Designed for all types of commercial building exteriors, Tubelite MaxBlock® Airfoil Sun Shade features:Up to 84″ spans at 65 psf5″ airfoil-shaped, multiblade profile – 3 to 6 blades depending on depthStraight outrigger in 20″, 25″, 30″ and 35″ depthsTubelite MaxBlock aluminum sun shades manage solar heat gain by shading vision glass, allow natural light into the building envelope without obscuring the view and add distinctive visual elements. Reducing solar heat gain and the corresponding cooling demands can save utility expenses with energy-efficient performance, while supporting comfortable interiors. The beneficial attributes of these shading devices may contribute to projects seeking certification through U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® rating systems, and other performance-based environmental and wellness programs.Saving installation time, labor and associated costs, Tubelite MaxBlock multiblade sun control devices are engineered with a unique, detachable mounting bracket. It fastens at the pressure plate area and is attached to the outriggers using simple screw-spline connections. The bracket easily integrates with our curtain wall, window wall and storefront systems, including our thermal performance products. The patent-pending bracket design also can be detached in individual sections to accommodate future reglazing applications.The aerodynamic design of the sun shades’ large, horizontal, airfoil blades direct wind and water out and away from the building. Protecting the aluminum and enhancing designs, the sun shades can be finished in choice of durable anodize, colorful painted coatings or specialty options such as simulated woodgrain finishes.Our sun control systems are ideal for retail, office, healthcare, education, hospitality, government, multifamily and other commercial building applications.
