Luminatrium

The Luminatrium, otherwise known as a portal, allows you to create sensational glazed structures ideal for providing a unique room or entrance way for any building. Light and airy, not only can a carefully designed Luminatrium add character, but the erection process can often help overcome planning issues and provide a satisfying solution to even the most complex site problems.

What is a Luminatrium?
The Luminatrium frame is a rigid independent skeletal framework made from structural aluminium, comprising of rafters, stanchions, eaves beams and purlings that are all covered with a hard wearing powder coating. This skeleton is usually used to provide lateral stability to the structure as a whole. The windows and roof components are then simply built around the framework as a cladding to make the whole construction watertight, and to protect the interior from the outer elements.

The Luminatrium team has years of expertise in the design and development of innovative and world beating Luminatriums. This means we can now carry out new and innovative designs, pushing the boundaries to new heights and new horizons. Working in 3 Dimensional drawings, we can bring your projects to life, supported by our in depth knowledge of this specialist industry, our understanding of all procurement processes and our ability to deliver on time and in full – every time.

Luminatrium Frame

Box section aluminium is used for its strength and rigidity and all the components are designed, manufactured and preassembled in our own factory prior to being powder coated.

Roofing System

Our standard roofing system is the Ultraframe Series 7, which is predominantly of extruded aluminium. This is secured to the Luminatrium structure at regular intervals before being cladded with PVCu both internally and externally.

The Roof Glazing

The materials for roof glazing range from lightweight 16mm Polycarbonate to the highest specification of thermally efficient, specialty glass.

The Windows and Doors

Windows and doors are of the 70mm Veka profile, fully reinforced with galvanised steel for additional strength and rigidity. There is an option on sculptured or bevelled finishes. These come with full BBA and BSI accreditation.
