Sunshades
Our architectural sunshades, including airfoil, vertical, and perforated designs, reduce solar heat gain while enhancing building aesthetics. Engineered for durability and customization, they meet LEED standards and integrate seamlessly with commercial facades. Ideal for optimizing energy efficiency in new and retrofit projects.
Architectural Grilles
Custom grilles in egg crate, tube, and louver designs provide ventilation and decorative appeal. Fabricated from high-quality metals with PVDF coatings, they ensure long-term performance in parking structures, commercial buildings, and LEED-certified developments.
Panel Systems
Rainscreen, wet joint, and glazed panel systems offer lightweight, durable cladding solutions. Designed for structural performance and thermal movement, they support seamless installation and are available in aluminum composite, plate, and perforated configurations for modern architectural applications.
Entrance Metal Systems
Frameless glass door systems and stainless steel cladding solutions deliver minimalist elegance for commercial spaces. Our products feature adjustable hardware, dry-glaze technology, and rapid delivery, ensuring secure, visually striking entrances for malls, offices, and healthcare facilities.
Cladding
Custom aluminum and MCM cladding systems protect and enhance building exteriors. With options for curved surfaces and seamless corners, they combine lightweight durability with design flexibility, meeting ASTM standards for air, water, and structural performance in diverse climates.
