Translucent Roof by Louvretec
Description

The refreshed 270 Translucent Opening Roof allows filtered light to flow through when this Opening Roof is closed – so if loss of light is an issue when the roof is closed, this style provides an ideal solution.

The 270 Translucent Opening Roof now features an all new white infill panel of Acrylic Naturelite Plexiglas. Plexiglas offers UV protecton throughout the material, it does not rely on an applied surface coating. This is one of the reasons Plexiglas is used in aircraft cabin windows to protect from strong UV light and substantial differences in pressure and extreme cold.
