Hail damaged acrylic skylight, proof that acrylic is not a good glazing choice.

Encompassing 133 square miles of areas in Colorado Springs and unincorporated portions in the Falcon area of El Paso County, District 49 is one of Colorado’s fastest growing school districts.

Earlier this year, another violent hailstorm  roared through the district and did serious damage to many of the skylights, requiring many unit skylight retrofit.

Product Used:

Results:

  • The polycarbonate outer dome provides superior protection against Colorado hailstorms.
  • The sidewall of the VELUX Dynamic Dome has been engineered to harvest more sunlight during low-light periods (morning and evening).
  • Most commercial skylights allow condensation to collect within an interior gutter. The VELUX Dynamic Dome utilizes a fail-safe proprietary wicking system that evacuates condensation to the exterior of the skylight.
  • An encapsulating design that provides an impenetrable water barrier with a 100 percent thermally broken skylight frame.

Benefits:

  • Improve the daylighting and solar heat levels required for the space.
  • Reduce dependence on electric lighting—increase energy savings.
  • Increase the facility’s property value.
  • Healthy, natural daylight in the space with soft translucent light and accurate color rendition.
  • No required maintenance or re-coating costs
  • In classroom environments, increased daylighting has been shown to increase students performance.
