Other Applications

KoolShade® is primarily known for its solar shading and daylight control applications in architecture.

However, its unique micro-louvered structure has led to several other uses beyond Solar Shading. It can be found (under the brand name Microlouvre® ) in Lighting Units from many of the top global lighting brands, used as Fire Attenuation Screens and also as a highly effective way to stop Bird-To-Building Strikes .

FIRE ATTENUATION

MicroLouvre® Wildfire & Bushfire Screens – Superior Protection Against Ember Attack and Radiant HeatWildfires and Bushfires cause devastating damage to lives and property.

MicroLouvre® Wildfire and Bushfire Screens provide unmatched protection against flying embers and radiant heat while maintaining exceptional visibility.

Leading Heat Attenuation & Ember Defence

Our specially engineered bronze louvres absorb and dissipate heat more effectively than conventional screens.

Tested by CSIRO , MicroLouvre® achieves a remarkable 49.4% heat attenuation —the highest performance in the industry.

Clear Vision Without Compromise

STOPPING BIRD-STRIKES

Birds die in their millions every year from flying into glazed buildings. MicroLouvre® KoolShade® minimises this happening.

How MicroLouvre KoolShade Stops Bird Strikes:

Breaks Up Reflections – Birds often crash into glass because they see reflections of sky or trees. The fine mesh makes windows look solid instead of invisible.

Reduces Transparency – Makes glass appear less "invisible" to birds while still allowing clear views for people.

Durable & built to last – Unlike stickers or films, the acreens are long-lasting and blend into the building’s design.

Bonus : It also blocks excess heat and glare, making buildings more energy-efficient.

Result : Fewer bird strikes without sacrificing aesthetics or visibility.

In the UK alone well over a hundred million birds die from glass strikes every year (British Trust for Ornithology). LEED v4Points are awarded for bird safety as part of the Innovation and Design (ID) category
