Exterior sunshades and architectural shading fins
Timbermax exterior sunshades, shading fins and exterior louvers combine solar control, privacy and facade design. Shading for a terrace or facade is developed around building orientation, the required spacing and the method of structural fixing.
Profile size, length, orientation, supporting structure, spacing and wind load all influence the design. TIMBERMAX EXOTIC WPC and TIMBERMAX EXOTIC ALWOOD allow the shading elements to coordinate with facades, fencing or pergolas.
Sunshades can be used beside terraces and windows, across facades or as freestanding slatted elements. Dimensions and fixing are determined from the project and structural requirements.
Common questions about WPC sunshades
Sunshade fins help control direct solar gain while adding a strong architectural element to facades and pergolas.
What is a sunshade system?
A sunshade is a system of fixed or oriented fins positioned in front of glazing, a facade or a pergola. Its purpose is to reduce direct solar radiation and overheating without completely blocking daylight.
How do WPC sunshade fins work?
WPC fins provide shading according to their spacing, orientation and depth. Performance depends on building orientation, cardinal direction and solar angle, so correct sizing and placement are as important as the material itself.
Do WPC sunshades require regular maintenance?
Composite fins do not require regular oiling or repainting like timber. Routine care mainly consists of cleaning the surface and checking the supporting structure and fixings.
Where are sunshades commonly used?
They are commonly installed in front of large windows, on terraces, pergolas, balconies and facades. In addition to shading, they can increase privacy and unify the architectural appearance of a building.
