Brise-soleils in Marazzi porcelain stoneware are an architectural solution with excellent appearance and functional values. Marazzi Engineering offers the important capability for integrating brise-soleil solutions with the ventilated curtain wall technology, bringing balance and harmony to architectural projects while meeting the rules and criteria for ecosustainable design. The relationships between solid volumes and empty spaces can be manipulated to create effects that upgrade the whole look of the building’s exterior, conceived as the sum of totally integrated architectural features. There is also the functional benefit of providing protection against direct sunlight.

Marazzi Engineering gives architects the freedom to choose between two different system solutions, fixed or adjustable, meaning that the angle of inclination of the brise-soleil blades can be varied in response to geographical, seasonal and building orientation parameters.
