Outdoor Shading Systems
Shade, shaped by the architecture.
Pergolas, awnings and roller shutters shaped around light, weather, movement, views and the building itself.
Core systems
Pergolas
Louvered roofs that balance shade, ventilation and drainage, with screens, lighting and controls where the project calls for them.
Awnings
Retractable awnings considered through fabric, projection, mounting, movement and solar exposure.
Roller Shutters
Exterior shutters that manage sun, privacy and protection while fitting the opening, facade and controls.
Let shade start with the building.
Orientation, exposure, drainage, wind, rain, mounting and controls all shape the final system. ARTMETA reviews these conditions early; engineering and applicable project requirements remain system- and site-specific.
Choose by use
Shading shutters and facility doors have different jobs.
Use this pathway for exterior shutters considered around solar control, privacy and opening protection. For vehicle access, loading openings or facility operation, explore Commercial & Industrial Doors. Product suitability and performance remain model- and project-specific.
Based in British Columbia. Site measurement, installation, commissioning and service are available within confirmed BC service areas. Supply and remote coordination for qualified projects elsewhere in North America are reviewed individually.

Decision guide
Pergola, awning or retractable screen?
Start with the real problem: overhead shade, rain management, side shading, privacy, wind exposure, mounting or outdoor-room structure.
