A new low-maintenance and sound-absorbing retractable sunscreen has been developed by Hunter Douglas and incorporated into a prestigious Passiv Haus project in Brussels. ProScreen is a unique exterior sunscreen system with a patented noise reduction insert that provides superior sound-absorbing properties in addition to up to 75% sun glare protection and up to 85% heat entry reduction. Architect practice A2M commissioned 206 units for its Anvers Simons FrontiSpice scheme, after being impressed with the guiding system which comprises a spring that counteracts movement, enabling noise to be completely absorbed. ProScreen is also significantly cheaper than existing alternatives that use a brush or plastic insert profile over the entire length of the guiding profile.
