POLYCARBONATE LINE OF FILTER PROTECTION IR
SOLAR CONTROL TO DEFEAT THE HEAT
In Sicily, the region’s largest mall “Centro Sicilia”, is characterized by more than 12,000 m² of translucent covering. This single level structure is an excellent example of architectural functionality based on the principles of eco-sustainable design – the most important feature for a center situated in a region where the temperature easily reaches very high levels. The application of the skylights of huge size would have allowed for tremendous internal heat build-up resulting in extraordinary air conditioning costs. The use of the wide polycarbonate sheets with the exclusive IR filters has permitted to solve the problem of internal overheating, making Centro Sicilia unique project. The Polycarbonate IR sheets constitute covering of all common areas of the center

NATURAL PROTECTION
The heat coming
from solar heating is for
the most part absorbed
by the external surface,
treated with IR absorbers,
that limits radiation to
the inside of the building
and the consequent
heating up.

The PoliCarb® IR, PoliComp® IR sheets and arcoPlus® IR panels let light in but not heat. They make up Dott. Gallina’s new product range for transparent coverings and windows with solar control. All products from the IR line offer innovative solutions for typical building applications where high levels of light are wanted while reducing the internal heating.
The potential result: reduced energy spending for cooling and for lighting as well as higher comfort. The multiwall sheets, and the modular arcoPlus® IR panels offer incredible design flexibility in applications such as skylights, windows, greenhouses, conservatories, and many others thanks to the wide range of available products.
