Naturally cool

Window shading systems, operable louvres and complete facade treatments provide a passive means of reducing solar radiation entering buildings. This contributes to creating a comfortable indoor environment and reduces air conditioning requirements meaning reduced energy use and reduced costs for those who install the ecologically savvy systems.

Colt Tollfab is a supplier of solar shading systems, from the simple to the high-tech, for the construction industry in Australia. The company is a joint venture between Colt UK and Tollfab from Australia. Colt Tollfab combines local industry knowledge with a range of European- and Australian-developed products.

"Colt Tollfab supplies the construction industry with a number of building solutions, including solar shading systems, mechanical louvres, and natural ventilation systems," says sales and marketing manager Steve Hall.

"Our solar shading systems range from aluminium sunscreens and elliptical louvres through to operable glass louvres for complete facades" says Hall. "The systems reduce solar thermal loads in all types of buildings."

Clean-lined designs, and the capacity to engineer individual shading solutions in conjunction with architects, mean Colt Tollfab can assist in reducing a building's solar thermal load, and achieve the architectural aesthetic outcome that is required.

Natural ventilation and smoke-control products complete Colt Tollfab's overall focus on energy saving.
