Commercial Sunshade Design
Aluminum commercial sunshades come in different designs and are called by other industry names. Here’s a great example of techniques used in retail, multi-family, and commercial projects.
Different Industry Names. Same Superior Product.
Sunshade Awnings
Also known as aluminum sunshades, sunshade awnings are the exact same product as our aluminum sunshades. To learn the difference between Commercial Awnings and Aluminum Sunshades, you’ve come to the right place
Sunshade Canopies
Also known as aluminum sunshades, sunshade canopies are the same product as our aluminum sunshades. We make a clear distinction between Aluminum Sunshades and Aluminum Canopies because sunshades have louvers for decks that allow sunlight through, and canopies are solid, blocking all sunlight and weather.
Brise Soleil
Also known as aluminum sunshades, Brise Soleil is the same product as our aluminum sunshades, just a different industry term. They both have aluminum louvers for decks and can mount with tie-rods or cantilevered. To see more examples of Brise Soleil Aluminum Sunshades, click below.

What is a Commercial Sunshade?
Louvered Sunshades
The louvered deck is the primary function of Sunshades. The louvers are aluminum blades that are set at an angle in accordance with your region’s solar altitude. This allows for the Aluminum Louvered Sunshade to provide sustainable heating during the cold months and to cool during the warm months.
Solar Altitude
The Solar Altitude Angle is the angle between the sun’s rays and a horizontal plane. Why this matters is the calculation is done per your region’s solar altitude angle to determine the angle and projection of the aluminum sunshade. This is very important because it provides shading during the warm months by blocking the sunlight from entering the window below. Then, during the cold months, the sunshade allows sunlight to pass through the window to warm the space. This creates a natural and sustainable way to help heat and cool your commercial space.
