Commercial property owners now have the option of installing thermally efficient, maintenance free skylight systems that will perform 20 years from now the same as the day it is installed.

The past few decades have seen the acrylic dome style skylight become the choice of architects and builders. Because of the problematic nature of acrylic dome style skylights, in relation to condensation problems, water leakage , fading, heat gain and loss, etc., the industry has received a poor reputation. The advent of caulking compounds has also left a black mark on the industry. Most skylights that depend upon caulk as a waterproofing agent require a lot of maintenance over the life of the skylight.

Our commercial skylight system is an A-Frame skylight that has a waterproofing system that is based downward overlap. It is made up of a combination quality standard size skylights that are mounted on our custom made A-Frames. Waterproofing is done by our highly experienced staff using rubberized membrane underlays and standing seam metal panels to integrate the skylights into the A-frame assembly. No sealants or caulk is used when this system is properly installed.

Each system comes with a thermal break and adequate condensation gutters that have been tested in northern climates. The lenses in the skylights are guaranteed against seal failure for 20 years. In the very unlikely event that a problem should arise, such as storm damage or vandilism, repairs to our A-frame units are easy and inexpensive.

The photos above right show a large commercial project we did on the Fairwiew Mall out in St. Catherines, Ontario . Lots of preplanning created a site safe for both us and shoppers below. Using readily available commercial grade skylights made the job progress smoothly and will give years of trouble free use and they look great.
