Illustration · brise-soleil canopy facing the mountains
In Corte, you want shade in July and sun in January. A well-designed brise-soleil does both: it stops the high summer sun in front of the glass and lets the low winter sun through.

Choosing well
As a canopy,or as louvres.
The sun is stopped above the glazed opening, or in front of it.
It blocks the sun’s rays and lets natural light in.
High temperatures
It limits heat. Your rooms stay cool and the light stays pleasant.
Air conditioning
You use less air conditioning, so less energy.
A façade to shape
Its louvres create shadows and plays of light, in keeping with the architecture of your villa.
Bad weather
It is made of aluminium, wood or steel, robust materials that are easy to maintain.

The brise-soleil shields the house from the sun and gives it its style.
Designed for the architecture of your villa
Every project is different. So we work with you to make sure the brise-soleil suits the architecture of your villa and your taste.
A made-to-measure brise-soleil protects from the sun and also shapes the look of your property. Its louvres create subtle plays of light and elegant shadows that change the atmosphere of your outdoor space.
From the first meeting to installation
It all starts with an in-depth conversation about your needs and wishes. We then work with you at every stage of the project, from design to installation. Once installed, your made-to-measure brise-soleil should meet your expectations of quality, design and use.
Made-to-measure brise-soleil and thermal comfort
Having your made-to-measure brise-soleil made by LumiDesign
A made-to-measure brise-soleil is both useful and beautiful. It protects your villa from the Mediterranean sun and brings refinement to your outdoor space. Call us or visit the Porticcio showroom to see what a made-to-measure brise-soleil would bring to your villa in Corsica.
Corte’s climate has two clear-cut seasons: a hot, dry summer and a cold winter. Protection that stays closed all year round does not suit it. Fitted as a canopy above a window, a fixed brise-soleil cuts out the high summer sun; in winter the sun is low, passes underneath and comes into the room.
It all comes down to the design: the orientation of the window, the height of the sun according to the season, the projection needed. At the bottom of a valley surrounded by mountains, the terrain matters too, since it hides the sun earlier or later depending on the house. We look at it at your home, during the technical visit.
Tellier Brise-Soleil makes brise-soleil with wooden slats, the WOOD’LIGNE range, and with aluminium slats, fixed or adjustable. Wood suits a stone house; aluminium comes in anodised, powder-coated or wood-effect finishes.
For its wooden brise-soleil, Tellier backs their strength with a structural calculation that takes account of wind, snow and seismic risk. In Corte, where winter can bring snow, it is a question to ask from the outset: we go over it with you according to the location of the house.
An adjustable brise-soleil, or BSO, is an exterior venetian blind: its aluminium slats tilt and lift. Roma states that up to 75% of the sun’s heat is reflected before it reaches the glazing, and the bottom of the blind can stay closed while the top is tilted to light the room.
Mountain storms arrive quickly. With Roma, a wind sensor raises the brise-soleil above a set threshold, and a sun sensor lowers them when the sun beats down. Bandalux states that its Z70 and Z90 BSO withstand winds up to 76 km/h, which is class 5 under the EN 13659 standard.
Yes, fixed or adjustable, in Corte as in the villages in the centre of the island. Our showroom is in Porticcio, near Ajaccio, and we work throughout Corsica. We carry out the technical visit at your home, then our team installs the brise-soleil.
Does a brise-soleil deprive the house of winter sun?
Not if it is well designed. As a canopy above a window, it stops the high summer sun and lets the low winter sun through. With adjustable slats, you can also control the light through the day. See our page on brise-soleil.
Does a wooden brise-soleil stand up to winter in Corte?
For its wooden brise-soleil, Tellier backs their strength with a structural calculation that takes account of wind, snow and seismic risk. We go over the question with you, according to the façade and the location of the house, during the technical visit.
Fixed or adjustable brise-soleil for a house in Corte?
The fixed type, as a canopy, follows the seasons without being touched. Theadjustable type also follows the day, down to darkness with the slats closed, and can be raised; with Roma, a wind sensor raises it above a set threshold. The choice depends on the window and how the room is used.
How much does a brise-soleil cost in Corte?
Each brise-soleil is made to measure: its price depends on the model, the dimensions and the options. We price it on quotation, after the technical visit. The configurator helps you picture it.
How can I contact you to discuss my sun protection or outdoor design project?
Our team answers your questions and presents our services. You can reach us in three ways:
By phone, on +33 6 42 26 51 69, to discuss your project or book an appointment.
A brise-soleil controls sunlight and heat in the home. It blocks the sun’s rays, lets natural light in and enhances your outdoor space. As you use the air conditioning less, it also helps reduce energy consumption.
Which materials do you use to make bespoke brise-soleil?
We use high-quality materials such as aluminium, wood or steel. They are robust, weather-resistant and easy to maintain. Each brise-soleil is made to measure, to suit your space and your taste.
Can I personalise my brise-soleil?
Yes. Each brise-soleil is designed to measure, according to your needs and your project. You choose the dimensions, materials, colours and, if you wish, a motorisation system.
