AS&D Aluminum Sunshades:
Architectural Control
Sunshade systems play a critical role in both building performance and facade expression, especially in multi-family and mixed-use projects.
Our aluminum sunshade louver systems are designed to give architects and developers precise control over light, solar gain, and visual rhythm, while maintaining consistency across large elevations and repeatable building modules.
Design Flexibility
Multiple louver infill profiles, including Airfoil, Blade and Tube, to achieve the desired balance of shade and visibility.
Flat or Radius front trim options to compliment modern, traditional or softened facade styles.
Configurable systems that adapt easily to balconies, corridors, window lines, and continuous facades.
Performance & Project Efficiency
In-house manufactured aluminum systems ensure uniform appearance across multi-story elevations.
Lightweight construction reduces structural load while supporting long spans
Powder-coated finishes provide long-term color stability and low maintenance. Ideal for high occupancy buildings.
Designed for repeatability, helping streamline detailing, approval and installations across large developments.
Expand Your Outdoor Offerings
A well designed patio cover allows contractors and builders to deliver usable outdoor living space year-round, turning patios, decks, and backyard into functional extensions of the home.
Our aluminum patio cover systems give you the flexibility to offer shade, weather protection, and architectural continuity, while maintaining durability and low maintenance for homeowners.
