Skylights

Benefits

Overview/Information

No matter where they are used, in commercial or residential projects, skylights make an architectural statement; they introduce natural light in everyday activities and promote aesthetic design.

Unicel Architectural Skylights use special mullions that offer increased durability and sleek shapes to any project they are incorporated in. Also, architects prefer specifying our skylights thanks to their energy efficiency features. According to recent research, a skylight with a Vision Control^® glazed area of 5,000 square ft. (465 square meters) will reduce capital cost by $25,000 and will annually save $18,000 in operational energy cost compared to a similar double-glazed structure. The same comparison can be made in the case of a wide atrium with skylights of 23,200 square ft. (2,155 square meters): Vision Control^® reduces capital costs by $80,000 and it annually saves $65,000 in operational energy cost.

Copper-capped skylights are also available and ideal for government projects and historical buildings where matching old architectural themes are imperative.
