Contrasol is thrilled to announce the successful completion of an exciting project at Preston Market Animate.

Our team was responsible for the full design, manufacture, and installation of both vertical and horizontal brise soleil systems, as well as custom perforated sheets, which now adorn the façade of the town centre's vibrant new cinema, set to open in early 2025. The sleek, modern aesthetic of our shading solutions not only enhances the building’s appearance but also optimises energy efficiency by controlling sunlight and reducing glare.

We're thrilled to share some of our newly received drone footage of the Spelthorne Leisure Centre in Surrey, one of the first wet and dry Passivhaus-certified leisure centres in the world. This stunning project features bespoke brise soleil and louvres designed, manufactured, and installed by Contrasol. Stay tuned for more updates!

At Contrasol, we embrace the Passivhaus Standard where possible, with our solar shading and architectural façade solutions contributing significantly to the performance and aesthetics of a Passivhaus build, through:

🔹 Energy Efficiency:

☀Optimised Solar Gain: Solar shading solutions like brise soleil and shutters control the amount of sunlight entering the building. In summer, they reduce overheating by blocking excessive solar gain, while in winter, they allow passive solar heating, thus minimising the need for artificial cooling and heating.

🔹 Comfort:

🌡Temperature Regulation: By managing solar gain, our shading solutions help maintain a comfortable indoor environment throughout the year. This is essential for Passivhaus buildings, which prioritise consistent indoor temperatures.
😎Glare Reduction: Properly designed solar shading minimises glare, enhancing visual comfort for occupants, whether in residential or commercial spaces.

🔹 Enhanced Indoor Air Quality:

♨️Ventilation: Our louvre systems provide advanced ventilation systems, ensuring continuous fresh air supply without compromising airtightness. This complements the Passivhaus principle of superior indoor air quality.

🔹 Durability and Sustainability:

🌳Material Quality: We use sustainable, durable materials for our solar shading and façades, contributing to the longevity and environmental friendliness of the building.

🔹 Aesthetic Appeal:

💡Design Flexibility: Architectural feature façades and shading solutions can be tailored to meet aesthetic preferences while adhering to Passivhaus standards. This allows for innovative and attractive designs that enhance the building’s visual appeal.
🌞Natural Light: Our solutions are designed to optimise natural light while preventing overheating, creating bright and pleasant indoor spaces that contribute to occupant well-being.

🔹 Featured Projects

🏠 Sulgrave Gardens: At the time of certification, Sulgrave Gardens was the largest residential Passivhaus development in London.
👟 Spelthorne Leisure Centre: the UK's largest wet and dry leisure centre to achieve Passivhaus, and the first in London, the building is designed to consume up to 60% less energy compared with a standard new building.

Contrasol had the pleasure of attending an insightful panel discussion at Grimshaw Architects in London on Monday evening, entitled "How do we accelerate the decarbonisation of buildings?" 🌍🏢

With a collective urgency to decarbonise our built environment, national targets and business commitments are driving significant change. However, it's critical that we turn these plans into action to achieve substantial carbon reductions in our towns and cities.

This panel discussion brought together experts to share their insights on the actions, tools, and processes needed for a collaborative and empowered design and construction industry of the future.
