Hexasteel Air is a skylight designed for the waterproofed roofs in order to carry out daily ventilation in the building. This product is available with manual or electrical activation.
Daily ventilation systems are designed to allow for natural ventilation, taking advantage of the flow of warm air to cool buildings without the need for mechanical intervention (e.g. fan systems). In addition, the Hexasteel Air allows ingress of natural light, saving on lighting energy costs. When called upon, the Hexasteel Air will open on the building’s rooftop, letting warm air’s own buoyancy carry it up and away out of the building, lowering the net temperature.
