Explore the advanced features of our shading solutions below:
Basic Wind Loading Models and Ladder Braid Technology:
- Utilization of ladder braid derived from internal venetian blinds to control slats or louvres.
- Ladder braid made of woven polyester with extruded ladder strings supporting the blind slat.
- Blind slats tilted by moving the ladder string up or down using a bearing, lifting tape, and motor.
Challenges and Solutions:
- Polyester Fiber Stretch : Polyester fibres in ladder braid tend to stretch, causing uneven closure of blind slats. Overcome by adding Kevlar/Aramid non-stretch fibres into the ladder braid.
- Quality Variation : Reinforced ladder braids vary in quality; technical weaving methods and double overlocking of Kevlar/Aramid reinforcement are essential for stability.
- Fixing and Rotation Stability : Various methods used to fix blind slats to ladder braid, but slipping due to wind loading or braid stretching remains a concern. Attempts at stability through overlocking ladder cross strings often lead to rotation control failure.
Wire Guides and Slat Profile:
- Wire guide cables come in untreated, galvanized, or stainless steel options.
- Sure Shade’s wire guides are stainless steel coated, ensuring resistance to rust and abrasion, even in corrosive coastal environments.
- Blind slats in the Basic 100F profile, 100mm wide, are controlled by ladder braid, offering flexibility under wind load.
Slat Rotation and Wind Stability:
- Slat rotation challenges addressed through single or double overlocking of ladder cross strings, adjusting spacing to prevent sagging.
- Wire guides offer easy fixing and minimal visual obstruction, but they fail to provide adequate wind stability, causing vibrations and noise.
Defects and Limitations:
- Wind loading causes wire guides to vibrate, resulting in considerable noise, similar to rigging on a boat in the wind.
- Due to the single convex/concave slat design, light blockage and sun glare reduction are limited; approximately 20% light always penetrates, even when slats are fully closed.
- Wind causes blinds to sway sideways and hit walls and glazing under load, affecting stability.
Our Commitment and Innovations:
- We provide an educational background, offering essential information for informed debate and selection of appropriate solutions.
- Our commitment to the climate debate is evident through greatly reduced square meter prices, making our products accessible to various projects.
- Sure Shade’s quality products are engineered to improve existing concepts and offer unique solutions, such as the pioneering Sure Shade 120S.
- Despite challenges in Australian manufacturing, we have invested significantly in design, development, engineering, and manufacturing, establishing a world-first suite of solar radiation protection products.
