Managing direct sunlight that strikes buildings is a major design problem. However, once this problem is solved, it makes buildings more usable and energy efficient. Current shading and lightshelf devices inadequately solve this dilemma. Most shading devices are either too massive or cannot be seasonally adjusted. Lightshelves are only marginally effective in the summer and winter months. Verdelight light wing shades solve all of these problems.

The founder of Verdelight was inspired to solve this building problem because of a passion for sustainability and love for airplanes. With his background as a US Navy pilot, industrial and business manager, and a visual artist, a revolutionary wing like shade was created.

The Verdelight system offers the first effective, adjustable lightshade that is light weight and unbreakable.

Wind and snow loads are not an issue with the patented spring positioning design, which allows a response to these forces, yet is able to automatically return to the original position.

A desire to utilize the sun’s light, unique engineering, and an appreciation for the artist component of the architectural process is what helped evolve this superior solution to managing direct sunlight on buildings.
