A bespoke solar shading system using Accoya wood on Scottish Widows’ building at Exchange Place, Edinburgh.

1,060 Accoya wood shutter fins were used in combination with glass fins and Matrix XL Brise Soleil to prevent excessive solar heat gain within the building.

Accoya wood was chosen for its structural stability, durability and because it is sustainably sourced. Levolux was able to offer a 10 year warranty for the finish and a life expectancy of 60 years.
