Scissor lift at the façade of a high-rise

High-rise, installing above the street

Solar shading on a high-rise — every unit up by lift platform, every fixing checked one by one. What holds here holds in any weather.

Getting there is half the job

On a high-rise it is not the installation that is difficult but the way to it. Lift platform or crane, cordoning off, a window of time without wind: a large part of the planning goes into simply reaching the façade safely.

Wind sets the limit

Every installation has a wind resistance class, and it drops the wider the curtain gets. High up there is the added fact that more wind stands against a high-rise façade than at ground level: what still works below is a different calculation above.
