Buildings have to endure substantial amounts of heat from the sun. Metal sunshade louvers block undesired sun and heat gain while allowing natural light into buildings. By reducing negative solar impacts, sunshades can create significant energy savings for the life of a building, especially in hot climates. In particular, when windows are shielded from direct sun, they can provide desirable views and daylighting while avoiding negative glare, fading and excessive heat gain.

Sunshade louvers are also an attractive design element with a distinctive look that can elevate a building’s architectural aesthetic. Numerous blade shapes, blade spacings and trim profiles allow designers to meet project requirements.
