The new illumaWALL

Duo-Gard’s new illumaWALL is a revolutionary new product in the lighting design world. The illumaWALL has many practical functions, design applications all while being very green and sustainable, building points with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The wall is also relatively affordable for its application making its over value un-ignorable for almost any building project.

Here are some examples of green advantages from illumawall.com:

“> Projects daylight more deeply into interior
> Minimizes disruptive solar glare and costly heat gain
> Enhances occupant comfort and productivity
> Increases energy efficiency with high R-values
> Lowers building operating and life-cycle costs

> Sustainable Sites – Light Pollution Reduction
> Energy & Atmosphere – Minimum Energy Performance
> Materials & Resources – 3 Recyclable Materials”*

Here is the illumaWALL as signage that you will see at most any newer Panda Express restaurant. A good source of lighting, day or night for a sign or just a wall.

These walls come in virtually any color and have indoor and out door applications. The cutting edge technology for low heat and low voltage is the ultimate in smart design while building valuable LEED points.

Duo-Gard Defines illuma wall as “ (noun, verb, attitude) An innovative interior/exterior translucent daylighting system that achieves design/build versatility, dynamic aesthetics and sustainability combined with unusual affordability.”* I am really inspired by this innovation in design. It shows the what green thinking can do in the 21st century.

Here at Avista Ocean Resort in North Myrtle Beach SC you can see how the polycarbonate panels add very nice well planned lighting from the bar.

The ability to make any wall or ceiling any color and at multiple levels of brightness, while being a green choice and affordable make this an irritable new product and material for any new project.

This is an example from a recent Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Pink Meditation Room. It’s an example of how the new illumaWALL is a good use even at home.

The multiwall polycarbonates give an array of options for design with the optional translucent Nanogel. This with aerogel contributes to the energy efficiency while adding effects sound dampening.

I am very impressed by this new use of green technology in design (interior and exterior), I hope to see it in more building products in the very near future as we build and sustain a greener more beautiful world.
