Architectural Plastics Ltd., have been in operation for nearly 40 years. They expertly maintain a high standard of quality and durability.

Skylight Vaults of your required specific lenght can be produced. The recommended width is 8 feet (2.44 meters). They may be built to 11 feet (3.35) wide if necessary.

The ideal solution for your project calling for substantially increased light transmission. And in particular, for a long linear application.

Vaults can be cold formed or thermally formed; each has particular advantages. The specifications below will help you decide what will best suit your project.

For COMMERCIAL PROJECTS THAT REQUIRE INCREASED LIGHT TRANSMISSION. ________________________________________________________________ A Continuous vault skylight, rather than multiple individual skylights can be the solution! ________________________________________________________________ Built with shatter-proof molded acrylic dome extended by cross-band dome supports with resilient gaskets. ----- Or constructed with pre-arced aluminum mullions with resilient gaskets. ----- (Depending on if thermally or cold formed). ----- Completed with an exclusively designed 6063-T5 mill finished extruded aluminum alloy No-Frost frame.

Specifications

Standard models of Thermally formed Continuous Vault skylights have the following specifications: A 41mm (1 5/8") & 100mm (4") wide curb; A choice of a clear or white (translucent) single acrylic dome OR a clear outer dome and a clear (white translucent) inner dome for double dome selection.

The frame is 6063-T5 mill finished extruded aluminum alloy (No-Frost) complete with cross-band dome supports and resilient gaskets. The supports (also in aluminum) are spaced approximately 1219 mm (48") from center to center. Overall length of the unit is shown on the diagram.

For any required dimensions not specified on the list of standard sizes for thermally formed Vaults, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Vault Skylight Warranty & Characteristics

--All vault skylights carry a 5 year warranty (at minimum) from manufacturing and material defects.

--are built in conformance with the Canadian government specifications CGSB 63-14-M89. Standard.
--All acrylic dome vaults are engineered to meet the National Building code live load requirements.
--They also satisfy fire code requirements when tested in accordance with ULC-S-102.2.
-materials are proven to resist discolouration and hazing, and even loss of strength.
This was proven by our products after more than 25 years of successful outdoor use.
-Our positive curb frame seal stops wind, rain, snow and dust.
-Pliability of the seal permits free expansion of acrylic during atmospheric changes.
-Low conductivity of acrylic resists the formation of condensation.
-They act as a passive solar heating system. The increase in daylight transmission results in savings on heating and electricity
