.
In this context, passive sun protection systems for windows and sun protection for façades have become essential elements, used since time immemorial to filter light and soften the temperature, protecting interiors from the aggression of climatic agents.
Shutters, louvres, window shutters and sunbreakers are historical elements of architecture. TAMILUZ redesigns them from a modern perspective, tailored to the construction needs of each of the projects in which it participates, meeting the objectives of sun protection, shading and/or ventilation.
TAMILUZ fixed or adjustable bladed systems, shutter systems and louvres play a key role, both aesthetically and functionally, in residential, hospital, educational, commercial and office buildings: their correct installation has a direct impact on the user’s well-being and can mean energy savings of up to 30%.
The different types of sun protection, shading and ventilation systems are presented below:
Louvred Shutters
Louvred shutters are external systems made up of adjustable slats that can be operated manually or by motor, mounted on a fixed or mobile frame (sliding, folding, lifting, etc.).
Versatile and efficient in terms of solar protection, shading and also ventilation, to varying degrees, depending on the model and the type of opening chosen.
Application: They can be fitted on windows, doors or balconies.
They are particularly relevant for residential projects.

Window shutters
Window shutters are exterior systems composed of fixed louvres mounted on a fixed or movable frame (sliding, folding, lifting, etc.).
They are versatile and efficient in terms of solar protection, concealment and also ventilation, to varying degrees, depending on the model and the type of drive chosen.
Application: They can be installed on windows, doors or balconies.
They are used in both residential and office projects.

Door and loggia shutters
A loggia or door shutter is an exterior door incorporated into a loggia or door. It is characterized by its blind or perforated or louvred panels.
Versatile and efficient in terms of shading and also ventilation, to varying degrees, depending on the model chosen.
Application: They can be fitted to both windows and doors.

Louvres
Louvres combine the concepts of window shutters and blinds: they are fixed or adjustable louvred shutters instead of blind panels.
Versatile and efficient in terms of solar protection, shading and also ventilation, to varying degrees, depending on the model and the construction system chosen.
Application: windows and doors.

Brise -soleil
The brise-soleil, also called sunshade, is a system made up of horizontal or vertical slats of very variable formats. These louvres can be fixed or mobile, and are generally motor-driven.
Versatile and efficient in terms of solar protection, shading and also ventilation, to varying degrees, depending on the model chosen.
Application: façades and roofs in commercial, hospital, educational or office buildings.
