Sunbender® Reflector/Shade
Introduction
The Sunbender® Reflector / Shade is designed to fit any well-built, sturdy curb mount skylight.
During the heating season the Sunbender® Reflector / Shade reflects from 100,000 to 200,000 extra Btu’s per square foot of skylight into the building below. In the lowered summer position, it shades the skylight and greatly reduces heat gain, while still allowing light to enter.
Two Choices Available
There are two ways to purchase a Sunbender:
1. The Sunbender Reflector/Shade Complete comes with a mill-finish aluminum reflector pan and all of the frame kit components for installation.
2. The Sunbender Frame Kit only does not include the reflector pan. The reflector pan for this is made of ribbed steel 26 gauge roofing panel and must be purchased separately by the customer.
General Information
Ten percent of a roof area in skylights with Sunbender® Reflector / Shades is sufficient to supply a large share of the winter heating, while the same area shaded during the summer provides adequate lighting without overheating. The key to the Sunbender’s performance is the adjustable reflector. To allow desirable heat during April, a fixed overhang or clerestory admits unwelcome heat in August. In New Mexico, the Sunbenders are lowered in late April or early May, and raised in October.
