11 Skylight Systems & Glazing A.I.A. Industries Skylight Systems, combined with high performance glazing materials, offer unlimited options for cost effective, high quality, creative skylighting for all types of buildings. Aluminum Systems A.I.A. Industries aluminum skylight systems utilize extruded aluminum members with integral condensate gutters, gasket pockets, concealed clips and fastners whenever possible, or welded connections. This offers a clean appearance which structurally meets the required design loads and deflection criteria of each project. All systems are designed to prevent air and moisture infiltration, utilizing gutter systems to channel any moisture to the exterior of the A.I.A Non-Structural Slope Glazing System can be applied to aluminum, wood, or steel structures provided by the contractor. Glazing Performance Data A.I.A Structural Slope Glazing System is self supporting, utilizing extruded aluminum shapes to support the required loads of the entire skylight. Frame Finishes The standard aluminum finish is dark bronze or clear anodize, but A.I.A. Industries also offers a full array of colors utilizing the latest powder coating techniques, enamel, Kynar, or mill finish aluminum. The exterior may also be clad with copper or other metals to match the surrounding roof or flashing materials. This wide range offers the design freedom to match any color with a durable, reliable, long lasting weather resistant finish. Glazing Materials The ultimate success of a skylight installation depends on the selection and use of the proper glazing material and is one of the most important and far reaching decisions the architect and owner will make. This decision impacts the overall design, human comfort, energy efficiency, mechanical HVAC design and loads, daylighting, interior condensation control, ultra-violet fading, plant growth, and sound control. A.I.A. Industries offers glass, acrylic, polycarbonate, or translucent panel glazing options which will meet the design and performance criteria. The selection of the proper glazing material is critical to the performance and beauty of each skylight and should be evaluated taking into account U values, relative heat gain, shading coefficient, light and solar energy transmittance, ultra-violet protection, design loads as well as Glazing Type Transmittance Shading Relative Heat Gain Insulating Properties Visible Light Solar Energy Coefficient BTU s/hr/sq.

Contact A.I.A. Industries for more specific properties and a full selection of glazing materials. Plastic skylights are subject to formation of condensation between domes or layers. This may be objectionable when both layers are transparent. Expansion and contraction of plastic glazing may cause audible popping. A.I.A. Skylights are not designed to support people. Safety devices must be used around skylights for personal safety, contact A.I.A. Industries for specifics. A.I.A. Industries is continually improving its products and may change design, sizes, and details at any time. All information in this brochure is subject to change without notice. A.I.A.
