The climate of UAE is categorized by various organizations from semiarid to hyperarid. According to Science Direct, there are different bioclimatic zones within the country. Such studies posit southern and western areas of the UAE to have high temperatures and low mean precipitation. However, there is no debate over the general climate of the UAE being featured with blistering sun.

This particular environment makes shading solutions a necessity in the UAE. Playgrounds, patios, and business meeting areas among other outdoor spaces demand the comfort of shading solutions. Structural fabrication companies in UAE addressing this requirement consistently try to innovate new designs that add to the functionality, durability, and aesthetics of sunshade solutions.

A sun shade that withstands harsh weather, gives enough UV protection, and accommodates space demands the ingenuity of a sun shade fabricator. Innovations into such dexterous designs are worth mentioning.

Sun Shade fabrication: Innovations in-store

Space-saving solutions: 

• The Problem: Sun shades usually require a mechanism to hold them in normal as well as harsh conditions. Sometimes poles that act as support structures interfere with the space utility under the shades. This is an inconvenience, especially for cramped spaces. In the case of places such as playgrounds, this may also meddle with visibility.
• The Solution: As a solution sun shade suppliers in UAE have introduced sunshade sails and cantilever shades. Sun shade sails that are available in various shapes demand respective fabrication solutions to ensure their stability. Qualified structural fabrication engineers use CAD solutions to arrive at measurements of sunshade sails that facilitate optimum stability. 

Cantilever sun shades with innovative structures are another solution that effectively utilizes space and enhances visibility. 

While ensuring visibility and stability structural fabricators have in no way compromised the aesthetic appeal of these sun shade solutions.

Integration of Sustainable Practices

• The Innovation: Sustainability is a word of this century. Structural fabrication companies in UAE also align with this principle with the integration of solar panels into sun shades. 

• Its Benefits:  It is a smart innovation looking at the double-edged benefits of a relaxing shade with solar panels attached to it. The energy produced can be channeled to the amenities of the sunshade itself. For example, a sunshade fitted with lights and charging ports can be powered using the energy generated by the solar panel. Thus the shades can serve as a functional unit providing gathering space through the night as well. 

Innovations in weatherproofing

Structural engineers nowadays consider all-weather solutions that offer waterproofing as well. The durability of sun shades also ensures that the structure stays intact in extreme weather conditions such as sand storms, and occasional rains. The peculiar weather of the UAE requires such innovations to ensure the longevity of these outdoor structures. 

As technology advances we tend to innovate solutions that enhance our convenience. The increasing consciousness of sustainable living is also reflected in those innovations. Structural fabrication companies are also aligning with such changes in times with innovative solutions. This industry seems to have a better vision for the future.
