VELUX Modular Rooflight: Integrated Roller Blinds for Heat, Daylight and Glare Control
Contents |
[edit] Introduction
The bespoke and prefabricated VELUX Modular Rooflights come with the option of integrated roller blinds which control heat and reduce glare, to ensure the right levels of daylight throughout the day. Single unit, row and rounded flat glass are design options, which provide architects with creative freedom, while also meeting building specifications with this made-to-measure product.
This new feature is part of a product offering focused on improving the well-being of building users.
The internal roller blind RMR is designed for installation with VELUX Modular Rooflights. The blind protects against heat and glare and helps to control the amount of light in the building. The roller blind is available in any height from 725 mm up to 3,000 mm and in width from 600 mm up to 1,000 mm. It can be oriented in the top-bottom or side-side direction of the rooflight.
The roller blind is available for Monolight and Linearlight both fixed and venting, including burglary-resistant modules. To support fast and safe installation of VELUX Modular Rooflights, it is possible to order roller blinds with hidden pre-wiring and completely pre-mounted from the factory, except for burglary-resistant modules. The blind consists of four wheels, one in each corner of the rooflight upstand and two steel wires at the side of the blind. The two wires pull a lightweight polyester fabric available in three commonly used colours.
[edit] Product details
VELUX roller blinds are electrically operated and can be controlled using either VELUX INTEGRA® or Open System ±24V (OS ±24 V DC).
Fabric colours
[edit] Colour simulation
Depending on the choice of roller blinds, the penetrating light will be affected together with the natural colouring of the interior. The blinds protect against heat and glare and help to control the amount of light in the room.
[edit] Glazing with sun protection coating
VELUX Modular Rooflights (Monolight and Linearlight) come with low energy double or triple glazing and one sun protection coating option. The coating is optimised to meet the desired levels of solar heat gain, sun protection, light transmittance and colour rendering.
