Ehret reinvents facade design: when the sliding shutter becomes an architectural signature

A successful aesthetic and technical gamble: these shutters are not simple closures, but true facade elements — clean lines, natural materials, refined integration into the landscape.

Sliding shutters: solar filter and natural ventilation

In the south of France, sliding shutters are proving to be a climate-friendly solution. The large 4-meter bay window is equipped with four panels featuring 100 mm wide perforated slats, calibrated for the southwest exposure of the living areas: they filter the low sun, control heat gain and maintain ample light.

The precisely dimensioned perforations are tight enough to limit glare and heat, but open enough to allow the space to breathe.

The result: effective sun protection that preserves privacy without darkening the space. The louvers promote natural cross-ventilation: air circulates, summer comfort improves, and the need for air conditioning decreases. A discreet, aesthetically pleasing, and durable system that enhances the facade while improving interior well-being.

On the ground floor, the sliding shutters of the bay window are equipped with solar motorization, guaranteeing energy autonomy without electrical connection.

Mounted on a double rail, with continuous guidance, they offer smooth and precise movement; a finishing cover seals the upper suspension rail and the motor block, for discreet and neat integration.

On a daily basis, a practical system that combines energy efficiency, clean aesthetics and ease of use, while preserving the architectural readability of the facade.

At the crossroads of design and performance, EHRET presents an elegant and durable façade, designed for summer comfort. The perforated slats of the sliding doors control light, promote natural ventilation, and preserve privacy, while the solar-powered motor provides ease of use with true energy independence.

Mounted on a double rail and seamlessly integrated thanks to the finishing cover, the shutters offer smooth and silent operation. Combining customizable finishes, durable materials, and energy efficiency, this project exemplifies the EHRET promise: passive solar protection that enhances the architecture and improves interior comfort, for the long term.
