In modern lighting design, the main challenge is to combine energy efficiency with visual comfort. Microprismatic polycarbonate profiles represent a cutting-edge solution, designed to optimize light distribution, reduce glare, and enhance the visual experience in commercial, industrial, residential, and public spaces.
What is a microprismatic profile
A microprismatic profile is a lighting component characterized by a surface made of microprisms. These microstructures control and diffuse the light emitted by light sources, ensuring uniform distribution and significantly reducing glare.
Manufactured using extruded polycarbonate, these profiles guarantee excellent optical performance, durability, and safety even under challenging environmental conditions.
Distinctive features of microprismatic polycarbonate profiles
- Microprismatic structure: The specially designed prism surface improves light uniformity and minimizes direct glare.
- High transparency: Polycarbonate offers excellent light transmission while maintaining superior mechanical strength.
- Weather resistance: Polycarbonate profiles are resistant to UV rays, temperature fluctuations, and impacts, making them ideal for outdoor applications as well.
- Aesthetic versatility: Available in transparent, opal, and colored finishes to meet a wide range of design requirements.
Benefits of using microprismatic polycarbonate profiles
- Glare reduction: They enhance visual comfort in workspaces, educational settings, and public areas by avoiding uncomfortable direct lighting.
- Uniform light diffusion: They ensure homogeneous illumination without dark spots, improving the overall lighting quality.
- High durability and safety: Thanks to the properties of polycarbonate, these profiles maintain consistent performance over time even in harsh environments.
- Modern and elegant design: They enhance both the aesthetic of lighting fixtures and the architectural environment.
Main applications
Microprismatic polycarbonate profiles are perfect for a variety of lighting applications:
- Commercial lighting: Offices, retail spaces, and showrooms requiring high standards of visual comfort and modern aesthetics.
- Industrial lighting: Warehouses, production plants, and large facilities where efficient and safe lighting is essential.
- Residential lighting: Domestic lighting systems designed to create welcoming and visually comfortable atmospheres.
- Urban and public lighting: Parks, walkways, and public areas where diffuse light is needed without causing glare.
Available finishes
Microprismatic polycarbonate profiles are available in different finishes to suit any technical or aesthetic need:
- Transparent: For maximum light transmission and brightness.
- Opal: For a soft, uniform light diffusion and significant glare reduction.
- Colored: For customized designs where lighting must seamlessly integrate with the surrounding environment.
Innovations in microprismatic profiles
The advanced extrusion technology used for polycarbonate profiles enables the development of increasingly high-performance solutions, such as:
- Special LED profiles: Opal finishes specifically designed to mask point-source LEDs, providing continuous and homogeneous light diffusion.
- Anti-UV and self-extinguishing profiles: Perfect for outdoor installations and environments subject to fire safety regulations.
- Coextrusion technologies: Combining rigid and soft materials within the same profile to enhance functionality, simplify installation, and protect LED components.
