Translucent thermal insulation for profiled glass
Perfect interaction of thermal insulation, sun protection, light diffusion und pleasant indoor climate
Thermolight® is specially designed for use in façades made of U-profiled glass. The translucent thermal insulation made of glass fibres combines light transmission with excellent thermal insulation and outstanding solar protection of the façade (U-value) and enables glare-free use of daylight.
The Thermolight®100 insulation inserts consist of very thin, spun glass fibers, which are coated with a light-stable binding agent and interwoven to form a very light and translucent glass fiber mat. The enclosed, „standing“ air cushion provides a very good heat insulation. The woven glass fibers provide perfect light scattering and room illumination without harsh shadows. Direct solar radiation and accompanying glare effects are prevented.
Translucent insulation material is used in high-quality, award-winning projects by famous architects all over the world, where large facade surfaces made of profiled glass with high demands on thermal insulation and sun- and glare protection have been constructed. For example, renowned architects such as Steven Holl and Ian Ritchie rely on the combination of profiled glass and translucent insulation material. TIM is used in museums, theatres, shopping centres, sports stadiums, corporate and office buildings, gymnasiums, clinics and industrial buildings.
