Applications and Advantages

The Sunwaves technology can be applied to several different systems and in several applications. Thus using the unique features of the foil slats and their properties. Below we show some examples for the use of the Sunwaves.

You can modify and adapt the Sunwaves technology to your system specifications and limits. The foils allow you to add variable sun shading functionality to your products as a value-added upgrade to your current system. This will deliver a unique product to your clients.

Sunwaves technology allows you to open and close slats in situations that to date were impossible to resolve without affecting the design of your current systems and products.

Applications

Sunwaves resist gravity and can therefore function in any position or orientation. For instance, they can be applied to skylights, rooflights and horizontally-placed windows.

Applying the Sunwaves to your system is easy with our semi-finished products. You will be able to assemble the Sunwaves foils and electronics easily and add them to your existing products

THERMAL properties of windows boosted
LIGHTWEIGHT and insensitive to gravity
SOUNDLESS with no motors or mechanical parts
NO MAINTENANCE because the movement comes from an inherent material characteristic
HYGIENIC due to the lack of mechanical parts requiring lubrication
LOW-POWER and LOW-ENERGY due to the light weight
SUSTAINABLE and DURABLE due to the lack of mechanical parts that suffer wear and tear
ADJUSTABLE with simple tools and skills
And many more

Example: skylight

The Sunwaves can be applied as an add-on accessory for normal, standard rooftop windows and skylights. We ourselves developed a frame with an additional windowpane on which the Sunwaves were placed. By assembling the Sunwaves frame to the existing frame within the normal space of the window pane, we were able to create a unique sunshade functionality with an appropriate design.
