The V-Series standard sunshades from Accurate Perforating are a full line of pre-engineered vertical sunshades designed to add beauty and functionality to any facility. Sunshades provide an economical and durable way to reduce energy cost, update and customize the exterior appearance of a building. This series of perforated metal sunshades are available in four standard widths (12, 18, 24 and 30 inches) and four standard lengths (6, 8, 10 and 12 feet) and can be mixed and match to fit most curtain wall or other window application. A fully integrated mounting bracket system and concealed hardware are included in this system.
The pre-engineered sunshade system reduces or eliminates the need for project specific product testing including wind loading, rain loading and seismic activity rating when applicable. Simply provide project specific information and though the use of our proprietary modeling software the Accurate Perforating architectural team will determine the best system configuration for the project. Complete our online Request A Quote form and our team of architectural specialists will review your project, evaluate the variables and provide a quotation to meet your specifications and requirements.
Standard sunshade panels are available with round holes on either a straight or staggered perforated pattern. Other custom perforated panels are available to accommodate a wide variety of hole sizes, patterns, panel sizes and custom shapes. Contact our office to consult with a member of our team.
Sunshades and screens are effective at controlling the amount of sunlight that reaches the interior of a building, lowering the cooling cost. In cooler climates, these shades also can reduce the necessary heating cost of a facility by reducing the cooling effect of falling rain on the exterior of a building.
The variety of colors and finishes available allow architects and designers to create an array of visual effects. The pre-engineered system helps control the overall project cost.
The proprietary mounting brackets are extruded from 6063-T6 grade aluminum and finished with an architectural grade anodized coating. Each bracket is specifically designed for use on select building materials such as wood, concrete, block and curtain wall. Contact our architectural special for assistance determining the appropriate bracket for a specific project. The (Accu-Shim) self securing shims developed by Accurate Perforating are used to position the sunshade panels into the mounting brackets. These shims are inserted after the mounting hardware is installed, utilizing a unique channel system to perfectly position the shim and secure it in place making it virtually impossible to fall free from the bracket or sunshade. The low profile interlocking hardware used to secure the sunshades to the bracket are corrosion resistant and provide a highly esthetic clean finish to the installation.
The V-Series standard sunshades from Accurate Perforating are designed to provide a fast and economical way to incorporate eco-friendly products and promote Green design initiatives into any building project. However, Accurate Perforating does offer full custom sunshades and facades to accommodate the most creative vision or construction demands. Contact our Architectural Products sales team to discuss how Accurate Perforating can work with you to bring your vision to reality.
