On site consultation
Before contracts are signed, we offer on-site consultation with the customer. Demonstration samples will be provided in order for the customer to come to a well-balanced decision. Our engineers can be deployed worldwide but as part of the programme we offer training to on-site personnel.
Glare and dazzle in the tower can be disastrous, it is therefore of paramount importance for the correct daylight-filter to be chosen. Reflex-Rol will visit your airport and advise accordingly.
There are many variables to be taken into account before specific calculations can be made, values determined and recommendations made. These include: |
|
- Longitude and latitude of building
- Specific location regarding adjacent buildings and countryside
- Each facade in relation to the sun's path
- Height from the ground
- Building design
- Technical properties of glazed unit such as glass type, cavity size and cavity content

| Solar glare control products |
We manufacture two groups of solar glare control products: the Reflex-Rol series and the First-Rol series.
Reflex-Rol is a single non-sealed unit with integrated solar reflector foil and operating system. First-Rol is a single, double-glazed and sealed unit with integrated reflector foil and operating system.
Products in each group have an individual application profile and technical specification. Reflex-Rol and First-Rol can be manufactured and shaped to fit any square, rectangular, trapezoidal or triangular window design and can be installed in a vertical, inclined or horizontal position. Some product examples include: |

FIRST-ROL HERMETICALLY SEALED UNITS
First-Rol is a single, double-glazed and sealed unit with integrated reflector foil and operating system. The First-Rol operating system is fully automated and can be adjusted electronically via wall mounted or infrared remote control. Its control system can also be integrated with a building's central control system. Sizes are limited to a maximum of 1500mm wide by 2100mm high, therefore only applicable for the smaller control tower.

REFLEX-ROL FIXED SOLAR AND GLARE CONTROL PANELS
In situations where full roller systems are not economical or practical, semi-fixed panels, making use of the same high capacity reflector foil can be installed. These panels can be easily removed for window cleaning and other maintenance purposes.
|
CONTROL METHODS AND SHADING MATERIALS
Systems can be operated manually, electro-mechanically or electronically offering a top-to-bottom or a bottom-to-top drop. Depending on the sizes of the shades, 24VDC motors, 110VAC or 230VAC motors will be deployed.
Reflex-Rol produces a range of shading materials, the AR760 being the airport and control tower standard. Other materials are also available for more standard office type installations, whether a normal vertical window, inclined or horizontal skylight. The Aviation system can also be deployed in many other non-standard-shape windows.
