PMMA dome skylight

We can consider the dome as the most important element of the skylight, since it is the only piece present in each and every model of skylights. Manufactured in methacrylate (PMMA) of casting of first quality worldwide, and with a wall thickness of 3mm, they are considered as one of the decorative elements and architectural solutions most valued by professionals in the construction sector. They guarantee excellent levels of light transmission and thermal diffusion. Description The ice white color normally used for its manufacture allows a luminous diffusion, preventing the concentration of solar rays so annoying for the vision, although it is also frequent the use of the colorless material. On request, domes can be manufactured in any other color, as well as in high impact methacrylate (material considered, together with polycarbonate, as one of the most resistant to impact) or in Plexiglas HEATSTOP®. The domes made of high impact methacrylate are specially designed for areas of high risk of breakage, vandalism and accidents. On the other hand, the domes manufactured with Plexiglas HEATSTOP® have a sheet of ultraviolet protection co-extruded with the methacrylate itself, thus avoiding 50% of the heat entering the interior space. The domes may have a circular, square or rectangular support base. In the case of square and rectangular, the shape of the dome can be parabolic or pyramidal. All of them can be monovalves, bivalves or trivalves, depending on the number of layers and therefore of insulating air chambers that include the domes. The lower valve (s) in the case of the bivalves and trivalves are always transparent.
