WHAT IS THE Brise Soleil WEOSUN® MADE OF?
Designed to combine natural aesthetics with long-lasting performance, the WEOSUN® Brise Soleil is made from 95% recycled materials and is fully recyclable at the end of its life. Its wood-composite composition — 60% wood fibres, 35% high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and 5% additives — gives it exceptional dimensional stability and resistance to discolouration, with a ΔE of less than 5 after 2,000 hours of exposure. The profiles have a wall thickness of 5 mm and feature a co-extruded polyethylene layer.
Available in three cross-sections with a standard length of 3.90 m:
- 42 × 60 mm (density: 1,190 kg/m³ — linear density: 1.27 kg/ml)
- 42 × 90 mm (density: 1,210 kg/m³ — linear mass: 1.96 kg/ml)
- 42 × 145 mm (density: 1,200 kg/m³ — linear mass: 2.68 kg/ml)
Each profile is reinforced with a 2 mm thick aluminium web, enabling it to withstand wind loads of up to 5,000 Pa depending on the configuration.
WHAT ARE THE INSTALLATION OPTIONS?
The WEOSUN® Brise Soleil is a composite wood architectural element designed to regulate natural light and reduce direct sunlight while offering a refined, contemporary aesthetic. Its installation is modular and secure, thanks to reinforced aluminum profiles that can withstand significant wind loads.
HOW TO MAINTAIN IT?
Its co-extruded protective layer allows it to resist discoloration for years while maintaining the wood-like appearance and vibrant color. Like all our WEO® composite cladding, the louvers are protected by a thin UV-resistant polymer layer. Maintenance is minimal, and the exterior appearance of the building remains unchanged over time.
WHAT IS ITS DURABILITY?
Developed using the latest extrusion technologies, the WEOSUN® Brise Soleil combines the durability of co-extrusion with the warm appearance of wood. The waterproof film applied to its surface significantly reduces facade maintenance and preserves the louver color over time. UV-resistant and non-porous, this coating ensures excellent resistance to weather and other external stresses.
WHAT ARE ITS TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS?
This contemporary architectural element reduces discomfort caused by direct sunlight, allowing natural light to enter without excessive heat.
Our WEOSUN® Brise Soleil are often used in HQE (High Environmental Quality) or BBC (Low Energy Consumption) buildings to regulate solar radiation inside residential or office spaces.
These profiles are decorative and do not provide waterproofing or insulation. The WEOSUN® Brise Soleil can be used in all types of public buildings, commercial offices, and individual or collective housing without restriction.
A combination of design and functionality
The WEOSUN® Brise Soleil is a true contemporary architectural feature. More than just a sunshade, it structures the facade and gives it an elegant rhythm with its fine, regular lines. When installed as a facade cladding, it interacts with light and shadow to enhance building volumes while maintaining interior comfort. Lightweight, modular, and durable, the WEOSUN® Brise Soleil integrates seamlessly with any architectural style.
Architecture serving comfort
The WEOSUN® Brise Soleil transforms the facade into a true design element. Its elegant profile emphasizes the building lines and creates dynamic shadow effects throughout the day. It contributes to the project’s visual identity while improving energy efficiency. By limiting direct solar radiation, it reduces summer overheating while preserving pleasant natural light indoors.
