Bilco’s Lumivent™ Automatic Fire Vents
provide natural daylight and energy efficiency,
with an attractive dome and enhanced thermal
insulation. Designed for buildings with large
expanses of unobstructed space, the skylights
open automatically during a fire, allowing
smoke, heat and gases to escape to assist fire
containment. They feature GE’s translucent
Lexan Thermoclear glazing, an innovative
polycarbonate that maximizes light
transmittance while minimizing solar heat gain
and preventing UV degradation. For more
information, visit www.bilco.com.
Centerpoint’s new patent-pending translucent
roofing systems are designed to allow penetration
of natural, filtered daylight without the energy loss
and higher heating and cooling costs of glass
roofing inserts. The new systems use GE’s Lexan
Thermoclear multi-wall polycarbonate sheet, a
material based on GE’s tough Lexan resin. It
withstands wind loads up to 140 mph, has superior
UV resistance and impact strength, is lightweight
and design flexible, and provides exceptional sound
and energy insulation. For more information, visit

DayStar skylights illuminate buildings during
daylight hours without electricity. An
8-square-foot skylight can light 460 square feet
of space for retail sales, office and school
environments, manufacturing facilities and other
workplaces. Their ability to function on the
cloudiest of days reduces lighting energy costs
up to 50 percent, according to the company.
Lens options include full spectrum for most
applications and white for low ceilings and
soft-light office spaces. All roof domes carry
lifetime warranties. For more information, visit

Dipcraft translucent fiberglass panels create
ideal skylights and sidelights for industrial
buildings. White translucent fiberglass panels
reflect heat and transmit 65 percent of light to
provide a soft, scattered effect. Panels are
available in many corrugations to match metal
panel profiles, or they may be mounted on
existing roof curbs. Translucent exterior grade
flat panels are also available for side light and
exterior curtain wall applications. For more
information, visit www.dipcraft.com.
Nauturalite Skylight Systems introduces its new
Vertex2 line of economical fall-protection
skylights. Independently tested to provide fall
protection per OSHA CFR 29 standards, they
have an impact rating of 1,000 foot-pounds. The
skylights are glazed with high-impact acrylics and
a UV-resistant coating to prevent deterioration.
They feature a double-dome design and come in
both dome and pyramid shapes. An optional
thermalized curb construction reduces
condensation inside the skylight and improves
overall performance. For more information, visit

Solar battery-powered skylight blinds from Velux
offer the convenience of an electrical blind
without the expense of installation by a
professional electrician. A built-in solar cell
converts direct or diffused sunlight to electrical
energy, which is stored in a battery with a
capacity of approximately 500 operations without
recharge. The blinds operate by remote control
and are designed to fully block light from entering
the room. For more, information, visit
www.velux.com.
V-Tech skylights from Portable Pipe Hangers Inc.
incorporate a new molding process that ends
skylight moisture penetration by replacing
waterproofing seals. The company completely
encapsulates Low-E laminated glass in aliphatic
polyurethane manufactured exclusively for
V-Tech by Recticel. This allows the glass to bond
directly with the frame, eliminating any possible
water infiltration. The polyurethane is light, stable
and integrally colored. It offers a high degree of
design freedom, a wide color palette and remains
flexible for the lifetime of the warranty. For more
information, call 866-491-0843.
