VERSATILE “DESIGNER” SKYLIGHT LAUNCHED

“Style, function and versatility” …. that’s how Sydney-based interior designer Danielle Dunsford from dbdesigns describes the new glazed segmented skylight from Skydome Skylight Systems.

 Danielle’s comments come after she inspected the new-style skylight recently installed at in inner-city residential project.

Skydome’s production team were able to etch a design on to the glazed panels of the segmented skylight that mirrored the fabric design used in the space below, resulting in an attractive and functional natural lighting feature for the entry way.

 “The effect the glazed segment skylight offers is quite spectacular,”

  “Dependent upon the sun’s position, the shadow of the design etched onto the glass moves over the space below creating a dramatic design statement,” noted Danielle.

 Skydome’s glazed, segmented skylight was built to specification using sections of curved Heat Strengthened laminated glass sections 11.76mm thick, measuring 1800 mm in diameter. Heat Strengthened glass is some 2.5 – 3 times stronger than normal annealed glass

 The latest product range from Skydome’s specialised glazing division has three styles of segmented glazed skylights available – two circular styles and a truncated cone-shaped skylight.  The skylight’s glazing can be clear, tinted or sandblasted to any design.

 The lightweight, yet extremely strong extruded aluminium framing system can also be powder-coated to match any interior and exterior colour selection.

 Apart from domestic use, Skydome’s segmented glazed skylights can be used in commercial applications with diameters of up to 3.4 metres available.

 According to Skydome Skylight Systems Managing Director, Michael Bonello, the development of these new-styled skylights will give designers and architects a greater selection of natural lighting solutions.

 “The new segmented skylight range offers additional creative solutions for natural light use,”

 “They have tremendous aesthetic appeal and design flexibility, enabling greater design freedom when natural light is being used as an adjunct to the design concept,” he said.
