Sunlight Series
• Frame: Aluminum 6063 T5, 2.0 mm thickness, tensile strength ≥160 MPa; PVDF / powder coated / anodized finish options for corrosion resistance.
• Seals: EPDM between panel and frame reduces cold bridge risk and condensation; temperature range –40 °C to +120 °C, UV aging resistant, >10 year service life.
• Base: Square tubular cavity bottom frame for added wind pressure resistance and thermal performance.
Product Overview
Sunlight combines natural smoke ventilation, daily ventilation, and daylighting in one roof unit. A high strength resin panel (more than three times the strength of tempered glass) maintains stable properties from –40 °C to +120 °C, with UV resistant coating for long term durability. The 6063 T5 aluminum frame (2.0 mm) with EPDM sealing and a structural, concealed gutter design delivers robust weather protection and clean detailing. Available in tapered or arched profiles to shed rain and snow efficiently.
Key Benefits
• Three functions, one device — Daylighting + natural ventilation + automatic smoke venting, designed for EN 12101 2 strategies.• Resilient glazing — High strength resin panel, UV coated, corrosion resistant; stable from –40 °C to +120 °C and >3× tempered glass strength (lightweight for easier handling).
• Clean enclosure detailing — Concealed internal gutter (structural waterproofing), concealed hinges, and screw free exterior for a minimalist look. Quick release panel simplifies maintenance.
• Roof profile options — Tapered and arched forms to prevent accumulation of rain or snow; suits long span industrial and commercial roofs.
Panels & Light Transmission
• Panel thickness 3 mm or 5 mm; single layer or double layer with insulating air gap to improve thermal performance and block UV.Controls & Integration
• Electric or pneumatic actuation; supports multi channel / cascade group control. Receives/transmits signals to fire control center with real time status during fire events; compatible with manual switch, remote, smoke / rain / wind / temperature / humidity / gas sensors; integrated 24 V backup battery. Input 100–240 VAC, output 24 V, 10–80 A.Actuators & Performance
• Linear drive: 500–3000 N thrust, IP54.• Pneumatic cylinders: Ø 32/50 mm, 6/8 mm joints; double acting with safety locking to prevent unintended opening/closing on pressure loss or over pressurization.
• Fire test: per DIN 18232 3 (30 minute high temperature test as specified).
• Endurance: 10,000 double strokes at 1000 N rated load.
Options & Accessories
• Thermally broken profile for reduced heat transfer.• Fall protection safety net below the opening for maintenance safety.
• Mechanical self locking device for added stability in extreme conditions.
Typical Applications
Industrial plants, logistics hubs, and commercial facilities seeking roof daylighting with coordinated natural ventilation and smoke control—especially where arched louvers or louvered canopy/awning aesthetics are desired but a code oriented ventilator is required.Note on terminology: Sunlight is a daylighting roof ventilator, not a residential pergola or patio louvered awning. Use this device when you need envelope integrated ventilation/daylighting/smoke extraction on industrial/commercial roofs.
Profiles & Sizes
• Tapered profile — Promotes rapid runoff and snow shedding; compact silhouette.• Arched profile — Higher clear height for daylight diffusion and drainage.
• Panel configurations: 3 mm / 5 mm, single or double layer (air gap). Project specific sizes and curbs available on request.
Resources for Architects & Contractors
• Submittals: plan/section, curb/interface details, wiring diagrams, and control logic.• Detailing guides: concealed gutter connections and water management paths for tapered/arched installs.

FAQ
1. Q: Is Sunlight a “louvered canopy” or “louvered awning”?
A: Sunlight delivers the aluminum louvered roof aesthetic in a code oriented roof ventilator—daylighting + ventilation + smoke extraction—rather than a patio shading system. Use Sunlight for building envelope applications on industrial/commercial roofs.
2. Q: When should I select single layer vs. double layer panels?
A: Choose single layer (3 mm or 5 mm) for maximum transmission and low weight; choose double layer where thermal performance and UV blocking are priorities. Both options pair with the concealed gutter, sealed frame for weather protection.
3. Q: Can Sunlight integrate with smoke control and building management?
A: Yes. It supports multi channel/cascade control, life safety signaling, and typical environmental sensors, with an integrated 24 V backup for power loss scenarios.
4. Q: Does Sunlight support arched installations on long span roofs?
A: Yes. Tapered and arched profiles are standard to prevent rain/snow accumulation and suit industrial roof geometries; curbs and flashing are project specific.
