Guardian 275® skylights and canopies provide diffuse natural light without the hot-spots and glare commonly associated with glass glazed skylights. Their aluminum framing and sandwich panel construction also make them strong but lightweight, reducing the need for additional support structure compared to glass systems.
Guardian 275® systems feature advanced Ultimate Series™ face sheet technology, available thermal breaks, numerous insulation and sheet color options and industry-best warranties. TransCURVE™ curved skylights and canopies are also available for a unique design element.
Performance
Standard Guardian 275® skylights are available with 2-3/4" thick panels (individual panel sizes up to 5’-0" by 20'-0") to maximize daylight and minimize cost. Panel grid options include In-Line Shoji, Staggered Shoji, and Tuckerman patterns in sizes from 6" by 6" to 12" by 24". Custom grid pattern options are also available.- Translucent panel skylights are lightweight (roughly 3lbs per square foot depending on the application), which reduces structural requirements for most roof designs.
