Skylights can be glazed with many options including high performance glass and polycarbonate. Units are characteristically shop pre-fabricated and shipped knocked down for field assembly. Skylights can be incorporated onto any pitch roof line. Normal size is 8’0 x 8’0 or less for this specific system.

Retractable roof panels are single sloped, operable skylights which operate on a motorized cable system. The skylights can be operated independently or as part of a group and can be used for large scale enclosures as an alternative to our normal ridge vent system to provide an open air environment. As compared to ridge vents, the size of a retractable skylight is much larger and will allow more ventilation. Each skylight has the ability to operate up and down or left and right.

If venting is necessary in a low-pitched roof, in-system skylights are the perfect solution. The skylight’s function is similar to a ridge vent as it maneuvers on a hinge. These skylights are small and unobtrusive visually to the roof, and allow fresh air into the space. The operation of the skylight can be either manual or motorized. One motor can control up to a two bay skylight.

Curb mount skylights are typically designed as pre-glazed units which require minimal field installation; saving on costly field labor and minimizes possible mistakes. The welded corners provide superior protection against water infiltration and curb deflection.

Pyramid and hip end skylights by Solar Innovations, Inc. can be used on both residential and commercial projects. Units are available in regular, irregular, and custom configurations. The skylight can be built to virtually any size. All glazing and finishes available in the industry can be utilized on the pyramid skylights. Venting options are available.

Dome skylights by Solar Innovations® are the highest quality in the industry, constructed out of a sturdy thermal aluminum frame. Sizes and designs can be completely customized to owner’s preference. Two systems are available: radius (bent glass and framework) or segmented (flat glass and framework). A radius system is typically more of an investment but has better long term water resistance because it has less seams and joints. A segmented skylight is less of an investment but will require a skilled installer.

Barrel vault skylights by Solar Innovations, Inc. are traditionally used for commercial applications as walkways or overhangs, but can easily incorporated in residential applications as well. There are two different barrel vault systems, a true radius (bent glass) or a segmented (flat glass) barrel vault. Either option can utilize a thermal or non-thermal frame. All sizes are completely custom. Glazing can be either multi-wall polycarbonate, acrylic or glass.

Roof lanterns are glass structures which sit on top of a lower structure. They are a great way to add charm to a building without the cost of a complete glass structure. The lantern allows for natural daylight to enter the lower structure, or can purely decorative if placed on a closed roof. Ventilation can be added to the lantern in the form of ridge vents, eave sashes, or retractable skylights. The motors and control options used to aide in ventilation are of superior quality. An addition of decorative elements will add unique appeal and functionality to the structure.
