Commercial Skylights
Our commercial skylights provide natural lighting solutions for warehouses, gyms, and industrial facilities. These high-tech units distribute light evenly throughout buildings, reducing reliance on electric lighting by up to 40% of utility costs. Installed in major projects like Dyess Air Force Base hangars and Frito Lay warehouses, our systems combine durability with energy efficiency to meet net-zero goals while maintaining structural integrity.
Safety Screens
Safety screens prevent falls through skylight openings in commercial buildings. Required by OSHA standards, these screens are manufactured to fit any project size and installed alongside skylights. Used extensively in military bases and manufacturing facilities, our safety screens provide permanent protection while maintaining daylighting functionality. Custom solutions ensure compliance with state and federal safety regulations for existing and new installations.
Roof Curbs
Roof curbs serve as mounting bases for skylights on various roof types. Our industrial-grade curbs feature security grilles and weatherproofing for commercial applications. Designed for durability in harsh environments, they support heavy-duty skylight frames and integrate with smoke vents and roof hatches. Used in projects ranging from retail stores to military facilities, these components ensure long-term performance in extreme weather conditions.
Tubular Skylights
Tubular skylights channel natural light through reflective tubes to interior spaces. Ideal for narrow installations in residential and commercial buildings, these systems maximize light distribution without compromising roof integrity. Our patented technology enhances light output while maintaining energy efficiency. Commonly used in schools, offices, and retail stores, they provide full-spectrum lighting that improves occupant well-being and reduces electricity consumption.
Security Grilles
Security grilles protect skylights from vandalism and unauthorized access. Installed on commercial and industrial buildings, these durable metal covers maintain daylighting functionality while preventing break-ins. Custom-fitted for various skylight sizes and shapes, they meet safety standards for high-traffic areas. Used in government facilities and retail locations, our grilles combine robust protection with aesthetic integration into building designs.
