Roofed and enclosed rooms protect from wind and rain—but not always from intense solar exposure. The heat adds up and temperatures rise. Shading brings cooling, but the room is darkened at the same time. This can be very unpleasant—for people, animals and plants. Classic shading systems use diverse additives, for example, white pigments, aluminum or absorption pigments. By applying this, however, not only the heat portion of the solar radiation, but also the visible light is shaded. The actual goal is a high transmission of light along with a low solar transmission. Through the selective transmission of Solar Interference coatings, a large part of the visible light is allowed to pass through while a large part of the sun's heat rays are reflected. Ideal applications include, skylight and roof lighting panels, interior ceiling lighting panels, greenhouse glazing, atriums, lobbies and sunroofs.
