Sunshades
Exterior aluminum sunshades — sometimes called brise soleil — that block direct summer sun while admitting winter sun and diffuse daylight. Four blade profiles, multiple spacings, custom angles tuned to your latitude.
Blade profiles
Airfoil blade
Aerodynamic airfoil blades. Premium look for premium façades.
Tube blade
Cylindrical tube blades, contemporary look, multiple spacings.
Narrow standard blade
Low-cost, high-visibility through the blades.
Standard blade
Standard blade sunshade — low cost, low visibility through.
Block summer sun. Admit winter sun.
The goal of a sunshade is to block direct sun during the cooling season while admitting it during the heating season. We tune blade angles to your latitude and façade orientation to deliver real energy savings.
Extruded aluminum construction reduces weight and gives superior corrosion resistance. Sunshades can be painted (baked enamel or Kynar 500), or anodized — and we computer-color-match to any other façade component.
Custom designs welcome
Pick from our blade library — or send us a sketch. We've built one-off airfoil profiles, oversized rigging-supported spans, and brise soleil systems coordinated with curtainwall mullions. If you can draw it, we can probably extrude it.

Send us your elevation, latitude, and orientation — we'll suggest blade angles and a profile that matches your aesthetic and your shading targets.
