Three sun shading systems, three different jobs. Here's how to tell which one fits your space.
Hoodi — for windows and doorways
Hoodi is a canopy that sits directly over a window or door opening, with optional side fins for angled sun. It's the right choice when the problem is a specific opening — a west-facing window that bakes in the afternoon, or a front door with no cover from summer rain. Configurable with a top panel alone, or top plus one or two side fins depending on which direction the sun comes from.
Penumbra — for filtered light along a wall
Penumbra is a set of vertical fins, mounted to run along a wall or facade rather than over a single opening. It's the better fit when you need to cut glare or heat gain across a whole elevation — a run of windows, a glass wall, or a facade that gets hit by low afternoon sun — without blocking the view or light entirely.
Lofti — for custom-sized openings
Lofti is modular, built up from individual panels sized to your exact opening. Use it when neither Hoodi nor Penumbra fits the space — an unusually large or oddly proportioned window, a pergola infill, or anywhere you need a shading system built to a specific dimension rather than a standard size.
Quick way to decide
- Single window or door → Hoodi
- Long wall or multiple windows → Penumbra
- Non-standard or oversized opening → Lofti
