With PERFOLUX, which was developed with the French Institute for livestock breeding, the farmer kills two birds with one Stone: On one hand, stables and livestock buildings are provided with permanent, draught free ventilation contributing to animal welfare and on the other, natural day lighting floods the building reducing the need for artificial lighting and cutting energy consumption.
The environment in a livestock barn has a direct impact on hygiene as well as on the livestock welfare and health. Therefore the air flow within the building has to be controlled to provide a healthy environment. Light is an important comfort factor which also increases productivity. As cladding, PERFOLUX achieves a windbreak coefficient of 85 % according to laboratory tests. In addition, more than 60 % of natural daylight can pass through the sheets and into buildings.
Perfulux is manufactured from translucent bi-stretched PVC sheets in which 5 millimetre holes are punched. By stretching the material in two directions, a mesh is created within the molecular structure resulting in the tensile strength and impact resistance of the Perfolux sheets being five times greater than that of non bi-stretched PVC sheets.
The translucent perforated PERFOLUX sheet combines these 2 benefits:Optimum ventilationNatural light
