Overview
A light trap lets a house stay light-tight while still breathing. The sheets are extruded PVC in a double-wave shape, which is what gives good shading without choking airflow.
Tiles connect via shackles, increasing the thrust surface area for a tighter fit, and sheets are modular within each unit so they can be pulled out for cleaning.
