For cost-effective balcony and façade design, the system developer and manufacturer Solarlux offers both uninsulated as well as insulated modular solutions: in the SL Modular system, which successfully combines parapet units and glazing, giving a large variety of design options. Using heat-insulated parapet units and fitting the SL 60e glass folding façade transforms a balcony into a fully usable living space, giving a better quality of life. If the modular system with integrated glazing is used it is possible to achieve Uw values as high as 1.7 W/m2K with the average insulation glazing being Ug = 1.1 W/m2K. The modules which have been designed as curtain wall type façades are pre-assembled in Solarlux´s works and delivered ready to be installed – a considerable advantage not only in new balconies but also for the refurbishment and extensions of balconies as this reduces installation times to a minimum.
Since the balcony glazing is fitted with the SL 60e flexible glass folding façade which can be pulled to one side in its entirety, the character of a balcony is retained and the absence of any obstructing posts means that the maximum vista is maintained. The aluminium glazing system, with its wraparound slim frame helps to impart a particularly light and elegant impression. Continuous seals within the system as well as on the outside ensure impermeability to driving rain and prevent draughts. Removable special hinge pins in the balcony area make it possible to clean the outside panes from within.
Solarlux´s modular design is the obvious choice with its tailor-made range, where aesthetic solutions and innovative designs meet the complex needs of architects and specifiers. The great choice available in the design of parapet units makes it possible to provide building projects with individual details which enhance their appearance through attention to detail and which give you enduring enjoyment in your living space.
Part of the system developer´s and manufacturer´s service is to support property owners during the phases of planning and implementation. Whether the plan is to modernise or construct new balconies and façades, this is a decisive factor in terms of cost and can help considerably, knowing that the comprehensive planning and smooth co-ordination and implementation of a proposed development, which may be complex, is in the hands of a competent and accessible expert.

The heat insulated version of the SL Modular balcony and façade system from Solarlux transforms balconies into fully-fledged living spaces. The SL 60e glass folding façade which has been retro-fitted can be opened up over the full width, thus retaining the original character of the balcony.
