Designed using climate-based daylight modelling, the bespoke daylighting solution comprises high performance Kingspan Kapture Prismatic Skylights with climate control glazing and achieves over 90% uniformity. The product’s unique contoured form allows light to be captured at low sun angles, ensuring the internal spaces are illuminated all day and offering savings of up to 80% on artificial lighting energy consumption. Meanwhile, the advanced nano- prismatic glazing layer uses microscopic prism structures to efficiently scatter beams of sunlight, eliminating disruptive glare and ‘hotspots’. Qualita is an established furniture manufacturer making cabinet furniture for major players within the UK and abroad including Laura Ashley, John Lewis, and Habitat. We offer a fully Bespoke furniture service from our Battersea based showroom where our professional team will accompany you through all the stages of the project, ensuring your vision is delivered to meet and exceed your expectations. We work with Interior Designers, Trade Professionals and individual customers to realise each project. A dedicated team of furniture technologists are available to help create the most ergonomic, sustainable and cost-effective solution whilst not compromising the design.
