Netceed’s employees are thoroughly enjoying their new office buildings in the Dutch city of Breda, thanks to Renson. Space, all the modern facilities, plenty of natural light… and also sun protection to prevent the huge glass sections of the south-west-facing curtain walls from causing the office to overheat when the sun is at its strongest.
The curtain walls of the new-build complex feature no fewer than 64 screens, each measuring approximately 1.8m by 3.5m.
Renson Ambassador Jaleco Havaro BV, from Papendrecht, was responsible for the engineering, supply and installation of these screens.
Stefan Bakker, from Jaleco Havaro, said that it was the main contractor, Molenschot Industriebouw, who approached Renson in search of suitable screens for the curtain walls.
Dario Claassen, of Molenschot Industriebouw, says: “In consultation with the client, the Fixscreen Minimal CW50 fabric sunshades were chosen because they are the least obtrusive. They didn’t want them to be visible from the inside.”
Renson’s ‘brilliant solution’
Stefan Bakker adds: “For a project like this, Renson’s CW50 Fixscreen Minimals are a brilliant solution. Precisely because they integrate seamlessly into the curtain wall and fully respect the sleek architectural design. That’s no coincidence: as a joint product development between system house Reynaers Aluminium and Renson, the Fixscreen Minimal CW50 is a comprehensive solution to be reckoned with.
“The dimensions of the frames, fabric box and link guides are perfectly matched. What’s more, the screens are fully wind-resistant up to 130 km/h. That not only offers comfort, but also the assurance that, as a user, you hardly have to worry about them at all.”
