What Types of Metal Sunshades Can You Choose From?
We manufacture several types of metal sunshades, each offering different visual and functional benefits.
Perforated Sunshades
Perforated metal panels can be used as sunshades to filter sunlight while maintaining outward visibility. They also allow airflow, making them suitable for shading large glazed areas or ventilated spaces.
Woven Wire Mesh
Woven wire mesh sunshades create a distinctive architectural feature while providing shading and visual transparency. The open weave diffuses light and adds texture without fully enclosing the space.
Lasercut Sunshades
Laser cut sunshades allow for intricate patterns, branding or decorative elements that also serve as functional shading. Ideal for bespoke designs or areas where visual impact is a key part of the brief.
Top Applications for Our Sunshade Cladding
Metal sunshades are used across a wide range of sectors to improve comfort, reduce energy use and enhance building design.
- Office and commercial buildings with large areas of glazing
- Educational campuses where temperature and glare control are essential
