In addition, there was also a requirement for the curved perimeter glazing to provide further shading.

Dearnleys supplied and installed an Astralux 6000 motorised internal Venetian Rack Arm system to the circular rooflight, cut to exact size during installation.

In addition, Dearnleys supplied and installed Silent Gliss 6100 curved manual track with a Silent Gliss Wave curtain, using Sundown dim-out fabric to the curved glazing.
