Galaxy Hipped Ridgelights

Features & Benefits

Galaxy Hipped Ridgelites feature a softer, more elegant design.  Hipped ridgelites are the same as traditional ridgelites except we replace the gable end walls with hips just like a hipped roof of a home. The hipped configuration gives the skylight a softer more elegant appearance and is the choice of many architects and designers.
