Light up your life.

Some like it hot …

Take tropical plants,for example.

That’s why they thrive in hotand hum

idgreenhouses.People,on the other hand,prefer a less extrem

e climate atw

ork –unless,of course,they are used to the tropics.

Why do offices turn into greenhouses

when the sun shines?

The radiantenergy which penetrates

window

glass is converted to long wave

(heat) radiation when itcom

es into con-tactw

ith objects.This so called “remote

infrared”energy is then no longer able topenetrate glass,i.e.to escape.The energyrem

ains in the room,increasing the

ambienttem

perature.

... others prefer Siteco.W

hen sunlightstrikes high quality reflec-tors m

ade from the purestalum

inium,

only a small portion of the shortw

averadiation is converted to long w

ave radia-tion.The lion’s share of radiantenergycan exitthe room

.

Conventional insulated glass has an overall transm

ission value (g) of 72 %.

Our prism

and louver systems coated

with purestalum

inium have a transm

is-sion value of less than 20 %

.

In addition,prisms and louvers directthe

sun’s rays into a room via the ceiling,pro-

viding optimal lighting and m

aintaininga pleasantindoor clim

ate withoutim

-pairing the view

Orchestrated light ...

... is our term for design-

ing light with the goal of

optimising functionality,

aesthetics and emotional

well-being. An im

portantinstrum

anagement

of both natural and arti-ficial light sources. SitecoDaylight System

A few details ...

Siteco prism panels are

injection molded from

8N acrylic glass (m

flanks are coated with

an extremely thin layer

of purest aluminium

(AL 99.99). As is the case w

STATIC PRISM SYSTEM

S

Only the best light is good enough

Our m

icro sun shielding louvers are inte-grated betw

een double glazing panes,justlike our static sun shielding prism

s.The only difference is the w

ay they work:

with our sun protection louvers,the sun’s

rays strike vertical and horizontal lamel-

lae,which are coated w

ith vaporised topgrade alum

inium.

The louver is closed to reflectdirectsun-lightw

hen facing south.Diffuse lightpasses through the north facing louver,supplying the room

with pleasant,ergo-

nomic light.

Like the aforementioned stationary sun

protection prism system

s,our micro sun

shielding louvers were developed espe-

cially for installation in slightly slopedglass roofing.

Exemplary: Presentation hall,

DaimlerChrysler AG, Sindelfingen.*

Notonly inner beauty is im

CombiSol is an enhancem

quality sun protection with reliable glare

protection.

CombiSol reduces the solar heatgain to

a minim

biSol com-

pletely eliminates glare from

Nothing but blue skies.

We developed Com

biSol especially forglass roofs and sloped glazing installed in buildings w

ith demanding air and

illumination requirem

ents.

Like all other stationary daylightsystems

from Siteco,Com

biSol is mounted inside

a double glazing pane.

CombiSol is therefore:

•easy to install,

•protected from

moisture and im

puri-ties,

•com

pletely maintenance free.

Although CombiSol com

pletely filters outdirectsunlight,the louvers still perm

itanoutdoor view

.People in the room can see

the blue sky and passing clouds,and canenjoy the changes in w

eather and lightconditions in a com

fortable environment.

With Com

biSol,the sky’s the limit.

Effective honeycombs.

CombiSol’s sun and glare protection lou-

ver system is double layered.In the up-

per layer,the honeycomb shape form

is coated with pure alum

The second layer directs the lightto de-fined areas,thereby reducing glare anddistributing diffuse lightevenly through-outthe room

An allrounder.Com

biSol offers the following advan-

Fundamentals.

Stationary DaylightSystems are alw

aysm

ounted in between double glazing lay-

ers to protectthem from

the elements.

These glass layers are fabricated justlikeconventional double glazing panes.

For the construction of glass roofs andthe installation of these elem

ents,thelatestversions of the glazing guidelinesissued by St.Gobain Germ

any and speci-fic technical guidelines on glazing pub-lished by the Deutsches InstitutfürBautechnik (DIBT) have to be follow

ed.

The insulated glass panes mustbear all

interior and exterior loads and fulfill allconstruction requirem

ents.

To guarantee the load-bearing capabilityof the glazing elem

ents,external staticloads m

ustbe calculated according toDIN

1055 standards.If local building authorities publish their ow

n standards,then these should be used.

To preventthermal cullets,heataccum

u-lation and tem

perature variance within

the multi layered pane m

ustbe avoided.

Inclined glazing.Stationary DaylightSystem

s are generallyinstalled in roofs.Since inclined glazing issubjectto greater therm

al stress,theexterior pane is fabricated from

heat-tem

pered glass,and the interior pane ism

ade of laminated safety glass.

A pitch of less than 10 degrees is notrecom

mended,since w

ater runoff must

be ensured.This applies to both the glasselem

entand the frame construction.

When installing such a system

,specialattention should be paid to am

bientinfluences,e.g.excessive am

ounts ofim

purities,falling leaves,etc.Constantexposure to m

oisture can cause material

fatigue in the pane’s surface.

Mounting area.

The mounting area of the panes should

notexceed DIN 18545 guidelines,to pre-

ventvariations in temperature betw

eenthe perim

eter and the restof the pane.

In roof glazing,glass retaining stripsshould alw

ays be mounted on the exteri-

or,since interior mounted strips form

thedrip edge in a sloped elem

ent,making

sealing nearly impossible.

The drip edge and the sealing layer must

be separated from one another,and the

drip edge should be below the sealing

layer.The exterior glass retaining stripsm

usthold the glass securely to withstand

suction effects.

Perimeter seal.

Standard sealants for multi layered

double glazing mustnotbe exposed to

directsunlight,because ultravioletradia-tion w

ill damage them

.The perimeter

sealing can be protected by cover plates,strips,silicone tape or a UV-shielding film

.

We recom

mend the use of specially fabri-

cated silicone perimeter sealants,w

hichprovide sufficientprotection even w

henexposed to directirradiation.They are,how

ever,gas-permeable and therefore

unsuited for use in gas filled glazing elem

ents.

Beading space.M

etal contacts in the beading space (e.g.studs,angle brackets,etc.),as w

ell as contactbetw
