Let Natural Light In with Polycarbonate Skylights
Durable, Energy-Efficient Daylighting Solutions
What is Daylighting
Daylighting uses natural sunlight to illuminate interior spaces, reducing dependence on artificial lighting during the day.
By adding architectural skylights, windows, and other features that bring in natural light, these systems create brighter, healthier spaces that boost productivity and lift people’s spirits.
Daylighting systems design strategy or set of products used to bring natural sunlight into a building’s interior to reduce the need for artificial lighting.
Types of Daylighting
Passive daylighting strategies: Passive daylighting include building orientation, window placement and sizing, clerestory windows, skylights, solar tubes, light shelves, reflective surfaces, open floor plans, and shading devices.
Atrium skylight: Atrium skylight systems, such as modular skylight systems and roof window applications, use an atrium glass roof or longlight skylights to bring abundant natural light into multi-story interior spaces. These solutions enhance aesthetics, improve energy efficiency, and reduce reliance on artificial lighting.
Translucent Walls: Translucent wall systems, including polycarbonate solutions, are ideal for modern commercial architecture, façades, and wall cladding. These systems can be used for both retrofits and new construction, offering stylish and functional daylighting performance.
Active Daylighting Strategies:
Use mechanical systems like solar-tracking skylights, motorized louvers, heliostats, and fiber optic daylight transport to capture and direct natural sunlight indoors. These systems maximize daylight, reduce glare, and improve energy efficiency in modern buildings.
Benefits of Architectural Commercial Skylights
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
With daylighting solutions, commercial skylights can reduce energy costs by up to 40%.
They also allow passive solar gain for better energy efficiency.
Enhancing Aesthetic Appeal
Architectural skylights and modern skylight installs bring stunning natural light into commercial and industrial spaces, making interiors feel brighter and more inviting.
As a trusted commercial skylight supplier, we know that daylighting systems highlight design features, improve color accuracy, and create a modern, elegant look that transforms any workspace
Improving Health and Well-being
Daylight skylights for commercial spaces can greatly improve workplace health and wellbeing. Natural sunlight boosts vitamin D, supports the immune system, and regulates mood, while also reducing stress and sick days.
Overall, commercial daylight skylights help create healthier, happier, and more productive work environments.
Maximizing Small Spaces
Skylights make small spaces feel larger and more open by flooding them with natural light. They draw the eye upward, creating a sense of height and airiness.
Modern skylight installs and architectural skylights enhance daylighting in compact commercial or residential areas, improving both functionality and aesthetic appeal while reducing the need for artificial lighting.
Why Polycarbonate Skylight?
High Impact Resistance
Polycarbonate sheets are 250 times stronger than standard glass, making skylights made from polycarbonate hail-resistant and more durable than acrylic skylights.
Weather Resistance
Polycarbonate skylight domes are UV-rated, making them ideal for outdoor use. They are available with glazing options in clear, tinted finishes, or as light diffusers.
Sustainability
Polycarbonate skylight domes are a sustainable choice due to their energy efficiency, allowing natural light to reduce reliance on artificial lighting. They are durable, lightweight, and recyclable.They optimize light transmission while controlling heat gain, enhancing energy savings and eco-friendly building design.
Budget Friendly
polycarbonate skylights are more cost-effective than glass skylights. Polycarbonate is not only more affordable in material and installation costs, but it also offers added benefits like superior strength, impact resistance, and lightweight properties, which can reduce structural and maintenance expenses over time.
