F.A.Q.
Additional aspects of commercial skylights, including their impact on air quality and acoustics, lifespan and maintenance considerations, specialized applications, and emerging technologies.
How do skylights impact indoor air quality and ventilation in commercial spaces? Are there options for skylights that can be opened or integrated with ventilation systems?
Skylights that include venting can positively impact indoor air quality. Venting options can be manual or automated based on temperature, weather, or time of day. These venting skylights can help improve air circulation, reduce humidity, and remove indoor pollutants.
What are the typical lifespans of different types of commercial skylights, and what kind of warranty options are generally available?
The lifespan of commercial skylights typically ranges from 20 to 40 years, depending on the materials used, quality of installation, and maintenance.
How do skylights affect the acoustic properties of a space, especially in large commercial buildings like offices or schools?
Skylights can help absorb and diffuse sound. They can reduce the echo in large spaces. The height of a skylight can improve sound distribution. On the other hand, the hard surfaces of skylights can reflect the sound and potentially increase noise levels. And, of course, rain or hail hitting the skylights will create noise. Skylights can be designed with laminated glass that has a sound-dampening quality.
Are there any specific considerations or specialized skylight options for unique commercial environments such as museums, greenhouses, or indoor sports facilities?
Specialized environments often require custom skylight solutions like museums which must protect the artwork. Skylights can be made using UV-filtering glass or light control. Greenhouses benefit from skylights that maximize light transmission while managing heat. Indoor sports facilities require impact-resistant skylights and use shatter-resistant materials.
Are there any emerging technologies or materials in skylight design that are expected to revolutionize the industry in the near future?
We are now offering an option to integrate solar energy panels in the panes of glass. These panels can provide electricity to fans or lights installed with the skylight.
Other innovations on the rise include electrochromic glass which allows skylights to change opacity electronically, adjusting light transmission and heat gain without the need for shades. Another innovation is photochromic and thermochromic materials that react to light or heat respectively, automatically adjusting their tint to optimize indoor comfort.
