CF Aurora 100
CF Aurora 100
Vertical shading system with aerofoil blade profile.
Application
Provides solar shading to glazed buildings.
Description
The Aurora climate façade concept is built on an intelligent thermal model. Air circulates behind the façade louvres to create a movement of cool air that crosses the glazed area. The resulting 'cooling' effect reduces solar gain in the interior of the building. The system is available with solid or perforated and timber blades.
Panel Construction:
a) Maple aluminium elliptical blades ranging from 180-250mm, projection, run height and width dependent of project location and wind loadings. Panels comprising of 6063 T6 extruded aluminium elliptical blades fixed between 6mm aluminium side arms to form a cassette panel, fixed to purpose design bracketry.
b) Western Red Cedar elliptical blades ranging from 150-250mm, projection, run height and width dependent of project location and wind loadings. Panels comprising of Western Red Cedar elliptical blades fixed between 6mm aluminium side arms to form a cassette panel, fixed to purpose design bracketry.
System Construction Solo:
a) Maple aluminium elliptical blades ranging from 300-700mm, projection, run height and width dependent of project location and wind loadings. System comprising of 6063 T6 extruded aluminium elliptical blades with bespoke aluminium end plates fixed between Maple’s ‘Type 1 Arm’ or ‘Type 3 Arm’ which are installed directly to suitable fixing grounds or by purpose-designed bracketry.
b) Western Red Cedar elliptical blades ranging from 300-400mm, projection, run height and width dependent of project location and wind loadings. System comprising of Western Red Cedar elliptical blades with bespoke aluminium end plates fixed between Maple’s ‘Type 1 Arm’ or ‘Type 3 Arm’ which are installed directly to suitable fixing grounds or by purpose-designed bracketry.
Bracket Construction:
a) Laser cut and folded brackets, designed and engineered to suit the project location, wind loadings and tolerances, manufactured from s275 (or superior) mild steel, and fixed direct to suitable fixings grounds.
b) Laser cut brackets, designed and engineered to suit the project location, wind loadings and tolerances, manufactured from 5000 series (or superior) aluminium, and fixed into curtain walling mullions. Brackets and spring pins will be free issued for installation by the curtain walling subcontractor.
c) Laser cut thermally broken brackets, designed and engineered to suit the project location, wind loadings and tolerances, manufactured from 5000 series (or superior) aluminium, and fixed into curtain walling mullions. Brackets and thermal break components will be free issued for installation by the curtain walling subcontractor.
Blade Colour/ Finish:
Specific to each project – polyester powder-coated 60µm or anodized 25µm.
Bracket Colour/ Finish:
Specific to each project – hot dip galvanized or polyester powder-coated 60µm.

Type | Cassette. Guidance for specification option: A modular off-site Brise Soleil construction, offering a quick and efficient on-site installation. The CF Cassette type offers a very minimal visual impact where the cassettes join. The CF cassette type can be interfaced with curtain walling systems to ensure an integrated approach. Standard. Guidance for specification option: The CF standard type compromises a universal support arm to which the majority of the blades within the rang can be attached at specific angels, to suit application. The CS standard type can be readily specified to incorporate motorization to enable total solar control. The CF Standard support arm can be specified for many applications. Solo. Guidance for specification option: The CF solo offers a single blade solution, commonly specified for East and West elevations, where the sun angle is lower, or as feature complement the building design. The blades can incorporate various finished, powder coatings and can be perforated or solid, dependent on client requirement. Motion. Guidance for specification option: The CF motion type supports a growing trend in sliding Brise Soleil solutions, very popular with apartments, residential blocks and office applications. The CF motion type can be fixed, manually operated or motorized to suit budget and application. Manufacturer guidanceSystem type. |
