The owners wanted to bring a new look for their roof during the hotel’s renovation. Looking at replacements for the acrylic domes, they became interested in the new Velux Neat glass skylights. These sophisticated skylights offered a number of benefits:

• Sleek, modern appearance.
• Argon filled, double paned, lowE³ glass provides a significant improvement in heat gain/loss.
• Clear views without distortion.
• Clean, quiet, safe glass—water sheets off—dirt, bird poop, etc. don’t stick and are washed away—25% quiter than ordinary glass.

All at a lower cost than a like for like acrylic dome replacement. The decision was easy.

What We Did:

Removed and replaced domed skylights with custom sized Velux FCM (Fixed Curb Mount) skylights .

Skylight Specialists also had to act swiftly from the moment the call was taken to the completion of the work to insure the job could be completed before the early winter snowfall.
