Rigid98 Tubing is recommended for almost all commercial applications. The superior performance of this tubing ensures you get the maximum performance where you need it. Rigid98 Tubing is used in all commercial applications with no ceilings such as warehouses, factories, gymnasiums etc. Flexi-tubeTM is predominantly used in residential applications. In commercial applications the use of Flexi-tube is in areas where higher luminance levels are not required such as toilets, change rooms, locker rooms etc.
Rigid98 Tube
SKY TUNNEL's Rigid98 Tubing is fabricated from Miro-Silver, a premium quality aluminum product manufactured by ALANOD in Germany. MIRO - SILVER the next generation, has a total reflectivity of 98%.
Normal anodized aluminum lighting grades have total reflectivity of up to 87%. To increase or enhance this total reflectivity to a higher level, several nanometer-thin optical coatings must be applied to the aluminum surface in a vacuum.
MIRO-SILVER delivers high efficiency luminance with little light transmission loss and the light stays completely white with no colour spectrum shift - even after numerous reflections. It is also extremely durable and will not fade or lose reflectivity.
FIexi-Tube™
Flexi-tube™ is a tubing system that can be used in certain applications up to 3m in length. With up to 86% reflectivity, Flexi-tubeT° is a cost-effective alternative to Rigid98 Tube providing adequate light when applied in suitable applications. Installation of a Sky TunnelT* with Flexi-tube™ is very easy as the flexibility allows the installation of the Roof Parts and Ceiling Parts to be off center, so avoiding obstructions in the attic space is simple. Manufactured in-house, from the highest quality local and imported materials, you can be sure our Flexi-tubeT" will stand the test of time. Afterall, it already has for 20 years!
