Dome Skylights
Dome skylights are a specific type of skylight design that is curved or dome-shaped. These skylights are popular for both residential and commercial buildings, because they are attractive and work well. The curvature helps in shedding water and debris, better than flat skylights. This lowers the risk of leaks and helps in clearing away of organic matter that can pile up on flat glass skylights. These domed skylights are available is many different frame types, shapes, and sizes so we can find just the right fit for you building.
Venting Skylights
Venting skylights, or ventilating skylights, let you control the airflow between the inside and outside of a building. You can open or adjust them to improve indoor air quality, comfort, and energy efficiency. Venting skylights come with different ways to open and close them. You might find ones with manual hand cranks, motorized controls, or remote control systems. Some advanced models can even be connected to smart home systems, allowing you to control them with your smartphone or other devices. These features make venting skylights a great addition to any home or building, giving you both comfort and functionality.
Venting skylights promote the exchange of indoor and outdoor air, helping to refresh the indoor environment and reduce the buildup of indoor pollutants. During summer evenings they can be helpful in cooling down the inside of the house by creating an upward draft of hot air pulling in cooler air from the side windows. Venting skylights can assist in moisture control by allowing humid air to escape, reducing the risk of condensation and mold growth.
Tubular Skylights (TDD)
Tubular skylights, also known as Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs) or sun tunnels, are innovative and energy-efficient lighting solutions designed to bring natural sunlight into interior spaces that lack direct access to traditional windows or skylights. Tubular skylights consist of a series of components that capture, transfer, and diffuse sunlight, providing a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to illuminate indoor areas.
Tubular skylights consist of a highly reflective tube that extends from the roof to the ceiling of the interior space. The tube is made of materials with high reflectivity, such as polished metal or coated plastic, to maximize the capture and transfer of sunlight.
Custom Sloped Glazing
Custom sloped glazing refers to specialized architectural glazing solutions that are uniquely designed to fit and complement sloped surfaces within a building's structure. This type of glazing is often customized to meet specific design requirements, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Custom sloped glazing is seamlessly integrated into the architectural design of a building to enhance its overall aesthetics. It is often used in areas with non-traditional roof or wall slopes, such as atriums, skylights, or facades.
One of the primary advantages of custom sloped glazing is its design flexibility. Architects and designers can tailor the glazing system to meet the unique geometric requirements of the building, creating visually stunning and distinctive spaces. Sloped glazing allows natural light to infiltrate spaces that may be challenging to illuminate using traditional vertical windows. This can result in well-lit interiors and a connection to the outdoor environment.
