Skylight Materials

Materials for skylight manufacturing, skylight domes, skylight frames, and other skylight applications. (NAICS 332321)

Lightweight and easily machinable and moldable, plastics provide design flexibility and allow skylights to fit various architectural requirements that may be difficult for glass to fulfill. Plastics such as polycarbonate and acrylic are durable, weatherable, and allow natural light to pass through, making them great choices for skylights that won't shatter or break.

Skylight Materials Overview

What material is used for skylights?

Plastics such as polycarbonate, PETG, and acrylic are used in skylights because of their ability to allow natural light to pass through, withstand harsh weather, and reduce the need for artificial lighting. They are easy to handle, offer impact resistance and fire resistance, and can provide thermal insulation for energy efficiency. PVC's durability and weather resistance allow for its use in skylight frames and profiles. Plastics used in skylights can be molded into various shapes, treated to resist UV radiation, and are a cost-effective option compared to glass.

Materials for skylight applications fall under NAICS code #332321.
