VELUX Introduces Dynamic Dome Commercial Skylights

"The Dynamic Dome is engineered to reflect less light and to harvest more light," he says, "especially in the early morning and late afternoon.  The focus of the design is on maximizing low sun angle performance.  This can result in significantly reduced energy costs as electric lights can be turned off earlier in the day and will not have to be turned back on until later in the day."

The Dynamic Dome line joins the Venting Modular Skylight (VMS) line and the VELUX SUN TUNNEL tubular skylight line to provide an even broader product choice for commercial daylighting and ventilation needs.

Major features

A VELUX Dynamic Dome video highlights the major innovative features of the new skylights line which include:

• Light Harvesting – The sidewalls of the domes are engineered to closely match the angles of the sun during low-light periods of the morning and evening to harvest and transfer more light indoors. Dome height is optimized to harvest more light and is higher than traditional commercial skylights.
• Industry Leading Strength and Appearance – By integrating a repeating pattern of ridges and ribs based on the geometry of an octahedron, the Dynamic Domes offer uncompromising strength with visually stunning architectural design.
• Superior Water Management – A fail-safe proprietary wicking system evacuates condensation to the skylight exterior.
• Secure Thermal Seal – The domes incorporate an encapsulating design that provides an impenetrable water barrier with a 100 percent thermally broken skylight frame. 
• Competitive Market Pricing – VELUX invested heavily in new manufacturing equipment and procedures that create greater production efficiencies. Also, more skylights per truckload can be shipped due to the compact nesting nature of the domes, allowing for compounded savings in freight.
• Architectural Elegance – The Dynamic Dome is a patent-pending design. The design and appearance compliments the functionality of the domes and they will be easily recognized as distinctive, quality products. 

Standard and Custom Sizes/Configurations and Glazings

All common industry sizes are available and custom sizes can be manufactured in other dome types.  A broad variety of outer and inner dome configurations and glazing combinations are available.
