Design Case Study: CUSTOM ROOF WINDOWS

Consideration needed to be given to the thermal performance of the glazing in order to counter-act the possibility of such a large glazed area creating a ‘heat sink’ in the room beneath.  

The final design needed to allow for the minimization of the weight of the final window units given the structural limitations of the existing site. The external flashings would need to be customized to allow for the integrity of the installation to the apex of the roof. 

ACOL Skylights was able to provide the customer with a wealth of design options in order to reach a viable and cost effective solution.  

The customer was supplied with a set of alternative solutions from the outset; including visual representations of each option and detailed explanations of the limitations and requirements of each.  We were also able to offer the customer a complete range of glazing alternatives to ensure the window provided the most suitable performance for the application. 

Through consultation, combined with expertise and understanding, we achieved an architecturally stunning interior space that exceeded the customer’s expectations in relation to visual appeal, thermal performance, and simplicity of design. ACOL Skylights was able to facilitate the realization of the customer’s dream because we always strive to achieve the best outcome in every scenario.
