Multiwall polymer sheet, and methods for making and articles using the same

In one embodiment, a multiwall sheet comprises: non-intersecting polymer walls comprising outer layers and transverse layers. The transverse layers intersect the walls to form cells. The multiwall sheet has a non-uniform cell density. In another embodiment, a multiwall sheet can comprise: non-intersecting polymer walls comprising outer layers and a transverse layer and/or a divider. The transverse layer and/or the divider extends from one of the polymer walls to another of the polymer walls to form cells. The multiwall sheet has a non-uniform cell density. In yet another embodiment, a multiwall sheet comprises: non-intersecting polymer walls comprising outer layers and transverse layers. The transverse layers intersect the walls to form cells. The multiwall sheet has a different number of inner layers, transverse layers, and/or dividers, in different portions of the sheet. The multiwall sheets can be used, for example, in a naturally light structure.

Roof structure

SLAT FOR A SLATTED ROOF OR A SLATTED WINDOW, AND A SLATTED ROOF OR SLATTED WINDOW HAVING SUCH A SLAT
20170130454 · 2017-05-11 · ·

The invention relates to a slat (1) or a slatted roof (20) or a slatted window, comprising a light-permeable sheet-like covering element (2) having a longitudinal extent and width (b), wherein the width (b) is less than the or extent, and having an axis of rotation (5) which runs along the longitudinal extent of the slat (1) in order to pivot the slat (1) between a closed position and an open position, in order to allow a particularly flexible variation of the incoming sunlight entering a room (22) situated below the slatted roof (20) and in order to be able to set the desired temperature, climate control and brightness conditions in the room in a targeted manner, it is proposed that the slat (1) has at least one light-impermeable sheet-like shading element (6) having a longitudinal extent and a width (h), in which the shading element extends with the longitudinal extent thereof along the longitudinal extent of the covering element (2), that it is arranged with a first longitudinal side (6a) on the covering element (2) and projects with a second longitudinal side (6b), opposite the first longitudinal side (6a), from the covering element (2), wherein the at least one shading element (6) is arranged in the areal extent thereof at an angle () to the areal extent of the covering element (2). (FIG. 10).
