Sun Control
Sun control energy efficient devices help manage solar heat gain and harvest natural daylight to meet sustainable design goals. They work in concert with the façade and the other building components to improve occupant comfort by redirecting sunlight.
Sunshades have a few common characteristics. A sun control device usually has an outer frame (outrigger), an inner component (louver), and fascia components. Thermashade® sunshades can be applied to curtain wall, storefront facades, and also masonry walls to maintain a consistent appearance across the building envelope.
When integrated with YKK AP’s thermally broken systems, our innovative anchoring methods ensure that the thermal performances of the host systems are maintained. YKK AP’s patented system design provides pre-engineered solutions yielding extensive flexibility, design freedom, speed of delivery, and ease of installation.
