Kapilux

Capillary Daylighting

KAPILUX insulating glass with capillary insert diffuses daylight deeply into the room and offers very good sun and glare-protection. The heat insulation is excellent and the transmission value of the glass is individually adjustable to the requirements of your building project.

Compared to the capillary System OKALUX, the system KAPILUX is larger and visible which allows for partial transparency and gives KAPILUX solutions an especially modern, lively appearance.

The tubes in the capillary system of the product variant KAPILUX T are transparent. In KAPILUX W and KAPILUX WS they are colored white. KAPILUX WS with its capillary axis inserted diagonally to the glass was developed especially for overhead glazing.

KAPILUX is perfect for the use in museums, sports halls, administration, commercial and industrial buildings.

Kapilux T

Capillary System with Transparent Capillary Slabs

KAPILUX T light-diffusing insulating glass offers numerous advantages: The transparent capillary slabs in the cavity allow for an even and shadow-free illumination with daylight deep into the room. The sun and glare-protection are very good, and the heat insulation is improved by the capillary tubes. The transmission values can be individually adjusted to the requirements.

Characteristic for KAPILUX T is that the structure of the transparent capillary tubes is visible from both sides. The capillary inserts allow the product to meet high requirements on light transmission and sun protection. The build-up also allows for partial transparency creating the illusion of depth and a lively appearance.

Kapilux W

Capillary System with White Capillary Slabs

KAPILUX W light-diffusing insulating glass offer numerous advantages: The transparent capillary slabs in the cavity allow for an even and shadow-free illumination with daylight deep into the room. The sun and glare-protection are very good, and the heat insulation is improved by the capillary tubes. The transmission values can be individually adjusted to the requirements.

What makes it different from KAPILUX T with transparent capillaries is that these are colored white in KAPILUX W, thus satisfying increased requirements on sun and glare-protection.

Kapilux WS

Capillary System for Roof Glazing

KAPILUX WS light-diffusing insulating glass offers numerous advantages: The transparent capillary slabs in the cavity allow for an even and shadow-free illumination with daylight deep into the room. The sun and glare-protection are very good, and the heat insulation is improved by the capillary tubes. The transmission values can be individually adjusted to the requirements.

KAPILUX WS was developed especially for roof glazing. The capillary axis inserted diagonally to the glass prevents the sun from entering the room when mounted accordingly. In combination with the white coloring of the capillaries, high requirements on sun and glare-protection can be met.
