Architectural & Sun Screens add interest to a
building’s façade and can also reduce heat gain, glare,
and energy costs. As a sun screen, perforated panels
on the exterior building surface, overhangs, or
walkways where heat gain is a problem can reduce the
building’s energy consumption. Variations in the
perforation pattern control the amount of light that
enters from the exterior as well as the visual
translucence of the panel from the interior.
EPIC Architectural & Sun Screens are available in six
profiles that can be specified in various gages and
depths to meet design span requirements. Contact
EPIC Metals for a consultation on your next project.

Consistent coverage shall be maintained so that panels located in adjacent bays will be properly aligned.
B. Cutting of type (EST), (EST4), (ESV), (ESW), (ESE) or (APEXscreen™) screen panels to suit jobsite conditions shall be performed in a neat and professional manner, (no cutting torches). Only those openings indicated on the structural drawings shall be cut. Other openings shall be cut and reinforced by those requiring the openings as approved by the Structural Engineer. Exposed raw edges must be touched-up with coatings that have an equal endurance to that of the original coating.
