Carpentier launches a prototype of a wooden shutter with seamless façade integration. This innovation gives architects the freedom to achieve a uniform and refined façade appearance.
An innovative outdoor sun shade that elegantly combines functionality and design? As a pioneer in circular timber solutions, we are proud to present a shutter that seamlessly integrates the wooden frame and the adjustable slats into timber cladding. Without visible aluminium or plastic elements, and with optimal light control.
The new outdoor shutter stands out thanks to its fully wooden frame, made from high-quality thermo ash. This material offers the same strength as a traditional steel frame, but without visible aluminium or polypropylene parts. The slender design of the wooden shutter creates a subtle, modern look, while the adjustable wooden slats provide optimal light control and privacy.
What makes this innovation unique? The sliding wooden frame that can move across the full width of the façade. This ensures maximum flexibility: the shutter can easily be positioned in front of the window or slid away, depending on the need for light and warmth. The option to produce the slats in a rectangular or elliptical shape offers additional choices in terms of design and light diffusion.
Carpentier is renowned for its expertise in sustainable and smart timber solutions, such as the QuickClip® cladding and decking boards. The new outdoor timber shutter fits in perfectly with this. Thanks to its seamless design, the sun shade with outdoor slats forms a harmonious whole with the façade, without disruptive transitions or visible nails. This gives architects the opportunity to create a uniform and refined façade appearance, in which the sun shade is no longer a visual interruption, but an integral part of the design.
Sustainability is a core value at Carpentier, and the prototype of the outdoor timber shutter is no exception. The use of thermo ash from sustainably managed forests guarantees a long service life and minimal environmental impact. Moreover, the outdoor sun shade with wooden slats contributes to passive cooling: by keeping out the sun and promoting natural ventilation, the sun shade helps to keep indoor temperatures pleasant without excessive use of air conditioning. Another added benefit? The refined mechanism, with quiet and smooth operation, which can also be automated with an energy-efficient motor. More comfort and less energy consumption.
This innovation fits seamlessly within Carpentier's broader vision: developing high-quality, sustainable timber solutions that offer added value both technically and aesthetically. The shutter perfectly answers the demand for circular and bio-based building materials, in which natural raw materials are used optimally without compromising on quality and performance. In short, with this latest innovation, Carpentier once again proves that sustainability, design and functionality go perfectly hand in hand, without compromise.
Carpentier also offers XXL shutters made to measure. Thanks to the extra-long wooden slats, even large window sections can be stylishly fitted with a natural outdoor sun shade, fully tailored to the design and perfectly suited to a sleek and uniform façade appearance.
