Light, Gods eldest daughter, is a principal beauty in a building.
- Thomas Fuller, Architect
Since 1973, Skyline Sky-Lites has manufacture d
a complete line of skylights, monumental glass
s t ru c t u res, and sloped glazing systems. We are
capable of providing anything from a small dome
skylight through a fifty-foot free-spanning glass
s t ru c t u re. With the many impressive and innova-
tive projects we have successfully completed all
a c ross the country, we have established ourselves
as an industry leader.
Skyline combines its own innovations with the
latest technology to assure every product we
m a n u f a c t u re meets our unparalleled commitment
to quality. Our meticulous craftsmanship and
innovative product engineering ensure that each
systemmeets every technical re q u i rement for both
p e rf o rmance and longevity.
Each and every systemwe produce incorporates
a stacking gutter design consisting of both
p r i m a ry and secondary weep gutters within the
aluminumextrusions. The integral gutters stack
above one another at intersecting points dire c t i n g
any moisture to the exterior of the building. This
p rovides a mechanical, leak-proof design, which
is not dependent on exterior sealants that could
fail over time.
The open arc h i t e c t u re of our systemdesign allows
for the combination of any glazing material, with
any geometric shape, at any given pitch. Given
the vast array of glazing options available today,
the designer has virtually unlimited possibilities to
naturally daylight a space. Using high perf o rm a n c e
glazing, the control of visible light transmission,
solar heat gain, and energy loss is truly attainable
with a transparent skylight and is no longer limited
to translucent skylight systems. All available
glazing options, whether glass or acrylic, are
i n h e rently UV stable and UV blocking.
Skyline offers conventionally capped framing
systems with no exposed fasteners, as well as two
and four sided structural silicone glazed systems,
which eliminate the obstruction of water on the
glazing surface of the skylight. Available frame
finishes include clear and color anodized,
F l u o ropolymer (Kynar 500

) paints, powder
coat and acrylic enamel paints with limitless
color possibilities.
Our sales and technical staff are eager to serv e
you with design assistance, advice, and pricing
for the appropriate product to match your day-
lighting re q u i rements.
