The installation of skylight domes - or continuous rooflights - makes optimum use of natural daylight to effectively illuminate industrial or commercial buildings. Such systems create a friendly and bright atmosphere thanks to the daylight streaming in. At the same time, the installation of skylight domes in flat or gently sloping roofs significantly reduces the need for artificial light. The background: daylight that enters buildings from above is five times brighter than daylight that streams into the rooms through conventional building openings. Lower energy costs due to the free utilisation of sunlight and positive effects with regard to the requirements of the German Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) make skylight domes even more attractive.
Skylight dome upstands for new builds or refurbishments
Skylight domes offer maximum safety and maximum comfort
Air exchange without primary energy source
Studies also show that people are also positively influenced by daylight. The natural light source not only increases productivity, but also the motivation, performance and learning ability of employees. Sickness-related absences are reduced, as are the error rate and the frequency of accidents. Effects such as these have ensured that the demand for daylight has found its way into the normative and legal requirements for workplaces. Against this background, skylight domes are increasingly being used in modern buildings for air exchange without a primary energy source. It is therefore not surprising that this requirement has also become part of laws and regulations.
Top curbs - single-walled, galvanised steel sheets
Skylight domes and skylight crowns play a life-saving role in the area of heat extraction. As a natural smoke and heat extraction system (NRA), skylight domes with their upstands can counteract the spread of heat and smoke. In the event of a fire, hot and toxic gases are channelled outwards in a targeted manner. In conjunction with other additional openings, this makes it easier for people to rescue themselves and others and supports the fire brigade's extinguishing measures. Another effect in the event of a fire: By effectively dissipating heat, our upstands reduce the risk of buildings collapsing. As a rule, these profiles are made of single-walled, galvanised sheet steel. The insides are coated in RAL 9002 and have a choice of 40 mm or 60 mm of attached, impact-resistant thermal insulation.
Top rims - customised precision parts
Our components for upstands are manufactured in the same way as our continuous rooflight substructures. Manufactured on modern CNC-controlled machines and using innovative edging technologies, we produce customised precision parts. As a complete substructure system, the frames are optimised for further processing on construction sites on request: perforated, notched or mitred. Material thicknesses of 0.75-4.00 mm are possible. Our customers can choose from a wide range of material types and coatings.
Thanks to a permanent stock of more than 10,000 tonnes of primary material, we can guarantee our readiness to deliver at all times.
Continuous rooflight frames - elements in hall construction
As a load-bearing substructure, our frame profiles fulfil the requirements of industrial construction.
