Faber Blinds (UK) Limited recently added the finishing touches to the shading of a bespoke rooflight area at the recent £18.7m rebuild and refurbishment project at Oasis Academy Coulsdon. The finish to the Agora roof section has made a stunning impact on
the concourse, auditorium and rest areas that sit below.
Working closely with architects Sheppard Robson and the main contractor Willmott Dixon, Faber supplied 6 x 1800 fabric tension rooflight blinds that spanned the entire width of the roof light space. Each blind was cut to a 3.2 m width and tapered to 1.6
m that gave each blind the appearance of a sail. Each blind was staggered alternatively at each end of the roof space, left to right and right to left, to create a unique feature to the rooflight rather than the appearance of a blackout or solar shading solution.
