Fins, screens and mashrabiya that cut the sun
Aluminium fins, slats and screens stop the sun before it reaches the glass.
In the Gulf, the sun is the enemy of a glass building. Metal stops it first.
In the Gulf, the sun is the enemy of a glass building. Metal fins, slats and screens stop the sun before it reaches the glass. They cut the cooling cost, and they give the building a strong look from the street. We design and make these in aluminium, in any shape and any colour.

Aluminium fins, slats and sunshades
Vertical fins, horizontal slats and projecting sunshades. Fixed or movable. We calculate the angle for the sun path of your site.
Perforated screens and expanded metal mesh
Aluminium sheets with a pattern of holes, or stretched metal mesh. They hide car parks and plant rooms, and they shade walkways. The pattern can be your logo or a design of your own.
Mashrabiya screens
The traditional screen of the Gulf, made in aluminium. It gives privacy and shade, and it lets air through. We cut any pattern, from classic to modern.

We draw each façade before we build it.
Our team works with the façade consultant at each step. We review each variable that can affect the design and the installation.

How much cooling cost can sun control save?
Fins and screens can cut the solar heat on a glass wall by half. The saving depends on the direction of the wall and the hours of sun. We can calculate it for you.
Can the screens have our own pattern?
Yes. We cut the pattern with CNC machines, so any pattern is possible. Send us a drawing or a photo.
How do you fix the fins to the building?
With aluminium brackets to the slab or to the curtain wall mullions. Every bracket is calculated for the wind load.
