Sleek and Retractable Sails Come to U.S.!



Sun Square System

Sleek and Retractable Sails Come to U.S.!

(Miami, FL). SunSquare Systems retractable sails will be sold in the U.S. by ShadeFla, a local architectural shade company. The sail, a patented system, is a one of a kind system that contains an anemometer (wind sensor) that will automatically retract the sail when winds exceed 30 MPH. A spring mechanism pre-tensions the sail allowing the sail to flex in gusty winds. This product geared for commercial and high end residential, will provide rain and sun protection and allow you to look at the stars at night if you wish!

The product, designed by architect Gerald Wurz, is sleek and modern with stainless steel columns and fittings. The product has over 100 of different components all designed by Wurz and Engineer, Kautzky including spot lights attached to cantilevered arms for indirect illumination of the sails.

The sails extend up to 30 feet and can be cut in a variety of triangular shapes as well as combined for larger spaces. Sun Square uses Sattler fabrics, offering sun protection with the Sattler Solis netting and sun and water protection with the Sattler 321 fabric. The fabric comes in a variety of colors and logos can be printed on the sails. There are also a dozen different shaped column and attachment points allowing each structure to be unique.

There are over 4,000 installations in Austria, France, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Greece and other countries.

The first U.S. installations will take place this summer on Miami Beach.
