Abstract
A screen for a glazed area such as a window or a door to reduce heat transfer has a board with a light reflective face and top and bottom tracks to permit attachment to the wall around a window or door opening. In a variant a transparent fluted plastic board has frame extrusions on the top and bottom edge to close the flutes and is supported in top and bottom tracks enabling the assembly to be lifted in and out and slid laterally. This variant can be installed in a window opening and exerts a double glazing and noise reduction effect.
Claims12
A method of making a double glazing assembly, comprising application to the edges of a panel of transparent, plastic, fluted board of the required size, a first frame member to cover the open ends of the flutes along one edge and a second frame member to close the flutes along the opposite edge.
A kit of parts for a glazing accessory which modifies heat transfer through the windows of a building consisting of a sheet of transparent, fluted plastic board, lengths of extruded channel members divisible into tracks, and lengths of cap extrusions, divisible into frame pieces for the sheet.
A kit of parts for a solar screen which modify solar transmission through the window of a building consisting of a sheet of opaque material rendered light reflective on one face, lengths of cap extrusions divisible into frame pieces for the opaque sheets, a length of extruded channel operable to receive and retain one or more edges of the sheets.
A glazing assembly for covering at least part of a glazed area in a building, comprising a removable transparent thermal barrier for the glazed area, having a lightweight, multi-wall panel with frame members attached to at least the top and bottom edges of the panel, and separate channel tracks attachable to the window opening for receiving the top and bottom edges of the panel, whereby the board can be lifted in and out as required.
A panel for covering at least part of a glazed area in a building, comprising a removably light barrier assembly for the glazed area of a building, comprising a lightweight panel with a light reflective face, frame members attached to at least the top and bottom edges and a channel member which is attachable to the window opening so as to project downwardly from the top edge of the glazed area and is capable of receiving the top edge frame member of the panel.
