Shade Factor’s motorised operable façade screens are bespoke bi-fold panels that fold neatly when not in use, providing high-performance external sun shading with precision and elegance. Designed for façades, balconies, and other architectural elements, these screens integrate seamlessly into the building envelope, maintaining a clean, refined appearance.
Crafted in Australia, each panel operates smoothly and quietly, without rattling in wind, and can be configured in sets of 1, 2, 4, or 6 panels folding to either side. Standard sizes reach up to 1,150mm wide x 4,000mm high, with larger or customised shapes available to meet project-specific structural and cladding requirements.
