Rooflight Exterior
The ancient Romans, who designed the atrium*, knew that proper indoor lighting has a positive effect on people’s well-being. Skylights and glass roofs have the same advantages of overhead lighting. However, even a winter garden can be too hot, and sunlight is still needed. With Sunshield, you can control daylight and control solar heat. This is possible by using sun protection, such as external rooflight or internal skylight blinds.

Rooflights come in all shapes and sizes. A small skylight, a series of skylights or a spectacular atrium. There is a solution for every challenge. Rectangular, square, circular, triangular, trapezoidal or pyramidal glass roof? Sunshield has you covered!
Function follows form
Form follows function is a well-known principle from architecture. Thanks to the variety and flexibility of Sunshield’s rack arm systems, louvers can be completely adapted to the roof. Regardless the shape of the roof. This offers the architect enormous creative freedom when designing precisely that form. For Sunshield, the form is then the starting point for a functional sun protection – function follows form. This completes the circle.
Plenty of choice
Sunshield offers a wide range of aluminum and wood blinds. Aluminum blinds come in a wide range of colors. You can choose from powder coated or anodized slat colors. The most popular colors are in stock so orders can be placed faster. Wood slats are usually made from western mahogany. Wood blinds are available in several finishes and colors.
