Colt Germany

Sparkasse, Verden

Colt can provide contractors and design houses with an excellent consultancy service. This, together with its own research and development facilities, its own installers as well as its own service and maintenance department, is what gives the customer confidence in the abilities of the company.

The Sparkasse Verden is a savings bank and financial institution in Verden, which was built by Contractor ARGE Neubau in Verden. The customer required assistance with the design of a system that could shade the building while maximizing available natural daylight. Colt provided Solarfin external solar shading louvres, Solar C louvres, Shadoglass glass louvre and structural glazing. Unlike conventional 'Z' shaped blades, which reduce both direct and diffused light, the Solar C blade is designed to be particularly effective at controlling solar heat gain while allowing a large proportion of diffused light through the blade. Shadoglass is a fixed or controllable external solar shading system consisting of glass louvres.
