We attended site yesterday to fix a broken skylight damaged by a falling tree in recent storms
Luckily for the owners this skylight was laminated, low e so it stayed in one piece.
For custom skylights we recommend Laminate glass, as it offers a range of benefits for various applications. Firstly, its main advantage lies in its enhanced safety features(pictured above). The interlayer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between two layers of glass makes it highly durable and resistant to shattering upon impact. In case of breakage, the glass remains in place, minimizing the risk of injury from sharp fragments.
Additionally, laminate glass provides effective sound insulation, reducing external noise pollution. It also offers excellent UV protection, blocking harmful rays that can cause fading or damage to furniture and fabrics. With its versatility, durability, and safety features, laminate glass serves as a reliable choice for skylights. Consider adding low e for reflecting heat in custom models and also retaining heat in winter.
