Description

Skylight shutter systems and Honeycomb Blocco are internal adjustable louvre or screening solutions used to control daylight, glare, and heat gain through skylights, angled glazing, and other hard-to-reach windows in residential and commercial buildings. They are custom-made and may be operated manually or via motorised systems (battery, solar, or hard-wired) to suit inaccessible or high-level installations.

Key Features
  • Custom-made solutions for skylights, angled glazing, oversized windows, and feature glazing
  • Internal adjustable louvre shutter systems for light and heat control
  • Manual operation using push/pull pole for tilt adjustment on out-of-reach installations
  • Motorised operation options including 12V Dooya hard-wired systems or rechargeable battery systems
  • Optional solar panel integration to support battery charging and reduce maintenance
  • Remote control operation and optional BMS integration via compatible hub systems
  • Suitable for fixed, angled, and high-level glazing applications
  • Manufactured to suit non-standard shapes and sizes
  • Compact profile designed for reduced light penetration and space efficiency
  • Optional concealed tilt mechanism (Clear View system) for reduced visual obstruction
  • Honeycomb Blocco blinds are internal insulating systems for skylight applications
  • Can incorporate fixed screen systems with timber or magnetic framing for static shading solutions
  • Designed for internal installation in dry, enclosed environments
  • Suitable for residential and light commercial applications including lodges, hotels, and modern architectural homes
Scope of Use
  • Suitable for residential and light commercial applications including lodges, hotels, and modern architectural homes
  • Suitable for use throughout New Zealand, including all seismic zones.
  • Designed for skylights, roof glazing, angled glazing, and other high or difficult-to-access window openings where internal solar control is required.
  • Optional solar panel integration to support battery charging and reduce maintenance
  • Remote control operation and optional BMS integration via compatible hub systems
  • Manufactured to suit non-standard shapes and sizes
Limitations on Use

Skylight shutter, Honeycomb Blocco and fixed screen screening systems are intended for internal installation only in dry, enclosed environments and must be specified within manufacturer size, span, and operating limits. Motorised systems require compatible 12V power supply (hard-wired or battery) and, where specified, compatible control interfaces or BMS integration via approved hubs.

The system is compatible with standard residential and commercial glazing types, including skylights, roof glazing, angled windows, and feature glazing, provided appropriate fixing substrates are available. Custom framing solutions (including timber or magnetic fixed screen systems) may be required depending on opening geometry and installation constraints.

Performance depends on correct product selection for light control and thermal objectives.

Statement of Building Code Compliance

Skylight shutter and internal screening systems are designed for internal building applications and are intended to support compliance with relevant provisions of the New Zealand Building Code when specified, installed, and maintained in accordance with manufacturer requirements.

  • B2 Durability: Components are designed for interior use and intended to achieve a service life consistent with internal building elements under normal residential and commercial conditions.
  • F2 Hazardous Building Materials: Materials used in the system are intended to comply with NZBC Clause F2 and are not expected to present a health hazard under normal use conditions.
  • G7 Natural Light: Adjustable louvre and screening configurations provide control of daylight transmission, glare reduction, and shading to support functional lighting levels within interior spaces.
  • H1 Energy Efficiency: The system can assist in reducing solar heat gain and heat loss through skylight and roof glazing when appropriately specified and installed as part of an overall building thermal control strategy.

Compliance is subject to correct specification, installation, and supporting manufacturer documentation and testing where required.

In-Service History

Skylight shutter and internal screening systems, and similar internal solar control products, have been widely used in residential and commercial buildings internationally for several decades for daylight control and thermal management. Window Treatments NZ Ltd has been manufacturing and installing these types of custom skylight and feature window solutions in New Zealand since 1984, with established use in homes, lodges, hotels, and commercial buildings where control of heat gain, glare, and light levels is required in roof and high-level glazing applications.
