About this asset

This modern grey metal horizontal louvre sunshade Revit family features cantilevered side outriggers supporting parallel tubular blades on an exterior wall. Constructed as a cantilevered exterior shading canopy, the unit comprises flat side mounting brackets with rounded corners that project perpendicularly from the host wall. Between these brackets sits a series of evenly spaced parallel tubular or airfoil-shaped louver blades designed to cut solar heat gain while preserving downward view corridors. A larger circular front profile finishes the leading edge, providing a clean architectural termination and rigid structural tie. The geometry displays a uniform neutral grey powder-coated or anodised metallic finish, suitable for realistic shadow studies and daylighting evaluations.

The download is a 215 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Designed for exterior facade modelling in Revit, this component attaches directly to exterior wall assemblies as an architectural shading element. Once loaded into your project, adjust elevation heights above window headers or curtain wall frames to match facade rhythms. Material finishes can be assigned through object styles or family parameters to coordinate with window mullions, rainscreen panels, or surrounding architectural metalwork.

Engineered for passive solar management, this sun shading device suits commercial office buildings, modern educational facilities, healthcare centres, and contemporary multiresidential facades. It works effectively mounted above ribbon glazing, punched openings, and curtain wall transoms across south-facing and west-facing elevations. Specifiers and facade consultants commonly search for horizontal brise-soleil, facade louver canopy, exterior sunshade, and solar shading components during concept and technical design stages.
