Pergolas, louvres, awnings, canopies and facade shading systems sourced to your drawings and wind loads, inspected and shipped by full container.
Shading systems sit between architecture and engineering: a motorized louvre roof or a facade fin has to meet the wind load of the site, match the facade finish and arrive with its motors, controls and fixings. FBM Sourcing manages the entire China procurement package for overseas construction projects, and for sunshades we take your shading drawings and specification, match them to factories that produce aluminum pergolas, louvres, awnings and canopies for export, coordinate shop drawings and structural details, arrange finish and fabric samples, inspect assembled units before shipment with our own FBM Sourcing QC team, and consolidate them with the rest of the project package by full container.
Recent shading scopes include awnings and poolside umbrellas for a Florida hotel, motorized louvered pergolas for a project in the United States, and pergolas within a five-star hotel package in the Caribbean. All quotations, invoices and shipping documents are issued by FBM Sourcing — you deal with us, and we carry the responsibility. For suppliers you nominate, we charge a 5% commission; for products we source for you, we quote a direct price.
Shading systems we source and coordinate for construction projects, engineered to your drawings and site wind loads.
From shading drawing to loaded container, one FBM Sourcing team coordinates the factory, the structural details, the inspection and the shipping.
Send your shading drawings, specification, site wind load and destination country. We confirm the system type, motorization requirements and a sourcing plan.
We shortlist shading and pergola factories with export records, compare systems and finishes against your drawings and budget, and arrange finish or fabric samples.
We coordinate shop drawings and structural details, follow production, and inspect assembled units — dimensions, finish, motor and control function, fixings and packing — before shipment.
Systems are broken down and crated with hardware and controls per unit, labelled by location, and consolidated with the rest of the project package. We always ship by full container.

Which standards apply depends on the destination country and the specification. FBM Sourcing confirms the required test reports with the factory before production and checks the documents during the pre-shipment inspection.
