Glass roofs have become an integral part of energy-efficient buildings

Translucent roofing systems combine good technical parameters, elegant look and intelligent solutions. Therefore, not far off the day when the glass roof will be an integral part of energy-efficient buildings.Attractive design, architectural charm, plenty of natural light, excellent thermal insulation - a terrific advantage of translucent structures. Due to the versatility of their application can create original facades and roofs, to realize almost any design. Modern architectural glass allows you to increase the energy efficiency of buildings and meet stringent specifications.

"Effective energy efficiency" is currently an important topic in modern construction. Maximum daylight via translucent systems becomes an integral part of buildings designed to improve energy efficiency. Glass roofs are increasingly used in commercial buildings, shopping malls and office buildings, industrial and sports facilities, as well as housing construction. Emphasis is placed on all of the elements from glass structures, aluminum profiles, to different ways of intelligent systems management roof glazing.

The presence of the required dose of sunlight entering the room, has a significant impact on health, people residing in it. Proper glazing provides better visibility of objects outside and less energy consumption. About how much daylight penetrates into the interior of the building is determined primarily by carefully selected glazing system that provides the right balance between factors such as transparency, dispersion of light flux, as well as protection from the sun, heat, cold and noise.

Perfectly matched to the building structure roof glazing system is also designed to save energy. Full access to the premises of natural light and good resistance to heat transfer coefficient of glazing minimize the energy loss due to lighting and heating.

Architectural Glass allows you to perform almost any building construction, and the "flexibility" of aluminum is able to meet the individual needs and requirements. Modern aluminum profile allows you to create any form of roof constructions. Elegant and slim aluminum profile provides light weight and very good thermal insulation glass roofs. Optimization isotherms minimizes the risk of condensation on the inner side of the structure.

Low front section width can increase the surface of glass that contributes to a better coverage of the interior. Wherever it is desirable to maximize transparency, you can use the version with smooth silicone groove, creating the impression of almost solid glass.

Integrated into the glass roof structure movable flaps are designed to provide a constant supply of fresh air or natural ventilation. Components of glass structures that are essential for ventilation, not only affect air quality, but also greatly contributes to minimizing the costs associated with the use of air conditioning. The glass roof can be optionally equipped with mechatronic systems accessories, radio-controlled or programmed to automatically open and close. This allows the movable element roof structure independently respond to weather conditions, in the event of a fire, but also the process of ventilation in the cycles of day and night.

Glass roof constructions can be fitted with transoms (slanted flap), acting as a smoke-removing, representing an important element of fire protection systems. Control glazed roofs made electromotive or pneumatic cylinder with CO2. Depending on the position of transoms system must be equipped with a manual alarm or dymovyvodyaschimi central, adjusts the position of transoms.

Natural light and heat from the sun, especially in winter, have unlimited potential in terms of energy savings, which can be used through the glass structures. Glazed roof can significantly reduce the cost of electricity and heating. Through the use of appropriate systems shading and ventilation can be adjusted amount of light and heat.

Users can choose from a range of solutions to control the flow of sunlight into buildings, such as multi-functional glass refracts the sun's rays, screen printing, internal or external automated blinds. In addition, an interesting solution is the use of glass with varying levels of transparency, which will independently determine the level of transmission of solar heat inside. Selecting the appropriate glazing allow minimize the use of air conditioning in the summer, and in winter to reduce the load on the heaters.

Great influence on the comfort facilities also have an intelligent control devices, such as watches, solar sensors, temperature or light intensity detectors. All of these devices are designed to control the flow of sunlight and solar heat into the building in accordance with the individual needs of the user.

Most glass roofs can also be equipped with solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity. The amount of energy that can generate cell depends on the amount of sunlight that falls into this place. Self-cleaning glass and the growing efficiency of solar panels allow to expect that in the near future, glass roofs can also be a source of energy to compensate the needs of the building.
