OKALUX insulating glass with capillary slabs have many talents. They diffuse daylight into the depth of the room, while providing very good sun and glare protection. Their heat insulation properties are excellent and the transmission values of the glass can be individually adjusted to suit the requirements of the building. Capillary glass is attractive under both natural and artificial light conditions. During the day, the channel glass with capillary inserts from OKALUX captivate through their modern appearance creating a special atmosphere. Visitors fell comfortable in the agreeable daylight environment. At twilight or even at night, when the artificial light is turned on, the building shell glows from inside.
