The well-known Solucent™ mesh shading system, pioneered by Cambridge Architectural, is at the forefront of this evolution. Solucent is now more comprehensive and versatile than ever, due to the research and development of a new version of the system featuring four pre-packaged products that together shade every side of a building.

Solucent, the "Whole Building Exterior Shading System" uses specifically-engineered applications, determined by a building facade's physical relation to the sun, to customize the amount of light entering any side of a structure. The result is a total shading package with four separate products, each positioned in a different manner to perform different shading needs for the benefit of the entire building.
