Shade Mapping

Shade Mapping

Shade Mapping offers Architects with a forward-looking approach in planning for Engineered Shading Solutions. It provides extensive detail of where each type of shade is located on each of the floor plans. This provides Architects detailed visual information and the ability to reference the shade details.  

A shade section detail provides extensive information on the parts and components that make up each different type of shade on a project. 

All network and electrical wiring is detailed. This is critical for all phases of the project, from estimating to installation.

Specific wood blocking details are shown for the mounting of the shades.

Here is a unique project showing angled and incline windows. Our engineers provided a detailed shade map for this.

The shade map shows locations of the various engineered shading solutions specified for this project.

Here is the elevation showing the shade locations.

Shade Mapping represents the logical progression of building design and execution.  Shade Mapping is offered to Architects as a free service in exchange for being the specified vendor.
