SKYFLOOR BH

THE WALK-ONATRIUM GLAZING

SKYFLOOR BH - THE WALKABLE ATRIUM GLAZING

Basement rooms are mostly dark. For this reason, windows are installed which provide access to daylight through light shafts, while at the same time protecting these shafts against the soil pressure. The SKYFLOOR BH ensures to transport the maximum amount of light even to basement floors. At the same time, the surface remains accessible: garden and traffic access are not restricted.

Often, neither the amount of incoming light nor the appearance of the conventional light shaft are satisfactory due to the very bulky steel grid. SKYFLOOR BH represents here the optimal solution of walkable floor glass and manhole cover. The existing grate is replaced by a walk-on glass cover framed in stainless steel, which directs as much incoming daylight as possible to the basement floor. In this way, incoming daylight can be directed to the basement floor without barriers with maximum light yield. By means of a ventilation track extending along the wall of the house, the shaft as well as the adjacent cellar space remain ventilated.
The Skyfkfloor BH ensures the drainage of accumulating rainwater by means of an integrated water gutter.

As well as maximized use of incoming daylight, you will also have a high quality, clean-lined feature, which retains the full use of terraces, garden and circulation areas.
