DAYLIGHTING
Important to Architects
Lighting from the Front
The best form of store front is plate glass, set in patent corner clamps or posts for two-thirds of height, to a transom bar. Above this bar panels of our 4-in. pressed crystal prisms should be set in the same manner as ordinary glass. The result is that the upper part of the show windows, which are useless for display purposes, in fact, are a hindrance to artistic trimming, are used to flood store with daylight.
A new method of Luxfer store-front lighting is the LUXFER sign, made in any color of opalescent glass, and combined with Luxfer Sheet Prisms, this gives a handsome sign and a large amount of daylight illumination at the same time.
Lighting from the Rear
Where the building has no alleyway, but is built against the building in the rear, our Extension Skylight Prisms are used. These pressed crystal prisms are 12 by 13 inches square, and are set in ordinary skylight frames. The daylighting result from this installation is marvelous. If the building has the old-fashioned form of skylight, the cost of Luxfer will be saved in lighting bills for six months, by changing the present glass for Luxfer Prisms. Our installation is guaranteed leak-proof for two years, and is approved by the Board of Fire Underwriters.
Where there is an alleyway, but so narrow as to cut off all light falling at an angle, our Luxfer Prism Canopies should be installed, which are practically our 4-in. pressed crystal panels set at an angle after the manner of awnings. These receive the light directly from above and are attached to the building by metal brackets.
Basement Lighting
The basement that extends under the sidewalk is an ideal proposition for the installation of Luxfer Sidewalk Prisms. By our reinforced concrete system bright daylight may be secured throughout, at a cost no greater than for any good standard glass sidewalk.
Understand that this installation means that we complete the sidewalk for the area covered by prisms, and guarantee that it will support more weight and wear longer than any other form of sidewalk lighting construction.
We install our sidewalk at any point, or ship in ready-to-set slabs, as desired
