Facade slats are simply narrow, flat slats installed on the exterior walls of buildings. They can be made of a variety of materials, such as:
It is worth understanding one thing: slats turn an ordinary facade into a true work of art.
Facade slats are not a completely new idea, but the contemporary forms and applications differ from those of the past. It can be said that the idea behind facade slats has been evolving over the years, as they passed from a simple practical solution to a modern architectural feature.
The idea to use slats as sun shades was derived from the French term brise-soleil, which means “light breaker”. This solution gained popularity in the 1930s and 1940s, mainly thanks to that famous architect, Le Corbusier.
In one of his most famous projects – Unité d’Habitation in Marseille – Le Corbusier used concrete slats to protect the residents from the harsh Mediterranean sun.
Interestingly, brise-soleil not only reduced the heat inside, but also became a key aesthetic component of the facade, emphasizing the modern and geometric style of the building.
Today, similar solutions are used in many modern designs, but designers opt for such lightweight materials as aluminum, composites and steel to combine the traditional protective function with a modern look.
Facade slats are an excellent choice for several situations:
The Aluprof developed MB-Earthline exterior slats are an attractive option for anyone interested in modern and durable facade solutions. Made of high quality aluminum, they are not just a decorative element, but also an investment in the beauty and prestige of the building. Importantly, MB-Earthline can successfully serve as a ventilated facade, door panels or an unconventional finish for interior walls.
With a wide range of colors and the ability to create a variety of patterns, MB-Earthline exterior slats match different architectural designs. Whether you prefer a minimalist or more extravagant style, you can create a facade that reflects your individual taste and personality.
Aluminum, the material we use to manufacture our facade cladding, is extremely durable and resistant to external conditions. It does not corrode, fade or deform due to changing weather conditions. This allows the facade to retain its beautiful look for many years.
The aluminum facades in the MB-Earthline system were designed for rapid and easy installation. This gives you the opportunity to reduce the time needed to complete a construction project and minimize the costs of all construction work. In addition, aluminum slats are really easy to clean. All you need to do is wash them with water and a gentle cleaner every once in a while.
The elegant and minimalist design of MB-Earthline slats gives buildings a modern and lightweight look. The smooth surface of the slats, the precise workmanship and the perfectly matched edges create a coherent whole, emphasizing the beauty of the facade. An additional advantage of our facade cladding is that you can choose from a range of colors and finishes, to further personalize your design. This gives every building a unique character.
An important factor for those who care about the environment is that the aluminum facade cladding is fully recyclable and can also be made of previously recycled material. The slats are designed to be long-lasting and have minimal environmental impact, in keeping with increasingly popular sustainable development trends.
Exterior slats are the perfect solution for those looking to combine modern design with practical benefits. Products such as MB-Earthline are durable, beautiful and versatile, which is why they meet the expectations of the most demanding customers.
