Controlling and Adding More Daylight

Imagine a shopping center or mall that has continuous glass skylights over all the common areas. Now imagine a church purchases the mall and wants to expand the amount of glass skylights to create an expansive sanctuary.

This is exactly what was asked of us. We created a solution that met all the requirements, including some special challenges:

• The new skylight had to look similar in appearance to the obsolete existing skylights.
• To parallel an existing ridge light, the new skylight tied into an existing ridge light at a perpendicular angle.
• Balancing the daylighting factors with the appropriate choice of glazing.
• Replacing and wet sealing over 1800 panes of glass.

Product Used:

• Supersky Skylights (frame only).
• PPG Viracon Graylite II, heat strengthened laminated glazing.
