IPE Sunshade

An Ipe sunshade typically consists of louvers, slats, or panels made from Ipe hardwood, installed on the exterior of buildings—usually over windows, façades, patios, or pergolas—to reduce solar heat gain and glare.

• Solar Control: Reduces direct sunlight exposure, lowering indoor temperatures. Helps improve energy efficiency by minimizing reliance on air conditioning.
• Natural Beauty: Ipe has a rich, elegant appearance with deep brown tones and fine grain. Adds warmth and texture to modern or traditional architecture.
• Durability: Ipe is extremely strong and weather-resistant. Withstands UV exposure, moisture, and harsh outdoor conditions without warping or fading quickly.

IPE Sunshade: An Overview

Ipe Sunshades are architectural elements made from Ipe wood (Brazilian Walnut), designed to block direct sunlight while enhancing the aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency of a building. These sunshades are typically installed on façades, windows, terraces, or outdoor structures to provide shade, reduce heat gain, and offer privacy — all while showcasing the rich, natural beauty of Ipe wood.
