About OKALUX® Light Diffusing Insulating Glass

OKALUX® light-diffusing insulating glass elements illuminate rooms evenly to a depth of 50 feet while maximizing light transmission. OKALUX® eliminates hot spots and provides perfect light diffusion. The light-diffusing properties of OKALUX® are due to the capillary inlay in the air space cavity, enabling a truly natural expression of the entire light spectrum.

Color Rendering Index As High As 97%

The best way to harvest natural daylight.

  • Maximum Dimensions: 78″ x 177″
  • 1″ Thickness (1/4″ glass, 1/2″ air space, 1/4″ glass)
  • U-Value: 0.44/btu/hr/°F (standard makeup)

Light transmission, solar heat gain coefficient and u-values

can be customized to the location and the elevation.

Capillary glass is distinguished by its particularly good heat insulation properties. The small capillary tubes on the inside work like little air cushions that prevent convection of air in the cavity. They also reduce thermal radiation of the sun.
