This Saxun louvre system, available in various models, protects the façade of this educational establishment, which is home to more than 2,000 students.
In the city of San José, Costa Rica, an educational centre designed to accommodate more than 2,000 students has been protected by a latticework system; this is one of the most ambitious projects undertaken by the Ministry of Public Education in the country in recent years.
One indication of the importance of this space to the nation is that its inauguration was presided over by the President of the Republic, Luis Guillermo Solís. Today we would like to showcase a very special installation in the neighbourhood of La Carpio, on the outskirts of San José, Costa Rica – a country where the high levels of sunshine throughout the year make protection a top priority in construction.

The various photographs accompanying this text show the louvre models installed at the school: the Z, the O-210 and the O-300.
The Z model, which in this installation is made of aluminium, can also be supplied in PVC to offer attractive performance at a more affordable price. The brackets are die-cut at regular intervals, allowing for various angles to facilitate the levelling of the slats without the need for fixing screws.
The O-210 and O-300 models are designed to cover large areas on façades where it is necessary to control the amount of light entering and to prevent water ingress or the effects of the wind. Although they are typically installed vertically, they can also be fitted horizontally, depending on the technical and aesthetic requirements of the space to be protected.
Although both models are available with motorised options, in this case the decision was taken to install them by fixing the slats in a specific orientation using mounting systems, thereby adapting them to the specific requirements of the façade in a geographical area where sunlight is virtually constant throughout the daylight hours.
