Skylights and glazed ceilings can offer a great source of natural light, but can also come with the issue of glare and significant heat gain. Heat gain and loss through overhead glazing is many times greater than conventional windows making solar protection an essential addition. Shade Factor’s range of internal sun protection for overhead glazing keeps out the harmful sun and prevents heat loss in colder seasons. Shade Factor offers two systems to combat this.
The systems are available in a variety of finishes for blinds and cassettes, including natural anodized, or powder-coated in a specified color. High-quality fabric options include both full block out or sun filtering fabrics.
Features
- Surface mounting in filigree cassette enclosure or recess mount in the designed cavity
- Constant tensioning system to keep the fabric taught and prevent operating problems common with skylight blinds
