Sun control systems can reduce the cooling requirements of the interior of a building substantially and provide distinctive architectural characteristics to the exterior, says the manufacturer. They are designed and fabricated to the specific size and configuration requirements of the project. Blade designs include louver, airfoil, rectangular tube, and egg crate; the blades are made of extruded aluminum. Kynar®-based painted finishes and anodized finishes are available; the Class 1 color anodized finish is available in champagne, light bronze, medium bronze, dark bronze, and black. The company says it manufactures a wide variety of sun control systems for new and existing construction.
