Health, Energy, and Design Benefits of Walkable Skylights

Not only are walkable skylights a great, innovative and unique way to spruce up the design of your facility, but did you know they have also been shown to have significant health and energy-saving benefits as well?

Keep reading to learn more about walkable skylights and the benefits of these installations.

Health Benefits

Skylights have been used in building design for centuries as a way to extend the reach of sunlight. When installed in a large opening on a roof, a skylight helps light facilities maximize natural daylight. In fact, a skylight allows in up to 5 times more natural light than a regular window.

What does this mean for your or your occupants’ health? Natural light is shown to have numerous health benefits for the human body. Not only does it help people be happier, healthier, and calmer, but it also is shown to significantly increase productivity levels.

Energy and Cash Savings

Skylights significantly increase the amount of natural light that is able to penetrate throughout your facility. In comparison to incandescent light, sunlight through a 14” skylight is equivalent to a 461 watts electric light bulk. Even on a cloudy day, a skylight would give no less than 100 watts of equivalent sunlight energy.

The addition of a skylight as a light source would minimize your facility’s use of natural electrical lights. Not only is this environmentally friendly, but it will also help you save on utility bills.

Design Benefits

Beyond health and energy benefits, a walkable skylight provides a unique and innovative design element to your facility. With the addition of a walkable skylight, your building is immediately transformed into a sleek and modern facility.

At Greenlite Glass, we provide all the materials you need to customize your walkable skylight to your design needs and preferences. Our glass materials are created to meet any structural or aesthetic need, giving you your choice of texture, screenprint patterns, and colour.

Are you looking for a unique and innovative way to upgrade the design of your facility? With a walkable skylight, your building is given a sleek and modern design while also providing numerous health and energy-saving benefits.

No matter what industry you’re in, your employees’ safety should always come first. At Greenlite, we want to help your facility keep fire, flames, and smoke out in case of emergencies; to do so, our consultants recommend implementing fire-rated curtain walls in your facility. Constructed with durable materials such as fire-rated steel and/or glass, these walls step in as a firestop when necessary, slowing and preventing the passage of flames within the building.

With its tremendous capacity to protect and shield, we believe that all facilities should consider making the investment. As a reputable and knowledgeable fire-rated curtain wall supplier, we want to help business owners understand the benefits associated with it. To discover how fire-rated curtain walls will prove advantageous to your facility, keep reading:

Seamlessly Helps You Divide The Workspace

In comparison to permanent walls, fire-rated curtain walls are a more economical way to create different work enclosures within a large facility. Not only do they allow for fire resistance and design flexibility, but these curtain walls also allow facilities to keep dust, debris, and noise contained within their designated areas. Depending on what industry your facility is in, this is a very important factor to keep in mind when ensuring the safety of your employees and/or occupants.

At Greenlite, our experienced consultants suggest implementing VDS curtain walls to help you seamlessly divide your workplace. With streamlined aesthetic, clean lines, and tight tolerances, the VDS curtain walls will provide your facility with a high degree of design flexibility, aesthetic appeal and security.

Energy Efficient

When implemented correctly, fire rated curtain walls provide an aesthetically pleasing, modern finish to facilities while simultaneously delivering noteworthy thermal performance. Working to not only resist heat and flames, fire rated curtains help facilities keep excess air, wind and unwanted moisture out, while keeping occupants in.

Fire rated curtain walls also allow for more natural light to filtrate into the building, helping to reduce overall operational costs. With an increased supply of natural light and exceptional thermal performance, facilities will gain control over their energy consumption and notice a significant improvement in cost overtime.

Ensure Safety Of Your Occupants

In case of an emergency, fire rated curtain walls act as a firestop to contain and prevent flames and smoke from spreading within your facility. Protect and ensure the safety of your occupants by investing in fire rated curtains like the VDS Curtain Wall. Stringently tested to help your facility meet its building’s fire safety standards and protect its occupants, the VDS curtain wall has been listed, labelled, and approved by the Underwriters Laboratories ® and Underwriters Laboratories of Canada. Boasting fire ratings from 60 to 120 minutes in both interior and exterior openings, VDS Curtain Walls are the preferred fire-resistive and fire-protective framing solution facilities use today.

Looking to purchase fire rated curtain walls for your facility? Greenlite Glass Systems is a leading consultant in the North American architectural glass industry and is a proud distributor of VDS Curtain Walls.

Are you looking for a modern solution for privacy or an alternative to blinds or curtains in your business space? PRIVA-LITE glass is an ideal solution for a variety of situations, providing opaque to transparent glass on-demand in commercial buildings and properties.

 

As a global leader in glass systems, Greenlite Glass Systems is your best choice for PRIVA-LITE glass suppliers. Keep reading to learn more about PRIVA-LITE and why it’s the ideal choice for your location.

What is PRIVA-LITE Glass?

PRIVA-LITE or privacy glass – also known as smart glass or intelligent glass – is a switchable glass used for adaptive partitioning in locations that require customized privacy. This modern system utilizes Liquid Crystal technology to provide instant privacy at the flick of a switch through electronically controlled translucency.

Liquid Crystal molecules, in their natural state, are scattered randomly which creates an opaque frosted effect to block vision and allow for full privacy while still letting light through. These liquid crystals align when electricity is applied, causing the glass to instantly turn transparent.

What are the Applications of PRIVA-LITE Glass?

PRIVA-LITE glass can be used almost anywhere you would use regular glass and is installed in a similar manner as well. PRIVA-LITE glass can also be incorporated into double glazing or fire-rated glazing; curved, silk-screened, or sandblasted; and used as either a front or rear projection screen with high resolution for superb image reproduction.

Moreover, switchable glass is ideal for a variety of applications where transparent to opaque glass is required. Privacy glass can be used both interiorly and exteriorly for a wide range of design and media uses on:

• • Floor panels and counters
  • Display cases and screens
  • Front or back projection screens/multimedia walls
  • Windows, single or double glazed facades
