Kris Lin Sunshade Curtain Architecture

Horizon Shade

Horizon Shade is a motorized sunshade system designed for large architectural facades. The system uses a seamless single panel that spans up to 20 meters, serving villa terraces and commercial openings. Precision extruded aluminum profiles, high strength coil tubes, and zipper guided side rails resist bending and keep the fabric stable across the full span. An automatic balancing mechanism regulates tension and prevents distortion. Operation is possible by remote control, wall switch, or smart home system. Shading is treated as an extension of the facade.
