How Does Skylight Shading Work?
Physics, stability and aesthetics combined for premium sun protection.
01 — Principle
Exterior screen blinds
Our shading mesh covers operate on the proven principle of exterior screen blinds. They are installed directly onto the outer surface of the skylight, stopping solar radiation before it can penetrate the glass and heat up your facility.
Maximum Stability
The screen is securely fastened using a heavy-duty system of flexible rubber cords and straps. This guarantees high stability even during strong winds and harsh weather conditions.
Flawless Aesthetics
Unlike liquid solar coatings, which can leave uneven streaks, our screen covers provide a completely uniform and premium look from both the outside and inside.
Long-Term Reliability
Engineered for demanding industrial environments, our shading mesh delivers consistent performance for years.
02 — The Physics
Curious about the science? Let's look at the physics
To understand exactly how light and heat interact with the Coolmonkey system, it is necessary to observe the basic properties of the luminous flux from the sun. The main parameters to be addressed are:
Light transmission vs. solar energy
The relationship between visible light and total solar energy and its spectral composition.
Light incidence angles
How the angle at which sunlight strikes the roof and facade construction affects heat load.
Transmission, reflection and absorption of heat
How thermal radiation distributes between transmission, reflection and absorption by the fabric.
Diffusion of light flux
The unique core of Coolmonkey fabrics diffuses light — an important factor for proper operation of technologies in the hall.
Safety
Coolmonkey shading tarpaulins are not protection against hail, but they significantly improve the resistance of polycarbonate to hail.
