Hybrid Sails

A hybrid sail is a masterful, free-hanging ceiling sail that combines several building technology components into a single modular unit. It often replaces several trades, significantly reducing installation effort, construction time, and costs.

Technical Highlights

Each sail is custom-made to achieve maximum performance in a minimum of space.

  • Maximum Performance Values

    Outstanding cooling and heating performance (according to DIN EN 14240 and DIN EN 14037).

  • Light & Air Distribution

    Fully integrated LED light bands (UGR-optimized) and optional inductive air guidance for a draft-free climate.

  • Superior Acoustics

    Highly efficient sound absorption (αw up to 1.00) reduces reverberation times even in large open-space offices.

Installation Effort Dramatically Reduced

Bundling multiple trades in one system massively accelerates construction progress.

Why a Multifunction Sail from Estrics?

Maximum Energy Efficiency

Hybrid sails operate with very low flow temperatures, ideal for use with heat pumps. The radiant effect ensures draft-free cooling and even heat distribution.

Integrated Ventilation

Upon request, hybrid sails can be equipped with supply air elements or inductive air guidance to optimize indoor air quality without separate ducts.

Lighting & Light Control

Equipped with high-quality LED light strips, downlights, or RGB light lines – fully controllable via DALI or smart building systems.

Improved Room Acoustics

Thanks to perforated surfaces and absorption fleece, our multifunctional sails achieve excellent sound absorption values (αw up to 1.00), ideal for reducing reverberation times.

Why Hybrid Sails are the Future of Indoor Air Conditioning

Hybrid sails combine aesthetic ceiling design with the efficiency of radiant technology and the functionality of modern room ventilation. They are future-proof, as they harmonize perfectly with heat pumps, photovoltaics, and intelligent building controls.
