Structural skylights must be designed to accommodate a variety of design preferences and building conditions. e-skylight.com features Architectural Skylight's System 2000, a unique skylight design which allows you to adapt to these variables without having to sacrifice aesthetics or add cost. The System 2000's use of hinged components allows it to easily accommodate multiple skylight slopes or field conditions.

The System 2000's design also features an integral cross-draining condensation control system that eliminates the collection of moisture inside the skylight through the use of strategically positioned, in-line weep holes. e-skylight.com skylights offer unparalleled performance by preventing air infiltration and water penetration at test pressures far above industry standards. Thermal properties are improved through the use of insulated sills & hip rafters. The addition of insulated glass units and a choice of Low-E coatings will further enhance your skylight's energy savings potential.

To avoid the potential weakening of aluminum at critical structural connections caused by welding, the System 2000 instead utilizes bolted fasteners at all structural connections. Not only is structural integrity ensured, but fabrication and erection can also be accomplished more quickly and easily. In addition, all fasteners are made from stainless steel to eliminate any potential corrosion and discoloring resulting from years of exposure to harsh outdoor environments.
