The Skylux plastic skylights come in different materials and versions. You can choose between acrylic or polycarbonate material. Acrylic glass (PMMA) is also called PLEXIGLAS®. This synthetic material is highly transparent and guarantees a bright daylight. The impact resistance of acrylic glass is 10 times higher than normal glass that is equally thick. Furthermore, acrylic glass is UV resistant, so there is no yellowing or loss of light transmission, even after many years.
Looking for an unbreakable skylight? Then polycarbonate (PC) is the best choice. The impact-resistance of this synthetic material is 250 times higher than glass that is equally thick. That is why we call it an ‘armoured skylight‘. The polycarbonate that we use is UV resistant, so the skylight maintains its colour and light transmission.
Did you know that more than half of the skylights sold today are still double-walled? That is an astonishing figure, certainly if you know that double-walled skylights are far less insulating compared to multi-walled skylights.
At Skylux, they strongly advocate better insulation with triple-walled skylights since they are becoming the standard. And if the budget allows for a four-walled skylight, then that is of course even better! When you install a skylight, it is important to keep an eye on the insulation. In most cases, a double-walled skylight is not sufficient. Make a safe choice with our triple- and four-walled skylights from Skylux.
