The Abrishade retractable screen system is a moving shade system that provides shade, heat and light management for both internal and external application. It can be used under an existing roofing structure such as glass or polycarbonate or can be installed on its own as a shade and heat barrier for outdoor areas. This retractable shade system offers a great alternative to expensive open and close louvers and fixed shade sails.
External application includes the provision of a moving shade system for exterior balconies, courtyards, entertainment areas, pools and communal spaces to assist in the management of light and heat affect on the area. This product offers more flexibility then standard shade sails.
Internally the system can be installed under large areas of glass or polycarbonate roofing such as atriums, skylights and alfresco areas to provide shade as well as light and heat management within an existing weatherproof zone or structure.
This moving shade system allows the climate (light and heat) to be controlled – it can be opened in the early mornings and late afternoons or cloudy days to take in the milder sun and then closed during the midday high summer heat periods. Unlike the common fixed shade sails the moving shade system allows you to choose the amount of shade you need.
The Abrishade system is designed specifically for each project and can be chain operated or automated if required with the addition of a Somfy FTS motorised system.
The Abrishade system is available in both rolling and folding options and a selection of solar control and waterproof fabrics are available to suit specific project requirements.
