GET A SLEEK AND MODERN LOOK WITH SKYLIGHTS

Architectural Skylights

Multi-Lite Single Pitch Skylight

These skylights are generally curbed around the entire perimeter and may be on flat or sloped roofs. The curbs may be standard 2 x or 4 x material roofed and flashed. Curb size is determined by skylight size and structural requirements. Curbs may be perpendicular to the roof or plumb to the ground. In steep pitched conditions or beyond a four in twelve pitch the plumb curb is desirable.

Multi-Lite Ridge Skylight

These types of skylights are applicable to conditions where the skylight continues in the same plane as the roof pitch and the ridge of the skylight follows the line of the ridge of the roof. They can also be mounted on curbs on flat roofs with a variety of skylight pitch options and glazed vertical ends. Both types of skylights can also be attached to adjacent vertical walls at either or both ends. Skylight pitch is generally determined by other architectural conditions or aesthetic requirements.

Pyramid Skylight

These types of skylights are typically mounted on curbs on flat roofs. The skylights are available with a variety of slope or pitch options. The skylight takes a pyramid shape over a square opening and is identified as a Double-Hip over a rectangular opening. Rafter placement and glass size are determined by the geometry created by the combination of the relationships between sides and the desired slope. Multi-sided pyramids are available over six or eight sided openings as well as over irregular multi-sided opening in all sorts of configurations. Skylight pitch is generally determined by other architectural conditions or aesthetic requirements.

Barrel Vault Skylight

These types of skylights work well to open up hallways and corridors. They offer vaulted transparent or translucent space above and a range of arched rafters from low vaults to hemispherical skylights with glazed vertical ends. They cover building-connecting walkways and can attach to vertical walls at either or both ends. Vault radius is generally determined by other architectural conditions or aesthetic requirements.

Canopy Skylight

A canopy is defined as a roof-like structure or cover. Our canopies generally cover entryways, walkways or outdoor areas without perimeter walls. A wood or steel framework provides the structure and the Royalite frame supports the glass, acrylic or polycarbonate glazing. Always popular in shopping malls, hotels entries or over commercial entryways, the canopy has become a fashionable way to dress up homes where the front or back porch is uncovered.
