High-tech sun-screens or panels, regardless their orientation to the solar radiation, are machines of a rare complexity. Their specific characteristic is the shape which comes from a deep study of solids or geometrical textures interacting in terms of symmetry.

From shape, the objects must be processed in order to assure a very strict predetermined natural lighting. Natural lighting can be filtered, shadowed, layered, diffused, directed, etc. In accordance with specific requirements.
Very rarely the elements of a sun-screen can be extruded or assembled, due to the complexity of the cavities and wall shapes. Technically, the best industrial process for this kind of production is the high pressure die-cast injection.

Die-cast injection allows a perfect quantity of melted metal to any part of the solid and this gives the optimal surface and object's body, including the extreme lightness.
Fine mechanical engineering is then necessary for joining together the die-cast elements in order to provide the final panel fabricated exactly to size and shape; geometry and thickness.

Hidden reinforcements, cast hinges and pins; rotating connections are the core mechanisms of sun-screens systems which adapt to variable lay-outs, fit in large surfaces by cell-splitting and follow different shapes: linear, curvilinear and multi-linear.
Our expert professionals are proudly preserving the heritage of the largest Die-Cast sun screen produced and engineered in the world: the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, TX and the engineering of the skylights die-cast options of the Morgan Library in New York, NY.
