A-Frame Skylights
When replacing a larger domed skylight on a flat roof application, an A-frame system designed to hold flat glass skylights can provide much higher energy efficiency and a more appealing look.
The glass remains clear for all its life and the new low E3 sealed units give 2-3 times the energy efficiency of acrylic domes. This makes the room below much more comfortable (cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter). This also provides up to 99.9% UV protection.

The new glass greatly reduces the heat that had been created by the acrylic domes, allowing our clients to enjoy the room in even the hottest, sunniest of summer days. </span>','A-Frames','thisisthelink253','nowaythisistaken253');)

This old barrel dome skylight had faded substantially and was ruining the art work in our client’s home, as well as making the room much too hot. |
