Custom Facade Screening
Available as a complete engineering package, our Atmosphere, Aurora and Transit Mesh façade systems were created to help simplify choice, shorten lead times and streamline installation. All the while, these systems offer you the design flexibility and functionality that Valmont® Structures solutions are known for.
Sun Shade Screening
Reduced Energy Costs
Sun shading facades have been shown to reduce energy costs anywhere from 5% to 25% depending on a number of factors including building size, climate and materials used.
Visual Comfort / Lighting Control
By reducing glare in some parts of a building and allowing light to enter others, sun shading facades provide the ultimate visual comfort by controlling glare, light contrast ratios, as well as occupant comfort from heat gain.
Architectural Differentiation
A variety of materials, textures and imagery offer you the ultimate control over passive solar heating and cooling design. By choosing a sun shade façade from Valmont Structures, you get aesthetic options that allow your building to stand out, complement surrounding structures or blend in seamlessly.
Directional Control
Depending on the orientation of your structure, the sun will have a different impact on each elevation of your building. Sun shading facades give you the flexibility to optimize sunlight. More shading for southern and western exposures, less for those facing north and east.
Parking Garage Structures
Gone are the days when parking garages were accepted as a practical solution for the need to park a large number of cars in landlocked urban environments. Today, Valmont® Structures is helping show architects how parking garages can be transformed into a structure that enhances its surroundings while adding new benefits such as protection of pedestrians and their vehicles as well as reductions in light pollution.
Safety
Safety begins by protecting people as they move in an out of the facility and keeping vehicles protected when they’re parked. Each of our façade systems are compatible with a tested vehicle safety barrier and integral façade attachment system – all supplied as a complete engineered solutions.
Efficiency
Movement of people and vehicles into and around the parking garage is paramount to efficiency. We believe efficiency also means designing and manufacturing structural components that stand up to the elements and are easy to maintain.
Ventilation
Ventilation of automotive exhaust and other vehicle-related contaminants is vital to the health of the parking public, and for meeting code mandated open-air requirements. But it also extends to keeping facilities cool in the summer and minimizing cold winter winds.
Aesthetic Value
Whether new construction or retrofit, our facades offer you the opportunity to create nearly any aesthetic. This ensures the parking garage elevates the visual beauty of the neighborhood and the larger urban cityscape.
