SKYLIGHTSTAR skylights are available in single-dome, double-dome, and triple-dome configurations. Double-dome units create a thermal barrier between the two domes. This is our most popular option. Triple-dome units are recommended for use in extremely cold climates. Single-dome units are used only for unheated spaces. All acrylic domes are fabricated from cast acrylic, the highest quality and most impact resistant acrylic. Available in 1/8” 3/16” or 1/4” thickness.
FLAT GLASS GLAZING OPTIONS

CLEAR – Recommended when the maximum amount of light is desired. However this option creates excessive solar heat gain and has minimal ultraviolet protection. Usually used as outer dome in conjunction with White, Bronze or Grey domes.

Plastic glazing has one fourth the thermal conductivity of glass, giving it an insulation value of approximately 20% better than standard glass. The introduction however, of specialty glass such as Low E and Heat Mirror have drastically improved the insulation and heat transmittance of glass skylights.
