LAMILUX: Sustainable Daylight Systems for Green Building

The LAMILUX brand is a household name in the field of daylight systems. The Upper Franconian company of the Heinrich Strunz Group in Rehau is particularly concerned with sustainable products relating to natural daylight, ventilation, smoke and heat extraction.

Modular glass roof MS78 combines the best of two worlds

At the trade fair stand, we learn about the special features of the MS78 modular glass roof. It is a combination of the best of two worlds. It combines the advantages of a flat roof window with the benefits of a glass roof such as the freely planned PR60. The major advantage is that it is easy to plan, and all planning data including technical features such as energy efficiency and the values for planning a residential building are included. The MS78 modular glass roof is also quick and easy to install. In principle, LAMILUX always focuses on the environmental balance, but with the MS78 this is particularly important.

Daylight systems highly insulated, free of thermal bridges and thermally separated from the building

It is worth noting that this is a completely thermally separated product. The isothermal curves are located entirely within the building through up to 3 panes of mineral glass, i.e. a highly insulated product, the entire construction is free of thermal bridges and the design is decoupled from the building in such a way that no thermal bridge is created anywhere and no condensation can form. This makes it the best choice for residential and prestigious commercial buildings.

LAMILUX: Sustainable production made in Germany and short distances

It also depends on the design: Sash to sash and scaled to size, the building owner saves around 40% compared to freely planned glass and gains enormous time savings during execution. LAMILUX configures a quotation for each request and the customer receives a solid price. LAMILUX is not the cheapest supplier on the market, but can claim to produce exclusively premium products made in Germany, i.e. sustainable production with short distances. Overall, the MS78 modular glass roof is a very exciting product that is as easy to install as a flat roof window. A complete glass roof can be installed in just half a day. It is also an absolute top product in terms of energy efficiency and tightness. In addition, sash to sash can be installed and any number of opening sashes can be controlled for ventilation. This feature is also unique to LAMILUX; most other manufacturers have to work with fixed glazed intermediate elements.

Products for the energy-efficient refurbishment of existing buildings

At the DACH+HOLZ 2024 trade fair, the manufacturer will be presenting standard products for the industrial and logistics sectors as well as products for refurbishment, in particular for the energy-efficient refurbishment of existing buildings. The desire to preserve buildings is offset by the need to refurbish them with demanding specifications for insulation and energy performance. Using the LAMILUX F100 flat roof window as an example, the company will be demonstrating its contribution to this at the trade fair stand. It is important to the company to use extension and renovation elements such as Fitadapters to ensure that buildings can be renovated at a later date while retaining the building envelope. The purpose of using extension elements is to be able to install additional layers of insulation. If insulation is already in place, this measure can be used to add a further layer of insulation with a higher curb. The whole thing is then professionally insulated so that the building envelope is tight again.

Sustainability: insulation is more important than ever

The topic of insulation has gained massively in importance, on the one hand due to legal requirements and on the other hand due to the increase in extreme weather conditions. LAMILUX offers products in both the industrial and residential construction sectors that are extremely impact-resistant, hail-proof and can withstand extreme snow loads. In the industrial sector, too, multi-pane glazing in wave form is now being used for greater stability and energy efficiency, which has a physical advantage. The products even withstood tests in the wind tunnel under hurricane conditions with winds of 100 kilometers per hour. This kind of stability has become particularly important in view of the weather developments in recent years.
