Design Options

LoE Tempered Glass

Skyview Skylight manufactures its skylights with a high performance LoE tempered insulated glass. The glass includes a NEAT finish preventing water stains. This glass is specially designed to block out the sun and UV rays. Our glass keeps your home insulated year-round and the proprietary glass acts as a shield from the sun’s heat as well as the long term inconvenience of faded furniture. The skylights are divided by partitions of glass; each segment made as large as possible while still maintaining optimal safety conditions. 

Specialty glass options such as frosted or obscure are also available.

All options are offered in operable or fixed.
