Sun breaker and baffle profiles: geometry versus shading design
Sun breaker and baffle profiles should be selected within a coordinated facade or ceiling layout. The section dimensions identify the component; spacing and orientation determine the architectural arrangement.
Selection considerations
Show support rails, fixing points and clearances on drawings. Distinguish a decorative baffle from a component intended for an externally loaded assembly. Ask for the selected profile's connection detail rather than using a generic clamp.
Coordinate shading objectives, maintenance access and project loading with the appropriate designers. Include ends and corner transitions in the schedule. Keep colour and finish samples linked to full codes so several similar linear profiles remain identifiable through procurement.
Before you specify or order
- Draw spacing and orientation
- Confirm support and connection details
- Distinguish decorative and external applications

Common question
Does profile width alone establish shading performance?
No. Orientation, spacing and the building geometry also affect the design.
