Solutions for a better climate.

 A Simple, Vertical Construction

Verticlair harmonizes the architectural simplicity of the tunnel

with a vertical post: optimum volume, ventilation, and light are
thus guaranteed.

The arched poles, arches, and braces are made of perfectly

balanced round tubes (15/10 and 20/10 Ø 60 mm and Ø 32 mm)
to provide optimum strength. They are made of only the finest
galvanized steels (European EN-10147 standards).

1.5 mm thick

The high quality of the Verticlair system is guaranteed thanks to

basic construction elements: telescopic leg Ø 55 mm,
thickness 2 mm

• Assembly with Filclair connecting crosses

• Patented telescopic legs
ground

• Specially designed arched poles

• Aluminum clips

Because of its exceptional performance and its easy mounting and

maintenance capabilities, Verticlair is now a reference in the field.

Each Verticlair® frame meets the "Snow and Wind" stability requi-

me's latticework, Verticlair® forms a homogenous and coherent
assembly, calculated and manufactured for each individual set of
specifications. The frames comply with the most demanding stan-
dards (NF 57063-57064). CAD software performs the integral cal-
culus on the structures in order to optimize each element.
