This Sunshine skylight (OpenAir 4-piece type) was installed in the Chelsea neighborhood in January 2010. It consists of 3 sliding sashes and a top-mounted fixed sash made of seawater-resistant and thermally separated 3-chamber aluminum profiles. The external dimensions of the OpenAir sliding roof window are 335 x 650 cm (width x height).

Verladung und Montage des OpenAir-Dachfensters
The skylight was transported to London on a special low-loader and was lifted by crane to the top floor at a height of 20 meters within a very short time. As it was delivered ready for installation, the road only had to be closed for 4 hours for unloading.
Features
Super warm glass
Laminated safety thermal insulation glazing (Ug value 0.6 W/m²K in accordance with EN 673).Protects against heat loss and incoming “cold”.
Indispensable in winter temperatures to create comfort and avoid “draughts”. Thermal insulation like a 36 cm thick brick wall.
Sun protection function ipasol shine 40/21
Protects from solar heat, only about 21% of the energy reaches the interior. The heat is no longer noticeable, yet ventilation cannot be dispensed with. The light transmission is reduced to 40 % and is generally hardly noticed due to the good color neutrality Depending on the viewing angle, a slight bluish shimmer can be seen from the outside.
ActiveTM - Glass
Cleaning effect of the outer glass surface by glass-hard, imperishable titanium dioxide coating. In combination with sunlight by catalyst effect decomposition of organic substances. Rain rinses off the dissolved particles without dripping and you enjoy a good view even in rainy weather. The cleaning interval for the glass surface is significantly extended.
Automatic control with weather station
Suitable for automatic and manual control (also radio and bus operation) of sliding roof windows, interior awnings, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, etc. using temperature, humidity,
sun, wind and rain sensors. Device in an attractive ivory-colored surface-mounted or flush-mounted housing approx. 160x165x60mm (WxHxD, flush-mounted) with large display and display of important weather data Power supply 220-240 Volt via supply cable 3 x 1.5 qmm, control cable 2 x 2 x 0.8 qmm.
Uninterruptible power supply
Device in tower design 214 x 412 x 346 mm (W x D x H) for uninterruptible power supply protects against downtime, data loss, process interruptions and thus against damage due to the provision of the necessary mains voltage in the event of a power failure for a short time. Rated power 3.0 kVA, 2.7 kW — Bridging time at full load approx. 5 minutes — Weight approx. 35.5 kg
Folding system
Folding plant
extruded, thermally separated aluminum composite profiles made of AlMg-Si 0.5 F22 (Uf-value 1.7 W/m²K) with controlled pre-chamber drainage, seals made of EPDM (2 stop seals, center seal with anti-trap protection (12 mm gap), glazing seals corner-vulcanized, hinge seals, additional stainless steel sealing inserts and corner connectors with adhesive injection technology. Stainless steel bolts & screws.
Interior awning
Sunshine large indoor awnings have been developed for shading very large areas of up to 100 m². The awning is moved by an electric drive located in the fabric winding roller. The drive motor of the awning is a so-called plug-in drive (220 – 240 Volt, 50 Hz, 16 Ampère) and is equipped with thermal protection and limit switch. The guide rails, the mounting brackets and the awning housing are made of powder-coated aluminum.
The awning cover is made of weather- and light-resistant acrylic fibers.
