Solarlux
has introduced a new, ultra-contemporary glass canopy - the SDL Acubis - to its impressive product portfolio.
Harmonising
with current architectural trends the bespoke, cubic glass structure can be
used for a wide variety of applications, from a workshop or studio, to
entertaining or outdoor living space.
The SDL
Acubis glass canopy can be enjoyed as a free-standing construction or
integrated into an existing house design. With a wide range of profiles to
choose from, the three or four-sided modular extension is both innovative and
practical.
The
glass canopy is constructed at two degrees and hardly visible to the naked eye,
allowing excess water to drain off effortlessly. In heavier rainfall areas the
discrete, concealed drainage installed in the pillars is a popular choice.
The
single glazed cutting-edge design is available in thicknesses of up to 12mm.
The optional extra of steel reinforcement on the vertical supports protects the
strength to size ratio. With a height of 253mm the single piece wall junction
enables the structure to be fitted seamlessly to any building.
The
supports can be set back from the eaves to provide the best structural use of
sections. Positioning of pillars is variable enabling you to connect the
vertical systems to the canopy. Made to measure pillar lengths and optional
height adjustment available.
A clever
way to lighten up the room is the use of spotlights integrated into the roof
beams. The cables are smartly concealed in a cable duct located in the wall
joint.
The
welcome addition of window awnings which are invisible when retracted, allowing
you to enjoy panoramic views and the vertical shades reduce heat transfer onto
the glass.
Joern
Greve, Managing Director, Solarlux comments: “Solarlux guarantees prompt
structural calculations. We achieve significantly reduced installation times as
the structure is pre-fabricated and partly pre-assembled at our plant. The
modular design means we can significantly reduce construction, site equipment
and labour costs.”
