General Questions

What is the difference between Skybox Series and old traditional systems?

Skybox products arised from the integration of high reflective materials with traditional daylighting systems. Traditional systems are developed technologically and the designs are re-interpreted. The potential of transmitting and transferring daylight have increased with high reflection parameters and the system have became convenient for usage on exterior surface with special insulation details.

What is the characteristics of the reflective material used in Skybox models?

The reflective material; used to increase the transferring performance of the SkyBox products, has a reflection parameter of 98%. The higher the reflectivity, the transfer of light is more efficient and consistent. High light transfer coefficient; limits the light loss and therefore whatever the season and weather, light performance of the product is consistent and reliable.

Can Skybox products be produced in different dimensions?

Every SkyBox product is produced in special dimensions based on the requirements of the project.

How is the project phase of the Skybox products?

It is recommended to include Skybox products during the project phase of a building. In order to determine the dimensions of SkyBox Ground, it must be included before the construction phase; SkyBox Orients can be used during the project and construction phase and SkyBox Shelf can be used in every phase of the project.

 

SkyBOX Shelf

What is the working principle of SkyBox Shelf?

The upper surface of SkyBox Shelf is covered with a high reflective material. Especially intense sunlight coming from the south facade; hits on the reflective surface of the Skybox Shelf and reflected to the ceiling. The sunlight is distributed to the depths of the room and create a homogeneous lighting. Thus; the intense and disturbing sunlight, gathered in front of the window; can be used efficiently to enlighten the entire room.

How is SkyBox Shelf different from traditional lightshelves?

Traditional lightshelves generally have a flat surface; and can reflect sunrays in narrow angles. Thus a specific area of the room can be enlightened and homogeneous lighting can’t be achieved. SkyBox Shelf has a curvilinear surface which reflects sunlight in different and wide angles. Deeper sides of the room can be lightened and the differences in the interior lighting levels can be minimized.

Does SkyBox Shelf affect sight and field of view?

Skybox Shelf; is installed in front of the windows, above the eye level. Thanks to its thickness reduced to minimum, SkyBox Shelf provides an aesthetic appearance doesn’t affect sightview. Also it is capable of lifting and removing, so that it can be used whenever needed.

Is SkyBox Shelf appropriate for each size and type of window?

SkyBox Shelf is recommended for high and double-paned windows. It is mounted under the upper part of the window. It can be produced in any sizes.

Is Skybox Shelf fixed once installed or can be uninstalled?

SkyBox Shelf has moving features thanks to its special details. It is capable of lifting and removing, so that it can be used whenever needed and it is easily cleaned.

 

SkyBOX Ground

What is the difference between the performance of Skybox Ground and traditional concrete areaway?

A standard areaway; receives the daylight like a concrete tunnel; that doesn't have a perfect performance transmitting the light. Some amount of sunlight hit to the concrete surface is lost. The inner surface of the SkyBox G model is covered with a reflecting material. The sunlight is reflected inside the building throughout the reflective areaway. The reflective surfaces are located in specific angles to transfer daylight to interiors with maximum performance. SkyBox Groung has a lightening performance 20 times more than a standart areaway.

How does Skybox Ground solve insulation problems?

Skybox G model has an outer frame made of stainless metal, which includes notches that provide removing the rain and snow water out. Also a special dropper detail exists in order to isolate the rain and snow water.

How is the resistance of Skybox Ground’s outer surface to weight and impact?

Skybox Ground’s outer surface is made of stainless steel and double tempered glass. Thus, it is resistant to human and vehicle load.

Does SkyBox Ground have ventilation property?

Skybox Ground’s outer frame includes ventilation openings that supply clean air to the place. SkyBox G model has an alternative option of openable outer frame which is recommended for areas that need intense ventilation. In this model; the outer frame has an opening mechanism up to secure angles which provide a better ventilation.

Can Skybox Ground be produced in different dimensions?

SkyBox Ground is produced in special dimensions based on the requirements of the project. For determining the dimensions of the Skybox Ground; the size of the concrete airflue is important.

In what way the cleaning of Skybox Ground is provided?

You can clean SkyBoX Ground with a soft swab that will not damage the reflective material, from inside by opening the interior window . You can also clean the outer frame from both inside and outside like a standard window. The risk of impurities entering the system is very low so that regular cleaning is not needed. You can get support from us; when maintenance is needed related to loss of performance.

Does Skybox Ground create security problems?

Skybox Ground is a closed system with double tempered glass exterior surface which is resistant to impacts. The openable ventilation alternative can be opened up to secure angles and prevents entrance. Also the system; reflects the outer view to interiors and can provide security measures.

 

SkyBOX Orient

Can Skybox Orient produced in different dimensions?

Skybox Orient is produced special for the project and can be produced in desired dimensions, forms and colors.

Is Skybox Orient convenient for outer facades?

An insulation material of 10-20cm is used inside of the SkyBox O model. On the outer surface, transparent acrylic or glass panel is used in order to provide control over rain and snow water, and reduce the heat effect of the sun. By this issue; SkyBox O is suitable for climate control both in summer and winter.

For which applications SkyBox Orient is recommended?

SkyBox Orient can be an elegant alternative to typical window and glass brick wall applications.
