Overview

Vertical or horizontal blades fixed to a façade to shade the glazing behind them. Formed from aluminium sheet as a folded or boxed section, so each fin is light, straight and stiff along its length. Spaced and angled to the sun path on the drawing; powder coated or brushed for exterior use.
