REFLEX-ROL FIXED SOLAR AND GLARE CONTROL PANELS

In situations where full roller systems are not economical or practical, semi-fixed panels, making use of the same high capacity reflector foil can be installed. These panels can be easily removed for window cleaning and other maintenance purposes.

CONTROL METHODS AND SHADING MATERIALS

Systems can be operated manually, electro-mechanically or electronically offering a top-to-bottom or a bottom-to-top drop. Depending on the sizes of the shades, 24VDC motors, 110VAC or 230VAC motors will be deployed.

Reflex-Rol produces a range of shading materials, the AR760 being the airport and control tower standard. Other materials are also available for more standard office type installations, whether a normal vertical window, inclined or horizontal skylight. The Aviation system can also be deployed in many other non-standard-shape windows.

ON SITE CONSULTATION

Before contracts are signed, we offer on-site consultation with the customer. Demonstration samples will be provided in order for the customer to come to a well-balanced decision. Our engineers can be deployed worldwide but as part of the programme we offer training to on-site personnel.

Glare and dazzle in the tower can be disastrous, it is therefore of paramount importance for the correct daylight-filter to be chosen. Reflex-Rol will visit your airport and advise accordingly.

There are many variables to be taken into account before specific calculations can be made, values determined and recommendations made. These include:

  • Longitude and latitude of building
  • Specific location regarding adjacent buildings and countryside
  • Each facade in relation to the sun's path
  • Height from the ground
  • Building design
  • Technical properties of glazed unit such as glass type, cavity size and cavity content

Solar glare control products

We manufacture two groups of solar glare control products: the Reflex-Rol series and the First-Rol series.

In situations where full roller systems are not economical or practical, semi-fixed panels, making use of the same high capacity reflector foil can be installed. These panels can be easily removed for window cleaning and other maintenance purposes.

Products in each group have an individual application profile and technical specification. Reflex-Rol and First-Rol can be manufactured and shaped to fit any square, rectangular, trapezoidal or triangular window design and can be installed in a vertical, inclined or horizontal position. Some product examples include:
