There's always a major storm around the corner...
Major storms can contain high, sustained winds or hail which can result in damage to older or poor quality skylights on a building.
When was the last time you inspected your skylights? How about your clients? Finding water-damaged merchandise in your warehouse or retail store due to old, leaky skylights will be too late -- and costly!!
Being prepared is Step 1. Know what damage to look for on an existing skylight.
Some signs of damage include cracks, leaking and/or excess condensation within or around the skylight. Should you spot any of these signs, you need to replace your skylights!
Step 2 is to select a quality skylight to fit your application – make sure it is customized to the region’s weather.
The most ideal choice for skylight replacement in storm-prone areas is our ClearArmour® polycarbonate skylight that is resistant to Class 4 hail (2” size hail). Sunoptics® skylights feature all-aluminum frames with condensation gutters, as well as thermal breaks to provide worry-free leak protection. And if that isn’t enough, Sunoptics® SignatureTM Series skylights can be HVHZ certified for hurricane zones - including FM Approved and Miami-Dade County Approved, Florida NOA No. 21-0318.03, exp 05/26/26!
No matter you or your customer’s skylight needs, Sunoptics® offers a wide variety of products that are ideal for replacement projects, consisting of standard sizes, custom-sizing options and types of materials (acrylic and polycarbonate) to help protect against storm damage.
