Sun Control Devices

                                                            

Exterior Sun Control

Architectural Fabrication's extruded aluminum sun control devices are fabricated from a typical profile or custom to meet your design and application requirements. Depending on the infill (airfoils, "z" blades, flat tube, etc.) and it's spacing and angle, our sun controls can greatly reduce the sun's heat and help with energy conservation. 

Architectural Fabrication's sales group (along with its design and engineering dept.) is eager to assist and help provide a quality, cost effective solution for any sun control project. We have in-house designers who work with Architects to create good "green" design. We then provide support throughout the production and installation process.  Whether welded or mechanically fastened, our sun control devices are designed and fabricated by professionals who've dedicated years to their craft.

We provide many services with our own forces, including design and VALUE ENGINEERING, fabrication (welded or mechanically fastened), maintained communication with the onsite super., and on time problem free installations. Our design and engineering dept  in particular, has a reputation in the industry for their capabilities and quality workmanship, and they excel at a variety of forming techniques including architectural aluminum sun controls of all types. These in-house capabilities allow Architectural Fabrication to respond quickly to any challenge presented.
