The Importance of Natural Light, Ventilation and NSHE Natural light plays a key role in well-being and effectiveness at work. Transparent-coloured skydomes and light bands create intensive, but simultaneously homogenous lighting that has a pleasant effect on health and activity of the users in the room. Lighting the room with skydomes and light bands also reduces lighting costs and, compared to artificial light sources, simultaneously has a more positive effect on the health and activity of the people in the room. The Alux skylights are intended for: • illumination of rooms, • natural ventilation...

Skydomes by Type of Materials Used Skydomes made of cast acrylic sheets (cast PMMA of opal and transparent colour)top quality UV resistance Akripol skylights are mostly made of cast AKRIPOL Aglas acrylic sheets of various colours and thickness. The manufacturing process gives the cast acrylic certain properties that are the best among similar materials (e.g. the XT PMMA extruded acrylic glass). Acrylic is also a good alternative to other materials, for example, glass. Skydomes made of IRR (heat stop) acrylic glass - reduced solar gains or g-values With Alux Heatstop skylights, the room is illuminated...

Skydomes made of solid polycarbonate (solid PC) - resistant to hail Hail often damages buildings and materials or products installed on the buildings. This can result in huge costs of renovation and replacement of damaged elements. This is why we also use solid polycarbonate (solid PC) and implement it into our lighting systems and thus meet higher resistance criteria. Tested according to FM Approvals no. 4473 Results: • PMMA 4 mm: class 1 or suitable HW3 classification - Diameter of the ice pellet 32 mm - Pellet velocity (incoming speed): 28 m/s - Nominal incoming energy 10.4 J • Solid PC 3...

Special Skydome Variants - round SEGMENTED domes Non-standard skydome variants are the so-called segmented domes. These domes are suitable for larger round openings (up to size of approx. φ 1200 cm). To make such domes, a metal structure is prepared, onto which the acrylic elements are fastened - the segments. The segments can be double-layered, triple-layered or quadruple-layered. The segments can only be fixed. On the top the whole dome is connected by a smaller round dome that can be opened for ventilation. Segmented domes in the shape of a semi-circle Segmented dome with a transparent-blue...
