WPC sunshades are solar screening systems made from a composite material that combines wood fibers and polymers. They provide protection from sunlight, increased privacy, and an elegant design for facades, terraces, and outdoor spaces. Compared to wood or metal sunshades, WPC offers higher resistance to weathering, requires less maintenance, and does not deteriorate over time.
Applications and profiles for sunshades and window shading
An ideal solution for shading and cladding
The sunshade and louvers profiles of the Infinity line are an architectural detail that can be integrated in different contexts. They can be used as a facade cladding, or as a shield, contributing to the improvement of living comfort.
They can also be created sliding panels and complex systems, which allow to rationalize the passage of light and air by offering a modern design.
The profiles of the Infinity NOVOWOOD series are available in different sections, which can be installed on both sides thanks to special internal aluminium alloy reinforcements. Positioned horizontally or vertically, they integrate perfectly with the facades on which they are installed, giving a contemporary appeal to the building.

Yes, Novowood WPC sunshades are designed to withstand weather conditions. They do not absorb water, do not deform due to humidity, and remain stable even in strong winds. They are also treated with UV protection to prevent color fading over time, ensuring long-lasting durability without the need for extraordinary maintenance.
- Compared to wood: WPC sunshades do not require painting or periodic treatments, do not splinter, and are more resistant to humidity.
- Compared to aluminum: WPC provides a more natural and warmer look, reduces overheating on hot days, and is more environmentally sustainable.
Absolutely. WPC solar screens reduce indoor overheating, decreasing the need for air conditioning during summer months. This leads to significant energy savings, improves living comfort, and reduces environmental impact.
Yes, WPC sunshades are available in various colors and finishes to suit different architectural styles. The slat dimensions can be customized according to project requirements, allowing for tailor-made solutions for both residential and commercial buildings.
Yes, WPC is an eco-friendly material made from recycled wood fibers and regenerated polymers. At the end of its life, it can be recycled again, making it more environmentally friendly than traditional materials such as solid wood or PVC.
WPC sunshades have an average lifespan of over 20 years without requiring extraordinary maintenance. Unlike wood, they do not rot, do not develop mold, and do not require annual treatments with oils or protective paints.
Yes, WPC is an excellent solution for commercial buildings, hotels, resorts, restaurants, and offices. In addition to improving the thermal and visual comfort of indoor environments, they give facades and outdoor areas a modern and elegant look.
Yes, in the case of localized damage, individual slats can be replaced without removing the entire screening system. This makes WPC a practical and cost-effective long-term solution.
