SERRAGLAZE - light redirection systems for buildings.
Serraglaze is a daylighting system developed for buildings to reduce the need for artificial lighting and enhance the comfort of occupants. Serraglaze consists of a patented acrylic sheet that incorporates minute, precisely shaped and positioned air pockets “lamellae” that are four times narrower than the thickness of a human hair. Light hitting the lamellae is redirected onto a white ceiling which acts as a reflector to increase daylight at the rear of the room providing more uniform lighting throughout and a more comfortable environment for occupants of the room while allowing them to see out.

SERRAGLAZE CANOPY - light redirection systems for buildings.
Serraglaze installed in an external canopy “sees” more of the sky than is available in a vertical window and therefore more light is brought into dark buildings. Computer modelling has demonstrated that significant increases in illumination of the interior are provided by Serraglaze as the angle of the obstruction created by the building (or other obstruction) opposite increases. Dramatic increases of two to three times the internal illumination level can be obtained.
