Benefits of Impact Resistant Skylights
If you’re considering installing impact resistant skylights, you’ll benefit from their durability and protection against harsh weather conditions. These skylights are designed to withstand strong winds, heavy rain, and even hailstorms. With impact resistant glazing, they’re less likely to shatter or break, providing you with peace of mind during severe weather events.
In addition to their weather resistance, impact resistant skylights also offer enhanced security. The strong materials used in their construction make it difficult for intruders to break in through the skylight.
Furthermore, these skylights allow for ample natural light to enter your space, reducing the need for artificial lighting and potentially lowering energy costs.
Types of Impact Resistant Skylights
When it comes to impact resistant skylights, there are a few options to choose from.
One type is the flat welded curb skylight, which consists of a thermally broken frame to maximize performance.
Another option is the pyramid skylight. Pyramids stand as enduring symbols in architectural history. This particular shape facilitates effective water runoff and offers customization options for various pitches. Moreover, all dimensions are tailored to individual designs, eliminating the need to adhere to standardized models.
Installation Process for Impact Resistant Skylights
To install impact resistant skylights, follow these steps:
- Prepare the opening in the roof by ensuring it’s clean and structurally sound.
- Position the skylight frame onto the curb or curb adapter, making sure it aligns properly.
- Secure the frame to the curb using the specified fasteners provided by the manufacturer.
- Install the glazing panels by aligning them with the frame and carefully inserting them into the designated slots.
- Apply sealant around the perimeter of the skylight to create a watertight seal.
Remember to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for any additional steps or specific requirements during the installation process.
Maintenance Tips for Impact Resistant Skylights
To maintain your impact resistant skylights, regularly inspect and clean the glazing panels to ensure optimal performance.
Begin by checking the panels for any signs of damage, such as cracks or chips. If you notice any issues, it’s important to address them promptly to prevent further damage.
Next, clean the glazing panels using a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface. Gently wipe the panels with a soft cloth or sponge, paying attention to any dirt or debris that may have accumulated.
Finally, rinse the panels thoroughly with clean water and dry them with a soft, lint-free cloth.
