Anti-Glare Roller Blinds For Air Traffic Control Towers

Imagine your ATCT goes down to “reduced visibility” status. Imagine the reduced landing fees due to “reduced visibility” status. Reflex-Rol ‘Aviation’ shading systems can keep your tower functioning even with low angles of Sun

An ATCT (Air traffic Control Tower) or VCR (Visual Control Room) faces many different environmentally challenging conditions. Of these high on the priority list is VISIBILITY!

In order to afford controllers maximum visibility towers are 360 ÌŠ glass. Not unlike a greenhouse, with all of the glare, dazzle and solar heat gain associated problems. Until only a few years ago, shading in ATCT’s was attempted with standard ‘off-the-shelf’ vertical roller blind units adapted with varying degrees of success. Even black-out shades have been used and indeed are still in use in more towers than is safe.

Reflex-Rol, with over a quarter of a century experience in solar, optical and thermal filter technology, have developed the bespoke and acclaimed ‘Aviation’ shading system specifically for vision assistance from and within Air Traffic Control Towers. Supplying optimum levels of external ‘outside’ vision, whilst removing reflections and glare ‘inside’.
