Color diffusers can be used in any pattern, this page shows just a few ideas. |
Concept
The Tiered Skylites are prefabricated of extruded aluminum members and welded corner sections. Translucent white acrylic diffusers, illuminated from above with fluorescent light fixtures in the plenum, provide a lighting system in beautiful natural skylight designs.
Shape
Square and rectangular shapes are all standard. Custom shapes are also available. Size
There is no limit to the size of our skylights, starting as small as 4' x 4'. Some typical examples are shown. Tiers
There is no limit to the number of tiers. Some typical examples are shown. Diffusers
The standard luminous diffuser is #S80A, .080" white translucent acrylic. A simulated wire glass pattern on the diffusers is a standard option. Many colors of translucent or opaque acrylic and even polished metal, fabric, wood veneer and acoustical panels are available. |
Finish
The standard grid finishes are White, Bronze, Black and Silver Satin Polene. Special polene painted colors are available. Real wood veneer with clear lacquer finish also available.
Perimeter
The Tiered Skylite designs require a transition detail and several typical conditions are shown using WA2 angle and PE3 beam. Lighting
Standard open tube fluorescent fixtures, either strip or reflector style, are used in the plenum above the ceiling system. Care in the plenum and lamp center design should be taken to assure even illumination on the diffuser surface. Skylite Depth
The Tiered Skylight design is based on a 45° angle rising 4-1/2" for each tier so that the depth of the skylite is a function of the number of tiers. Three tiers = 12-1/2" ect. The lamps should be at least 9" above the skylite. |
