Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Skyvane system is designed for shading various types of glazing, including horizontal, inclined, and irregular shapes. It can be installed internally or externally, offering excellent light and solar control. External installations can exclude up to 90% of solar heat gain, reducing air conditioning costs.

Features & Benefits

Energy Savings: Reduces solar heat gain significantly, especially in glazed atria and south-facing facades, leading to lower air-conditioning loads and cost savings.
Flexibility: Can shade almost any glazing shape, including triangular, trapezoidal, and circular windows.
Low Maintenance: Constructed with robust materials and self-lubricating components for minimal maintenance.
Wide Choice of Options: Available in 50, 75, and 80mm slat widths with various finishes and colors.

System Construction
The system includes rackarms, a drive shaft, controls, and slats. Rackarms are made from extruded aluminum and are fixed to glazing bars. The drive shaft allows slats to tilt from fully open to closed. Control options include manual, motorized, and automated systems.

The system is extremely versatile and can be installed internally (in its 50, 75 and 80mm versions) or externally (75 and 80mm only). As a result, Skyvane not only gives extremely good light control, often in situations where no alternative can be used, but also solar control when installed externally. In such situations, up to 90% of solar heat gain can be excluded from the building, allowing substantial savings in air conditioning costs - both initial capital costs and...
