FSS® FOREST SKYLIGHT SYSTEM

Two systems combined, smooth motorised operation to cover a horizontal or sloping skylight window.

FOREST SKYLIGHT SYSTEM FSS

The Forest FSS is a motorised skylight system designed for rooflights, skylights, atriums, conservatories and glass roofs. The system allows window coverings on hard-to-reach glazing to be operated easily at the touch of a button. The FSS is suitable for large and high glass surfaces and is used in both residential and commercial projects.

Key features

APPLICATIONS

The Forest FSS is suitable for residential, hospitality, hotel, office, retail and marine environments. It is designed for situations where manual operation is not possible or practical.

The system can be applied to both horizontal and vertical glass surfaces and provides an effective solution for controlling light and heat in large glazed areas. Thanks to the electric operation, the system can be opened and closed effortlessly, even on hard-to-reach windows.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

In a project at a Czech bank, the system was installed beneath a glass roof. Due to direct sunlight, the space heated up quickly and unwanted light entered the interior. With the FSS, light is effectively controlled and the indoor climate significantly improved.

The video shows a skylight that would be difficult or impossible to cover without the FSS. With the motorised system, this skylight can still be operated easily and reliably.

BENEFITS

  • Can be curved with a variable radius starting from a minimum of 20 cm
  • Large dimensions possible without additional support (up to 7 × 3,2 metres)
  • Long service life of components, with a 10-year warranty
  • Fabric runs from wall to wall, preventing light from entering at the sides
  • Depending on the fabric choice, the system allows full blackout or controlled light transmission
