Xtralite + Nanogel®

Xtralite Rooflights specialist glazing expertise, and the science of Nanogel, creates a unique solution to complete the first example of a Tesco store built using the company’s low carbon blueprint. Nanogel consists of silica-based granules that are placed between the rooflight glazing ‘skin’.

The unique properties of these granules give the glazing tremendous light diffusion, heat and sound insulation properties. The Xtralite Nanogel rooflights fit the building’s grid, allowing maximum use of natural daylight and minimising the use of artificial light. Using an intelligent lighting control system, individual lights are dimmed when daylight is available further contributing to Tesco’s goal of reducing their carbon footprint.
