BAC Advanced Composites Technologies have utilised its 3D design and CNC milling machines to manufacture a series of moulds to build modular Fibre Composite (FC) sunshades that are light-weight, corrosion resistant and insulated to provide insulation to all the windows on the building.
The sunshades are up to 7 metres long and high, and are designed for easy attachment to existing and new buildings without adding significant weight, or needing to incorporate expensive attachment arrangements.
Colour matching to the existing paint scheme was easily incorporated.
BAC says the approach can be adapted to provide any size of panel or structure for a cost-effective and long-lasting improvement to building designs. The FC materials also allow for minimal maintenance and long life structures.
