Bring the Nature light in by Polycarbonate Skylights
Durable, Energy-Efficient Daylighting Solutions
What is skylight?
A skylight, also known as a roof window, is installed in a roof or ceiling to introduce natural light into a building or covered space.
In addition to brightening your home with sunlight, skylights can also provide ventilation if they are operable or vented, allowing fresh air to flow indoors. Designed to create a bright and airy atmosphere, skylights enhance both functionality and aesthetics. Typically, skylights are pre-fabricated products, while roof windows are often custom-built to fit the specific design of your building.
Types of Skylights and Roof Windows
Flat Roof Skylights: Normally it's a Fixed non opening skylight suitable for roofs between 0-60° in pitch, where added ventilation is not necessary
Curved skylight: Polycarbonate Sheet dome skylights feature a arched dome, designed to capture light at low angles.
Bubble Skylight: Round Skylight, dome skylight, Made of polycarbonate sheet or Acrylic sheet, or prismatic Sheet.
Pyramid or Dome Skylights: Often made of materials like acrylic or polycarbonate, these are designed for architectural appeal and are common in commercial or industrial settings
Benefits of Skylights and Roof Windows
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
A skylight or roof window can provide over 3 times the natural light of a vertical window of the same size. . By installing skylights or roof windows, these areas can be predominantly lit by natural light, with little or no artificial lighting required.
Enhancing Aesthetic Appeal
Skylights and roof windows also offer greater flexibility in architectural design. They allow natural light and fresh air to enter spaces where vertical windows are impractical, such as in areas with privacy concerns or where unique architectural aesthetics are desired.

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.
