Performances
Whatever day rhythm passengers on a ship have, SageGlass® Marine has the unique property to adapt to every activity happening at every moment during the day. Basically this glass will reduce the cooling load at sea by dynamically adapting to the sun path and angle at all times. Passengers experience an exclusive feeling of well-being and comfort and will spend more time on the ship. As a consequence of the dynamic characteristics, costs for maintenance on blinds and shades both externally and internally will eliminated.
The lowest set point at 1% light transmission will control glare to an absolute minimum creating an environment pleasant to both passengers and crew.
LightZone™ Innovation: Customized Sun Control with SageGlass® Harmony
Individual zone control with LightZone™ With the ingenious LightZone™ function, SageGlass® can regulate the amount of sun that penetrates a window in three individual tint zones. In other words, three different levels of glare protection and daylight entry are possible within the same pane.
SageGlass® Harmony is the newest generation providing a smooth transition that speaks to the human eye, to super high-level designs as well as to residential areas such as cabins and lounges.
Applications
SageGlass® Marine is perfectly suitable for all glass positions with low pressure requirements, such as: atriums, skylights, gyms, restaurant areas and observation decks. It can be installed in normal vertical positions or even as a roof application. So there are no limits to creative designs.
