Great Energy Savings

In comparison to old, energy-guzzling incandescent light bulbs, walkable skylights like LITEFLAM offer incredible savings on energy bills for commercial facilities. Often installed in roof plazas and subterranean levels of buildings, walkable skylights make good use of otherwise forgotten spaces in facilities while simultaneously inviting natural light into the property.

Beyond its energy efficiency, LITEFLAM is also a cost-effective lighting solution that helps facilities like yours save on energy costs. As LITEFLAM often reduces and eliminates, the need to use artificial lighting during the day, facilities with skylights will notice a dramatic decrease in operational costs after making the switch.

Reduces Your Carbon Footprint

Help your commercial property go green this year when you implement LITEFLAM walkable skylights in your facility. Beyond simply granting you access to great savings on operational costs, walkable skylights can also help facilities like yours reduce their overall carbon footprint.

Thanks to LITEFLAM’s ability to capture and make good use of natural light, your facility will no longer be dependant on artificial light sources. In turn, this dramatically reduces the amount of energy your building consumes. When your business consumes less energy, it also creates less greenhouse gas emissions that impact climate change–a positive step towards protecting our environment.

Aesthetically Pleasing

On top of helping your facility reduce its carbon footprint, LITEFLAM walkable skylights also offer tremendous design flexibility to architects, developers and designers. Unlike artificial light sources that come in the same standard designs, LITEFLAM walkable skylights are highly customizable and can be tailored to meet your building or project’s existing aesthetic.

Featuring a slim profile of 3.5” in overall glass thickness, LITEFLAM can be customized with decorative colour frits and sand-blasted glass to add a splash of personality to your building.
