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 significantly. The system is suitable for a range of applications, including museums and art galleries, where precise light control is essential.

Features & Benefits
  • Energy Savings: Reduces solar heat gain, 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 Range
  • Levolux Skyvane 650 Internal: 50mm slats available in various colors, also in timber.
  • Levolux Skyvane 675 Internal: Features interlocking louvres for high dim-out, suitable for museums and galleries.
  • Levolux Skyvane 675x External: Offers increased solar gain control.
  • Levolux Skyvane 680 Internal: 80mm slats with increased rigidity.
  • Levolux Skyvane 680x External: Provides solar protection from heat and glare.

Design Parameters
Specifications include maximum slat and rackarm lengths, distances between rackarms, and support spacing. The system has been wind tunnel tested for durability.

Specification
The system is a fully adjustable, non-retractable louvre system available in various configurations and colors. It can be manually or electrically operated and is suitable for different glazed areas.

Rackarm systems-2

Introduction The Skyvane system has been designed to shade horizontal, inclined and irregular shaped glazing. 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 on-going running...
