A reduction in the amount of solar gain was one of the reasons why KoolShade® was specified.

KoolShade® screens were quickly and easily fitted on the outside of windows, thus lowering the amount of direct sunlight whilst still allowing clear views through the large windows.

RESULTS

  • Significant reductions of solar heat gain
  • Permanent unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean
  • Perfect natural daylight with 100% CRI
  • 80% Natural ventilation
