Rack Arm Systems use fixed support arms which hold aluminium / timber interlocking or overlapping slats which tilt from 0° to 90° by way of manual, motorised or automation control. The tilting slats provide the optimal amount of daylight, minimising the need for artificial lighting and air-conditioner usage by maintaining effective airflow and reducing overall solar heat gain.
Rack Arm Systems’ implementation can reduce solar heat gain and manage the use of daylight, contributing to higher comfort levels and productivity levels. Energy consumption is reduced with less artificial light required and less air conditioning usage. The innate aluminium properties of the slats will reduce glazing specifications, avoid tinting, and lower construction costs while the high quality slat, component material and coating provide durability.
Installed Louvres provide:
- Versatile external systems fit a range of glazing inclinations, shapes and sizes.
- Choice of slat colours and finishes increase scope for architectural design choices.
- Glare from the sun is controlled, reducing eye irritation and improving computer screen visibility.
- Increases comfort levels for building occupants.
- Decrease in air conditioning usage and overall energy consumption and costs.
- Larger slat sizes allow more natural light to infiltrate through the glazing.
- Integration with various control options
