Application

Daylighting applications for larger areas such as airports, convention centres, hotels and leisure centres, warehouse & industrial, retail and military.

Description

SkyVault 740 mm diameter daylighting system for open ceiling applications where there is a requirement to enhance light capture, focus light over greater distances, or spread light evenly throughout a space.


Features and benefits:

  • 740 mm (29 inch) diameter pipe.
  • For open ceiling applications:
  • For daylighting applications for larger areas such as airports, convention centres, hotels and leisure centres, warehouse & industrial, retail and military.
  • The SkyVault Series has been designed for easy operation and long life. Sealed, pre-assembled top and bottom assemblies, self-cleaning domes and UV/ IR filtering ensure high-quality, high-performance daylight delivery with zero maintenance required. 
  • Advanced optics: Selectively delivers the visible spectrum of light while filtering out damaging infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths. This reduces daytime cooling loads, prevents interior damage, and minimizes glare and shifting light patterns. 
  • Colour consistency: Ensures that the colour of transferred daylight remains white, offering stable colour rendition of the visible light spectrum throughout the year. 
  • Thermal efficiency: Comes with built-in temperature control features. A pre-assembled insulated (R6) and sealed curb cap, Spectralight Infinity material, and the optional dual dome all combine to minimize heat gain/loss and optimize thermal efficiency.

Guidance for specification option:

Spectralight® Infinity Tubing:

  • Delivers 99.7% reflectivity for maximum daylight transfer.
  • Provides the purest rendition possible so colours are truer and brighter 
  • Allows for lengthy tube runs and 90 degree turns to deliver daylight to lower floors.

Cool Tube Technology:

  • Proprietary material used in SkyVault Series reflectors and tubing that: 
  • Filters out infrared wavelengths to minimise solar heat gain.
  • Prevents heat from entering the building.
  • Improves thermal efficiency.
