  • Perforated metal offers architects many options and benefits as a sunshade. The hole size and pattern can change how much light is let through, and how much can be seen through the design element. With the option of being used in both horizontal and vertical formats, or as a screenwall, perforated metal sunshades provide a unique look for buildings and parking garages.
  • Perforated metal's amazing versatility is the reason it's used in industries worldwide. Made from a variety of materials, it offers unique opportunities to combine strength, functionality and decorative aesthetics.
