Product Focus On: Skylights, Daylighting & Solar Collectors

October 14, 2011

Industrial LightCubeIndustrial LightCube

Sunoptics

The Sunoptics Industrial LightCube was designed to bring high-performance prismatic daylighting technology into a simple, ready-to-install device that provides performance for large and small projects alike. Through the use of 98 percent reflective interior mirror surface and the use of Sunoptics proven prismatic lens design, the product provides the maximum amount of properly diffused daylight to the interior space compared to competitive solutions while dramatically reducing system install costs in any roofing system. Sunoptics is now part of Acuity Brands. For more information, e-mail info@sunoptics.com or visit www.sunoptics.com.

 

Lumivent SkylightLumivent Skylight

The Bilco Company

The Bilco Company’s Lumivent provides all the security and value of an automatic fire vent with the added benefits of a skylight. The Lumivent is UL-listed and features a multi-wall polycarbonate cover design that resists UV degradation and offers superior insulation performance over traditional domes. For more information, visit www.bilco.com.

 

SunWave Daylighting SystemSunWave Daylighting System

FirestoneBuildingProducts

The Firestone SunWave Daylighting System is a premium daylighting product featuring a double-glazed, acrylic, prismatic layered dome that provides the highest visible light transmittance with superior light distribution. Over 4,000 tiny prisms per square foot refract, direct and diffuse sunlight into thousands of micro sunbeams, decreasing the use of indoor electrical lighting up to 70 percent during daylight hours. For more information, visit www.firestonebp.com.

 

DryLight SkylightDryLight Skylight

Carlisle-SynTec

Carlisle’s skylights and accessories help to lower energy costs by reducing the need for traditional lighting. They offer benefits beyond energy efficiency, too. Studies demonstrate that skylights can improve retail sales, student learning, productivity and occupant health. Carlisle’s DryLight offers these benefits plus Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) manufacturing technology, a process that creates a monolithic, virtually leak-proof assembly. For more information, call 800-479-6832 or visit www.carlisle-syntec.com.

 

Solar PV Standing SeamSolar PV Standing Seam

Metal Tech

MT Solar PV Standing Seam roofing utilizes photovoltaic technology to provide energy to the building. The standing seam profile combined with the solar cells creates an eco-friendly solution for any building project. Because the paneling used is fabricated with sustainable materials such as zinc, this roofing application is ideal for use in green construction projects as well. The Triple Junction Technology makes it possible to harness the full potential of any available sunlight. Even if the sunlight is limited, the MT Solar PV Standing Seam is able to capture any available sunlight and convert it into power. For more information, visit www.metaltech-usa.com.

 

Skylight Fall ProtectionSkylight Fall Protection

Garlock Equipment

Sky-Dome is a freestanding, lightweight, one-piece system that prevents falls through skylights. To use, simply set in place and walk away — no mechanical attachment to the skylight or roof is required. You can protect every skylight on your roof in just a couple minutes each, and it won’t cost a fortune. A wide variety of sizes are available, from 2-feet-by-2-feet up to 6-feet-by-2-feet. Features include all-steel construction and a powder coated finish in safety yellow. Custom colors and galvanized finish are available. BIM objects are available for free download at ARCAT. Design complies with OSHA 1910.23(e)(8). A patent is pending. For more information, call 800-328-9522 and www.garlockequip.com.

 

Flat Glass Sun Tunnel SkylightFlat Glass Sun Tunnel Skylight

VELUX

VELUX low-profile, flat glass Sun Tunnel skylights offer an enhanced roof profile and are ideal where standard tubular skylights are not the best choice. They are particularly useful where developments restrict the use of domed skylights, offering roofers a profitable option for bringing natural light into client homes. For more information, visit www.veluxusa.com.

 

Custom SkylightsCustom Skylights

e-Skylight Inc.

The e-Skylight Inc. website was launched a decade ago and remains the most revolutionary way to plan, design, and order custom skylights.
