The developers behind London鈥檚 Walkie Talkie tower have finalised a solution to prevent the tower beaming extreme heat on to the streets below in summer.

Land Securities and Canary Wharf Group plan to fit horizontal aluminium fins across the south-facing facade from level three up to just below the sky garden and restaurants.

The firms said the fins had been designed by Rafael Vinoly Architects, which designed the distinctive building, alongside solar glare experts Loisos + Ubbelohde and Gordon Ingram Associates.

The 37-storey tower, officially named 20 Fenchurch Street, gained the nickname 鈥榃alkie Scorchie鈥� last summer after reflected heat melted part of a Jaguar car and fried an egg.

Land Securities and joint developer Canary Wharf have previously told 好色先生TV the solution will cost 鈥渓ow single digit millions鈥�, within the 拢500m project鈥檚 existing contingency fund.

With planning consent the fins should be fitted by the end of the year.

Today the developers said they had submitted a planning application to the City of London for a brise soleil system on the southern fa莽ade of building.

In a statement the developers said: 鈥淢odelling shows the brise soleil will prevent solar glare by absorbing and diffusing sun light, thus preventing it being reflected from the building.

鈥淚t is made up of a series of horizontal aluminium fins that run across the southern fa莽ade, installed from level 3 up to level 34.

鈥淚f approved, installation is expected to take approximately six months.

鈥淗andover of the pre-let office floors remains on schedule and the Sky Garden is scheduled to open for business in late 2014 as always planned.鈥�
