LEED credits and solar control

IR Treatment: polycarbonate with solar protection

Sheets and panels that let light in but keep heat out.

A new product range

PoliCarb® IR and PoliComp® IR sheets and arcoPlus® IR panels let light in but not heat.

They make up Dott. Gallina's product range for transparent coverings and windows with solar control, offering solutions for building applications where high light levels are wanted while internal heating is reduced.

The result can be lower energy spending on cooling and lighting, and greater comfort. The multiwall sheets and modular arcoPlus® IR panels offer great design freedom in skylights, windows, greenhouses, gazebos and more.

Internal temperature comparison

Testing shows that products with a protective infrared filter can significantly reduce internal heating.

Solar control to defeat the heat

In building design, temperature control and heat management are essential to maintain comfort, control costs and maximise energy savings. The IR filter guarantees a high level of light while reducing heat inside the building.

More comfort indoors without giving up the advantages of natural light.

Comparison to other products

Similar products exist, but this technology applies the infrared protection filter only to the external surface. This avoids heating the whole element and passing that heat to the interior.

Daylighting and LEED

Daylighting with translucent polycarbonate can reduce dependence on artificial lighting, while multiwall and IR systems add thermal insulation and solar control. Polycarbonate is also recyclable. Talk to our team about how Gallina products can support your project's green building goals.
