The Sunshade Sheds Its Brackets

The Sunshade Sheds Its Brackets

Architectural sunshades typically hang off steel arms. BŌK Modern’s Simple Mount Sunshade attaches flat, without a single protruding bracket.

What’s left is the shade itself. Folded aluminum planes cantilever off the window head. Perforation patterns catch the sun and drop it again as speckled shadow. Nothing protrudes. Nothing interrupts the sightline.

The bracket is where the trouble usually starts: added steel, field measuring, waterproofing complications, scaffolding to work around. BŌK engineered those out. The attachment sits outside the window flange, so the waterproofing detail stays simple.

Aluminum keeps the assembly light and the maintenance minimal through long exterior exposure. BŌK’s patterns can be built directly into the shade, which turns exterior sun control into a graphic decision rather than a bolt-on.

It’s a natural fit for multifamily elevations and student housing blocks, where a hundred identical windows need something to break the rhythm.

BŌK has run this play before, applying the same logic to stair guardrails. Take a familiar building component. Delete the part everyone assumed was necessary.
