THROWING SHADE ON OVERHEATING
As the market leading specialists in external shading , Enviroblinds offers a wealth of solutions to Part O requirements .
When the sun rises on Wednesday , 15th June , 2022 it will find itself a few degrees less omnipotent than the day before , at least in England , thanks to Part O of Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations 2010 , which comes into effect that day .
The new legislation will make it a legal requirement to mitigate overheating in residential buildings and will apply to all new building construction work . In real terms , this means architects and building professionals will need to integrate solutions to limit unwanted solar gain at the design stage of a new build project . Part O defines the acceptable means to achieve this as glazing considerations , building design , building location and external fixed shading devices , including shutters , external blinds , overhangs , and awnings and this is where Enviroblinds can help .
Enviroblinds offers an unrivalled choice of solutions to comply with Part O , including external roller blind screens and aluminium shutters , external venetians , awnings , brise soleil and panels , all of which offer external shading and substantially reduce overheating .
When planned as part of a new building design , Enviroblinds ’ external roller screens , venetians and roller shutters can be flush mounted with the casing and side guides neatly concealed , complementing the building façade . All products can be specified either with a motor that can be fully integrated into an automated building system or a manual operating device .
