Solar shading
Textile façades
A ventilated second skin that brings shade and privacy to new and existing buildings.
Passive cooling
The outer fabric intercepts some solar radiation before it reaches the building. A ventilated air gap helps dissipate heat without using electricity at the façade.
Technical fabric and tensioning system
The patented rohoflex system holds and tensions the façade fabric. Fabric, colour and spacing are selected for the building orientation, wind exposure, shade and privacy requirements.
Design, supply and installation
CH PRO supports the project from building assessment and fabric selection through installation, for new construction and façade retrofits.
Textile façade applications
Parking garages
Open mesh allows air to circulate while providing shelter from sun, wind and rain.
Data centres
A textile envelope shields outdoor equipment from direct sun and weather while maintaining airflow.
Metro and rail stations
A lightweight enclosure shelters platforms from the weather while letting in daylight and air.
3D-printed homes
A ventilated textile façade shades the printed shell and helps limit direct solar exposure.
Stadiums and arenas
Lightweight membranes can span large openings and filter daylight into sports venues.
Event and exhibition halls
Replaceable textiles let halls and pavilions adapt to different events with custom graphics and shading.
Other applications
A lightweight second skin can also provide shade and ventilation for airports, commercial buildings and glazed façades.
