MaxBlock Tubular can be mounted to Tubelite 200 Series or 400 Series Curtainwall
MaxBlock® Tubular Sun Shades
•Minimize solar heat gain through efficient shade factor design
• Reduce cooling costs and energy use
• Credits available for LEED projects
• Patent-pending detachable mounting bracket designed to allow reglazing
• Variety of blade and outrigger styles available
• Finishes to match or contrast with curtainwall framing
• Distinctive architectural design
Tubular – 2 3/4” round blade: This is our strongest design with greatest resistance to windload. It has a curved outrigger with a 3 3/4” tubular fascia and is able to span up to 142” at 65psf.
Effectively reduce solar heat gain by shading vision glass areas of the building envelope with Tubelite’s MaxBlock® Sunshades. Cooling costs can be significantly lowered, while still allowing natural light to fill the workspace.
MaxBlock Sunshades are designed for use with Tubelite 200 Series Curtainwalls, 400 Series Curtainwalls, or the Tubelite Storefront product lines.
A unique, easy to install outrigger bracket fastens at the pressure plate area and allows removal of individual sections of sun shade for reglazing applications.
A variety of architectural profiles are available to complement surrounding elements. Three outrigger types with corresponding blade styles and facia caps can be selected. Each type can then be extended from the building in projections of 20”, 25”, 30” and 35” to provide the desired performance. Blades are attached to the outriggers using simple screw spline connections.
LEED Program points are available for reducing building energy costs for cooling while supplementing interior lighting (Energy & Atmosphere Credit 1, 1-10 Points).
Estimate the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient on the glass by geography using our convenient tables. See Tubelite’s technical data in the full product information binder.
