Radius Dome Skylight rendering

Radius Dome Skylights

Dome skylights can be used for functional or aesthetic purposes, and are by far the most stunning skylight to view on a building's exterior. In a radius dome skylight, the glass is a true curved radius, as opposed to that in a segmented dome skylight. Laminated glass with colored SGP interlayers can be used to add even more aesthetic appeal, making dome skylights a favorite choice of architects and designers worldwide. Dome skylights can vary in size from relatively small to quite massive, but height and overall size will be determined by both the architect's intent as well as structural engineering calculations. Polycarbonate glazing can be used as a value engineered option.
