Eco walkable & drive-over
Eco is the evolution of the standard walkable & drive-over adapted for use in extremely cold or hot climates.
Low thermal transmittance U=0,74 W/m2K, due to the use of argon filled air
chamber within the dome and low Emissivity glass. As a result, this version is also suitable for passive construction.
