FAQ
Has the light contribution of the Espaciel Pro deflector been quantified?
Yes, independent experts have modelled the impact of the Espaciel Pro deflector on lighting. They have carried out thousands of numerical simulations which have validated the effectiveness of the system. On a clear day, the Espaciel Pro deflector increases the light flow through an existing window by up to 50%. On a cloudy day, the Espaciel Pro deflector improves the Daylight Factor (DFL) by up to 10%. This high performance provides a substantial improvement in daylighting.
Has the energy gain of the Espaciel Pro deflector been calculated?
A precise study remains to be done on this subject. However, the energy gain has been estimated by a simplified calculation. It can be broken down into two sources of savings.
- Less electrical energy expenditure for artificial lighting. The Espaciel Pro deflector increases the autonomy of natural lighting (up to ¼ hour per day).
- Less energy is spent on heating in winter. The infrared radiation transmitted by the Espaciel Pro deflector provides free heating.
The estimated total energy gain pays for the cost of the Espaciel Pro deflector within 5 years. After that, the savings go into the user's wallet.
Why is the deflector easy to use?
The redirection of light by the Espaciel Pro deflector is directly perceptible to the user. The light projection moves according to the angle that the user gives the Espaciel Pro deflector. This makes its use very intuitive.
Playing with the basic elements such as water, wind and sun offers pure pleasure that is directly experienced when using the Espaciel Pro deflector. It is a new way of combining the useful with the pleasant, while saving energy.
What makes the Espaciel Pro deflector easy to install?
The deflector is incredibly light in relation to its size and rigidity: less than 3 kg for 115 cm of unbreakable and highly reflective mirror.
Everything has been thought out to facilitate installation. The sequence of actions to be carried out during installation has been worked out. Each phase has been simplified and optimised. The installer's movements have been broken down to ensure safe and effortless installation. The product has even been designed to adapt to the size of the person installing it.
Do I need a professional to fit my Espaciel Pro deflector?
For interior installation and for exterior installation on a single-family home, a skilled DIYer can do the installation by himself. It is as simple as making two holes, putting in two dowels, positioning the baffle and screwing in two screws.
However, if you want to install the baffle on the front of a building, you will need a professional to ensure that it is securely fixed.
How does the Espaciel Pro deflector meet indoor and outdoor requirements?
The external environment has been taken into account in the design of the Espaciel deflector. For this purpose, Espaciel relied on the rules of the art and the applicable standards. We have also chosen robust materials. The deflector is mainly made of aluminium. Other materials such as stainless steel and composites are used in the design of the components. This ensures a durability of more than 10 years. The stability of the materials chosen means that all components can be recycled when the Espaciel deflector is dismantled.
What are the disadvantages of the Espaciel Pro deflector?
So far we have not found any...
The only nuisance one could think of would be when there is too much light in the summer. But the deflector is mounted on adjustable pivots. So by turning it 90°, the deflector acts as a flap that reduces the window opening. This is a plus for sun protection.
Glare is not a problem either. The user can change the angle of the sun's direction with a simple gesture.
How do I maintain my Espaciel Pro deflector?
The Espaciel deflector can be cleaned with a simple damp cloth. Its surface is protected from corrosion and the acidity of the air. A polymer film prevents dirt from adhering to the product. This ensures durability even in an urban environment.
How much does an Espaciel Pro deflector cost? The selling price of the standard model (115 cm x 20 cm) is € 350.00 excl. That is 10 times cheaper than drilling and adding a small window!
With Espaciel, improving natural lighting in the home becomes economically and technically accessible.
