One of our favourite projects, a standout installation in Italy, working on a huge private residence that needed serious protection from the intense Italian summer heat. The client was after a solution that would reduce heat gain without compromising the look of the property, and classic chain lath proved to be the perfect choice.
Chain Lath Blinds offer that ideal balance of light and shade. It creates a dappled effect that filters sunlight beautifully, while also helping to keep interiors cooler. Chain laths provide attractive shading and efficient temperature control and are especially suitable for conservatories and greenhouses. Fitted externally, Chain lath blinds enable shade and temperature to be efficiently controlled, and also will provide in excess of 70% shading from outside the glass, which controls the heat inside to the same extent as 98% internal shading.
Chain Lath Blinds create a cool and shady atmosphere by filtering sunlight during the summer or the day, and can also be used to conserve heat at night or in the winter. This makes them especially suited for conservatories and greenhouses and they are frequently used by professional nurseries and horticultural institutes. Chain lath blinds minimise solar gain by reflecting heat before it passes through the glass and therefore reduce heat loss in cold conditions
For this project, the scale was no small task. The installation alone took our team a full week, but the end result was well worth the effort. The system now blends seamlessly into the architecture, doing its job quietly but effectively. The client was thrilled with the outcome, not just for the performance, but also for how it enhances the space.
