Wausau Window and Wall Systems offers a variety of pre-engineered, exterior “brise soleil” sun shades. These static, outrigger-supported assemblies usually are anchored to curtainwall or window wall mullions. Wausau also fabricates self-supporting, exterior sun shade structures.

Wausau’s menu of available sun shade types includes:

Aerofoil louvers

Catwalk grid gratings

Trapezoidal “no perch” tubes

Square, rectangular and oval cross pieces and nosings

Variously shaped, solid panel shading – both vertical and horizontal

Transparent, translucent or silk-screened glass sun shades For interior applications, light shelves are most effective for relatively clear climates at mid-latitudes for south orientations. Typically, light shelves are attached to mullions and installed below clerestory or transom windows. This placement allows them to effectively redirect daylight onto a light-colored ceiling, improving penetration of the direct sun.

Wausau’s Clear Story aluminum sun shades and light shelves may be specified with high recycled content. Wausau manufactures aluminum light shelves with the upper surface finished in clear anodize or painted white. Generally, these finishes are coupled with matte or diffuse reflective surfaces to maintain cleanliness and functionality. Wausau’s aluminum products can be finished in more than 30,000 colors. Many environmentally friendly finish options are available, including liquid paints that can be composed of up to 100 percent post-industrial waste, or powder paint and anodize finishes that can be specified as VOC-free coatings.
