Architectural fins provide shading at different times of day and protect the building’s façade from weather elements.

Architectural fins are a striking and versatile feature that enhance both the aesthetic and functional qualities of any building. Available in bespoke profiles such as aerofoil, rectangular, teardrop, and custom shapes, they offer complete design flexibility. Their dynamic form creates engaging light and shadow effects, adding depth and texture to the façade while elevating architectural appeal.

Each bespoke fin design ensures a clean and seamless appearance across the building envelope. The fins are securely mounted to steel, aluminium, or concrete substructures, providing strong and adaptable support. In addition to their visual impact, they deliver effective solar shading, reduce heat gain to improve energy efficiency, and enhance privacy without limiting natural light.

The System

Architectural fins provide a sculptural touch that enhances both appearance and function, with customised profiles to suit any style.
