OKALUX: Insulating glass for daylight planning
The functional glass with special inserts in the space between the panes is used wherever the highest demands are placed on the lighting conditions in the interior.
OKALUX products are often used in architectural and construction projects to address various building performance and design requirements. These solutions can help reduce the need for artificial lighting, regulate indoor temperatures, and contribute to sustainable building practices. OKALUX’s expertise lies in the intersection of architecture and materials science, aiming to create glazing solutions that improve the overall comfort and functionality of buildings.
OKALUX offers a range of architectural glazing solutions designed to meet various daylighting, shading, and energy efficiency needs in building design. Some of the different types of OKALUX products include:
OKASOLAR:
OKASOLAR is a product line that combines insulating glass units (IGUs) with louvres inserted in a fixed order in the cavities. This directs the daylight selectively and glare-free deep into the interior of the building while protecting from direct irradiation and heat. These IGUs can help reduce the need for artificial lighting and contribute to energy efficiency. OKASOLAR daylight systems stand for a successful balance of sun protection and the use of daylight.
OKAWOOD:
OKAWOOD is a product designed to create a warm and natural wood appearance using glass. It combines the aesthetics of wood with the functionality of glass. A filigree timber grid in the cavity serves as direction-selective sun and glare-protection depending on the position of the sun and angle of irradiation.. OKAWOOD is often used in interior design and building facades to create a distinctive look.
OKATECH:
OKATECH is an insulating glass with inserts of expanded metal or wire mesh that also fulfills high requirements on sun and glare-protection while allowing views to the outside. It can also creatively be set in scene in interior decorating.
These are just some of the different types of OKALUX products available, and the company continues to innovate and develop new solutions to meet the evolving needs of the architectural and construction industry. The specific product you would choose depends on the requirements of your project and the goals you want to achieve in terms of daylighting, thermal performance, and aesthetics.
Benefits of using OKALUX
Using OKALUX architectural glazing solutions offers several benefits for building design and construction. Some of the key advantages of using OKALUX products include:
