What is a cantilevered sunshade?

Cantilevered sunshades are an architectural element that offer both practical and aesthetic benefits. They are mounted on one side by a vertical post and extend out without the need for additional support from underneath. This design creates a modern and sleek aesthetic while simultaneously providing maximum coverage from the sun during the hottest times of the day. A cantilevered sunshade can instantly enhance the look of a building or outdoor area, providing an eye-catching accent that complements the space.

Here are some of the key factors to consider before selecting a new cantilevered sunshade system for your business:

‍

• dimension totals so the cantilevered sunshade will fit properly
• the location of it and amount of shade it could potentially provide once it’s added 
• any specific colors and materials you want to incorporate in its design
• how it will complement the existing building
