BTX A2 Sky Control Skylight System

The unique BTX louvered skylight makes it possible to control light entry through skylight openings, from full open to complete closure. The system consists of louvers tightly stretched between two fully automated headrails. Each headrail is equipped with a drive motor that rotates and subsequently traverses the louvers. As the BTX motors are synchronous, they operate precisely at the same speed and timing so that the louvers rotate and travel smoothly and completely in parallel. The maximum recommended span width between headrails is 6'.

An important feature of the Sky Control™ A2 System is the ability to fully retract from the window opening. By providing side pockets, louvers can be stacked entirely out of sight and full unobstructed glass opening is available. To control light entry and heat gain, the motorized system can be activated by the flip of a switch and the louvers, once traversed across the opening, can be turned to any desired angle to offer complete light control.

The BTX drive motors provide the skylight system with positive traction, which allows the skylight to be placed in any angle, from horizontal to vertical, buttom-up or top-down. The systems are available up to a maximum operation length of 20 feet, however, two systems can be butted together to provide a full 40-foot travel length.

BTX Sky Control™ A2 Systems are widely used to cover skylights in public areas, schools, auditoriums, libraries and museums, as well as in state-of-the-art residential designs.
