Okasolar

Glazing with Integral Daylight Control

OKASOLAR daylight systems stand for a successful balance of sun protection and the use of daylight. Louvres inserted in a fixed order in the cavities direct the daylight selectively and glare-free deep into the interior of the building while protecting from direct irradiation and heat input. The systems are thus able meet the technical requirements on the building shell and optimize the energy balance of the building.

The OKASOLAR W and OKASOLAR F daylight systems have been designed expressly for the facade and can be carried out as both double- and triple-pane glazing build-ups. OKASOLAR F is especially suited for narrow pane build-ups and enables a selective adaptation to the requirements of the interior with its combination of the louvre types OKASOLAR F O and F U.

The louvre system OKASOLAR S was developed especially for overhead glazing and can be carried out as double- and triple-pane build-ups. OKASOLAR 3D is an advanced version of OKASOLAR S and will be available soon.

OKASOLAR F

Optimized Daylight System for the Façade

OKASOLAR F is a daylight system optimized for facades and unites the use of daylight with effective sun protection. The louvre type OKASOLAR F U reflects a large part of the solar irradiation to the outside. OKASOLAR F O is also retro-reflective and directs the incidental daylight deeply into the room. By combining both louvre types in one element, the requirements of the interior can be dealt with specifically.

OKASOLAR F can significantly lower the cost for artificial illumination and cooling loads and optimize the energy balance of a building. Due to the extremely narrow profile cross-section of the louvres, OKASOLAR F is especially well-suited for triple-insulating glazing and narrow pane build-ups.

double glazing build-up – Typs F O and F U combined – Transparency

  • Maximum dimensions: 3,000 mm x 4,000 mm, larger sizes available upon request
  • Maximum dimensions: 7 m2
  • Partial transparency: 57 %
  • Louvre distance: 9.5 mm
  • All technical values, such as light transmission, TSET and Ug-values can be adjusted matching requirements by varying other constructions and glass types.

OKASOLAR P

Glazing with Direction-sensitive Privacy Screening

OKASOLAR P is an insulating glass with fixed; vertical louvres in the cavity between the glass panes.

OKASOLAR P enables partial transparency in one direction at the same time as privacy screening adapted to individual requirements in the other direction, and has been optimised for use in the building façade.

BenefitBuild-upTechnical DataDownloads

Thanks to its three-dimensional geometry, OKASOLAR P offers:

  • Direction-sensitive privacy screening
  • Partial trough-vision
  • High daylight levels
  • Can be easily recycled
  • Visibility for birds

The special feature of OKASOLAR P is that the louvres for privacy screening are integrated in the cavity between the glass and therefore pose no special requirements concerning the installation, maintenance and cleaning. In fact, the OKASOLAR element can be treated like conventional insulating glass. The glass thickness and type are based on the structural needs and constructional requirements.

  • Inner pane made of thermally treated glass, heat-reflective layer #3
  • Cavity 2: 8 to 12 mm with gas filling
  • Inner pane made of thermally treated glass, heat-reflective layer #5
  • Glass dimension parallel to Louvre axis max. 3,000 mm
  • Glass dimension perpendicular to louvre axis max. 3,000 mm
  • Louvre length: max. 3,000 mm
  • The maximum area is 7 m². Special shapes are possible.

Okasolar S

Outstanding Sun Protection for Roof Glazing

OKASOLAR S is a daylight system especially developed for overhead glazing and unites effective direction-selective sun protection with the use of daylight. The shading system integrated in the cavity creates a comfortable atmosphere in the interior: Along with good transparency it guarantees an even and glare-free illumination with daylight at any time of day or season. Moreover, OKASOLAR S reduces the cooling load and costs for artificial illumination and optimizes the energy balance of a building.

OKASOLAR W

Outstanding Daylight System for the Façade

OKASOLAR W is a high-performance daylight system especially developed for the facade which combines the use of daylight with effective sun protection. Fixed louvres in the cavities direct daylight deeply into the room while ensuring excellent direction-selective sun and glare-protection. A further advantage of OKASOLAR W: the cooling loads and costs for artificial illumination can be significantly reduced and the energy balance of a building optimized.
