Skylight Introductions and Improvements
By Stephani L. Miller
Installing skylights is an easy way for builders to incorporate more daylight into homes. Here are some of the most recent skylight introductions and improvements.
Now available to the residential market, Wasco's Architectural Series SkyWindows come in a variety of configurations and styles, including planar, extended pyramid, and square pyramid. The skylights feature condensation gutters to drain water from the exterior and urethane thermal breaks to further minimize condensation. Custom sizes and styles and several glass options are available. 800.388.0293. www.skywindows.com.
ODL's improved Builder Series Tubular Skylight features the patented Solar Lens dome, which is designed to optimize light through the tube even during low-light hours. The Builder Series kit comes with two diffusers: a flat, low-profile glass diffuser with an inner lens that maximizes light while reducing solar heat gain; and a decorative glass diffuser that resembles a traditional light fixture. The skylight is Energy Star–qualified. 800.253.3900. www.odl.com.
Sun-Tek's six models of curb-mounted or self-flashed Extreme Weather skylight units meet Metro-Dade County building code requirements. Two impact-rated glass skylights, three impact-rated polycarbonate units, and one curb-mounted tubular skylight are available for 120-mph or greater wind zones. 800.334.5854. www.sun-tek.com.
