This month we have a new set of passive solar shading details – featuring both timber frame and masonry construction.
The set includes fixed solar fin and overhang surrounds, a proprietary brise soleil, integrated PVC roller shutters with insect screen in both visible and hidden box configurations, and a lifting/folding timber shutter.
Details included in this set:
- DL525 – Fixed PPC coated solar fin and overhang – timber frame and cladding with timber inward opening window
- DL526 – Fixed PPC coated solar fin and overhang – masonry 150mm cavity brick wall with mixed outward opening window
- DL527 – Fixed brise soleil solar overhang – masonry 150mm cavity brick wall with mixed outward opening window
- DL528 – Integrated PVC solar roller shutter and mosquito net – visible box – masonry cavity brick with PVC inward opening window
- DL529 – Integrated PVC solar roller shutter and mosquito net – hidden box – masonry cavity brick with PVC inward opening window
- DL530 – Lifting / folding timber solar shutter – masonry 150mm cavity brick wall with mixed tilt and turn window
We hope you find this latest set useful in your projects.

If you are interested in joining our community, head over to the Detail Library to learn more about our platform and get yourself signed up.
The Detail Library provides hundreds of construction details for you to download and use adjust for your own projects. The details are available in 2D Revit, CAD dwg, and 3D SketchUp. You can start downloading straight away and build your own detail reference library. Not like other BIM libraries, the Detail Library contains fully resolved details rather than individual components.
Hi,
Hope everyone is well. Do you have shopfront details for ground level or two storey. I am a setter out and look at varying ways of creating detailed technical drawings for this element of works. I am involved with glazing, water sealing, stone cladding to shopfront concrete columns, concrete floors, screeds, thermal bridging, floor light in pavements, water drip details at external soffits, timber shopfronts on high streets, mostly glass shopfronts in malls, steel framed shopfronts, electric roller shutters, shopfront demise threshold details, a full array of detailing. If you have extra detailing here I would love to view.
Regards
David
Hi David,
Thanks for your comment.
Unfortunately, we don’t currently have any shopfront details in the library. It sounds like you’ve got experience with some really interesting and specialist junctions!
It’s certainly an area we’d like to expand into in the future, as we know there are relatively few technical resources covering commercial detailing compared with residential work. I’ll make a note of your suggestions, as you’ve highlighted some great detail types that would be valuable to include.
Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch. It’s always helpful to hear what people would like to see added to the library.
