SunshadesMost manufacturers’ have standard sunshade products and Linel is no exception. By when a building requires a totally unique signature, such as water jet cut ½” thick aluminum plate fins with sequentially different radiused depths, Linel is a go-to source.

Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf Linel was chosen to assist the architect with the design concept, also for the fulfillment stage and was awarded the contract to perform the custom sun shade project. The rotunda features a dual radius, tighter at the ends with a larger radius in the main portion. The top crown is comprised of an outer ring, 36 inches deep by 24 feet long, stretch formed to a true radius and connecting to secondary supports. Primary supports were clad with custom finished aluminum panels to match zinc. True zinc panel fascia panels are just behind the upper crown. Four successive lower sun shade rings are in segmented sections, all following the varying radii. The entrance vestibule has stainless steel cladding and a cantilevered glass roof. Linel engineered, fabricated and installed all exterior work at the rotunda except the glazing, structural steel, and roof. On the interior, at the glass, at each sun shade ring level are continuous convector grilles and covers custom fabricated by Linel, each made to follow the compound radii. Linel
