The Modern Metal Sunshade Panels with Ventilated Cavity System are designed to replace obsolete façade assemblies in manufacturing and industrial facilities. Integrating powder-coated aluminum sunshade panels with a ventilated cavity and control logic, this retrofit solution improves shading, restores airflow, reduces thermal load, and enhances occupant comfort. Ideal for legacy buildings where original louvers and ventilation panels have corroded, misaligned, or clogged, this system provides measurable energy savings, lower maintenance, and long-term façade performance.
