Artificial lighting is one of the largest sources of energy consumption in commercial and industrial buildings. Utilizing skylights has been shown to significantly reduce energy costs through the benefits of daylighting.
To maintain structural integrity and weather tightness, specially designed skylights are available for the Astron LPR1000 roof system (> 6 % slope). Astron engineered roof systems provide an integrated effective daylighting solution for your project. Every accessory and opening is fully engineered in our factories, so there’s no necessity for improvisation on the jobsite. Every accessory is designed to work as a part of a complete, weather tight roof system, eliminating leaks and maintenance problems.
Skylights bring natural lighting inside your building. Natural daylight is essential for the well-being and the efficiency of building occupants. Depending on the translucent panel location, natural lighting can be created so that it is either equally distributed or specific to one area. Translucent panels are the most cost effective way of introducing light into a building.
