New solution for integration of solar shading

To protect indoor spaces from overheating despite large glass facades, heroal offers the
external Zip-Screen system heroal VS Z CS for effective sun and heat protection. Thanks to the stable zipper technology, the system is certified for wind and ball resistance - even for large shade areas up to 6 meters wide and 18 m² area.

heroal VS Z CS enables partial and seamless integration of blinds into the heroal C 50 aluminum curtain wall system and those of other manufacturers. The newly developed integration profile for the heroal guide rail GR 25 is inserted into the curtain wall system using a also newly developed fastening technique. Unlike conventional facade integration with traverses, the heroal VS Z awning is particularly close to the curtain wall element. This ensures high wind stability of up to 145 km/h, as the wind can hardly get behind the awning. At the same time, this ensures particularly discreet integration of the awning: when the heroal VS Z awning system is fully raised, it cannot be seen that the curtain wall profiles are fitted with awnings. Even when lowered, the new solution is particularly aesthetic, because at a view width of 25 mm, the use of two heroal guide rails GR 25 results in exactly the same view width of 50 mm as the heroal curtain wall system C 50. Because heroal GR 25 can be used along the entire length of the façade profile, curtain walls up to 5 meters high can also be shaded with the partially integrated heroal VS Z CS. 

Flexibility and profitability

Unlike comparable systems, the heroal C 50 curtain wall system features a high degree of prefabrication, pre-drilled and pre-punched, as well as well thought-out construction details. As a result, production is fast and efficient. Even during processing, the heroal C 50 is fitted with the integration profile by the metal fabricator so that the building façade can also be retrofitted with the heroal VS Z CS sun protection system if required. In addition, the façade builder and the sun protection installer can work independently of each other, which increases flexibility in the project sequence. Separate structural calculations are also not required.

If several sun protection elements are mounted side by side on the curtain wall, the heroal VS Z CS demonstrates its great assembly advantages: each individual element can be optimally aligned to the curtain wall thanks to the integrated side and depth adjustment, as the sun protection can be adjusted three-dimensionally and accommodates and compensates for construction tolerances.
