More about this product

The panoramah!® Skylight is an innovative opening solution that allows inclined panels of glass to be
opened allowing easy access to roof terraces and big ventilation areas. The system relies on a unique
track system that allows sliding elements to be operated at any given angle. It can be manual or
motorized and be interconnected with the domotics in order to automate tasks such as scheduled
opening/ closing, rain sensitive sensors or intelligent heated glass. The system can be easily engineered
up to 6m2 panels and is currently being developed for larger unit sizes.

SKYLIGHT, for an open view

The architect and designer Le Corbusier was already considered a pioneer in architecture in the last
century for his stunning open façade designs. The Centre Le Corbusier in Zürich from the 1960s, for
instance, is fascinating as it replaced the more familiar materials of concrete and stone entirely with
elements of steel and glass.

The design of the panoramah!® Skylight with its minimalist appearance o ers a similar kind of open
aesthetics and at the same time embodies a solution to a common problem: panels of glass set at an
angle had hitherto been impossible to open. The system relies on an innovative track solution that
allows sliding elements to be easily operated at any given angle. This not only provides better
ventilation but also easier access to roof terraces for example.

Self-explanatory and intuitive-to-use, these innovative elements can be operated both manually and by
an electric motor. Moreover, this system can also be operated via contemporary building management
systems in order to automate tasks and connect them to wind and rain sensitive sensors. Another
important aspect is that the innovative form of the angles allows the window panels to be fully opened.

The well-thought-out concept of the panoramah!® Skylight also makes the production of window
systems of up to four sliding tracks possible.

The skylight complies with the highest technical requirements and standards and ensures good heat
insulation as well as outstanding waterproofing.

Based on an innovative approach, this system o ers new possibilities in architecture and thus a new
outlook.
