Lumira® Aerogel
An attractive, practical way to manage energy and make an environmental impact on your next project.
The Next Innovation in Daylighting Performance
Thermal efficiency or daylight has always been a dilemma — traditionally, higher light levels meant lower energy efficiency. Cellular polycarbonate was the first breakthrough, offering better performance than almost all other materials. Aerogel is the next innovation, taking us to yet a new height in performance.
Features & Benefits
- Certified “cradle to cradle”
- Projects daylight 25% further into space
- Hydrophobic material particles keep water away
- Knocks down sound transmission
- Very lightweight
- Doubles thermal efficiency while sacrificing little light transmission
Translucent silica aerogel — the most effective insulating material in the world.
Panel Thickness & U-Value Comparison
Adding Lumira® aerogel dramatically lowers the U-value of a daylighting panel — the lower the number, the better the insulation.
| Panel Thickness and Style | U-Value | U-Value with Lumira® |
|---|---|---|
| 25mm Flat Sheet | 0.34—0.29 | 0.16 |
| 40mm Tongue & Groove | 0.28—0.27 | 0.10 |
| 50mm Tongue & Groove | 0.20 | Not Available |
