CovaTherm Light solar lacquer

When installed by experts, the CovaTherm Light system has a service life of around 8 to 10 years on a sound substrate.

🎂 On the anniversary of the installation of thesolar lacquer , we recommend that you contact a professional for roof maintenance , which includes rinsing and removing particles that could blacken thesystem.

✅ The aim: to maintain optimum use of the product and combat surface discoloration.

Illuminated canopies, inpolyester or polycabornate, bringnaturallight into buildings, but allow UV and infrared rays to pass through.

When temperatures rise, thesun's rays, which hit the canopy, can generate discomfort for employees with what's known as the "hot head effect".

😪 The hot-head effect is a sensation of discomfort in the head and neck after too long an exposure under a shaft of light. It can be illustrated by symptoms such as headaches, dizziness or vomiting.

✅ Installing sun protection systems is an effective and cost-efficientsolution that keeps people comfortable in the workplace , preserves materials and goods, and reduces the need for air conditioning.

Depending on the surface area of the skylights or rooflights on the building's roof, the impact of solar lacquer on the interior will be greater or lesser.

For example

☀️ A building equipped with 25% of its roof surface in skylights, will obtain localized cooling gains below.

🌤 If, on the other hand, the building is only equipped withdaylighting equipment on the roof (less than 20% of the total surface area), it will be more appropriate to cover the roof's waterproofing system.

Polycarbonate is a member of the plastics family. It has a number of properties that make it an effective and resistant glazing material:

• high transparency
• impact resistance
• resistance to temperature variations
• resistance to thermal deformation
  

☀️Le polycarbonate is, however, sensitive to ultraviolet and infrared radiation. This is why, on hot days, it gets particularly hot under polycarbonate openings.

💡The application of CovaTherm Light solar lacquer preserves up to 60% of the natural luminosity provided by the lighting canopy, while protecting everything inside the building from heat and glare.

💡 Thinking of painting a polycarbonate surface? Find out which paint to use and how to apply it properly.

✅ In order to obtain a beautiful finish, we do not recommend the application of anti-UV paint for polycarbonate on glass walls such as verandas, windows, glass roofs...

For this type of material, we recommend bonding a solar film that can be installed inside the building.

Like many other thermoplastic products, polyester is widely used in the outdoor environment for its transparency and resistance properties:

• mechanical resistance, particularly with regard to friction. It is very difficult to scratch or crack.
• resistance to chemicals and aggressive environments.

☀️En As a transparent material, polyester lets the sun's rays through. That's why, on hot days, it's particularly warm under polyester openings.
