What is it?
Sun Louvres
At Shade Smart, our Sun Louvres are a modern architectural shading system featuring vertical or horizontal louvres that allow precise control of sunlight and ventilation — sleek, durable and energy-efficient.
Every system is custom designed for your property and installed by our locally based team, who understand how Queenstown's alpine conditions — hot dry summers, snow, frost and strong winds — affect outdoor spaces.

Precise sun control
Vertical or horizontal blades reduce heat gain and glare through large glazing.
02
Architectural statement
A striking facade element for contemporary homes and commercial buildings.
03
