Sun Controls are an excellent solution for reducing solar heat gain through exterior architectural solar shading. Linear sunshade systems can be mounted horizontally or vertically in front of windows, effectively shading the interior even when the sun is low on the horizon. These systems can also serve as custom architectural elements on buildings. For the most personalized options, Facades by Design™ allows graphics, photography, branding, signage, and more to be printed on these linear systems.
Advantages
• Blades can run horizontal or vertical • Provides occupants visual and thermal comfort • Minimizes direct solar heat gain to reduce cooling costs and the heat island effect • Helps reduce glare • Functions as an architectural feature for the building with highly customizable design options • Nearly unlimited combination of blade and mounting solutions • Blades are available in single and two-piece extrusions • Fully engineered system is assembled for easy installation • Optional LED Lux lighting • Optional Facades by Design graphics, photography, branding and signage can be printed on the extrusions to create visual interest
Applications
• Any application where either solar (daylighting) control is required, custom architectural accents are desired, or a functioning vision barrier is needed.
Airfoil Lux™ Sunshades
Airfoil Lux Sunshades provide effective solar shading during the day and transform into a striking architectural feature at night. These energy-efficient sunshades incorporate low-voltage LED lights within a translucent polycarbonate nosing, offering millions of RGB color combinations. The 8" or 12" wide airfoil blades can be mounted vertically or horizontally, creating an impressive architectural accent both day and night.
Advantages
• Dramatically illuminates your building during evening hours • Functions as an architectural feature for the building • Energy-efficient and weather resistant LED lighting with 40,000-hour lifespan • Lighting available in the complete Pantone® color range • Minimizes direct solar heat gain to reduce cooling costs and the heat island effect • Provides occupants visual and thermal comfort • Helps reduce glare • Horizontal or vertical blade options • Highly customizable design options • Suitable for all climates • Designed for wind and snow loads • Fully engineered system assembled for easy installation
Applications
• Any application where either solar (daylighting) control is required, custom architectural accents are desired, or a functioning vision barrier is needed
Twisted Sunshades
This twisted extrusion sunshade system is ideal for design enthusiasts aiming to add aesthetic appeal, excitement, and the illusion of movement to their buildings. Rather than mounting blades at different angles, this system features twisted blades that mimic the appearance of waves.
Advantages
• Create the illusion of movement on a facade • Design flexibility • Promotes lower energy use • Reduces glare and solar heat gain • Allows filtered light into a building • Increases safety and security
Applications
• Decorative facades • Parking facilities
