The skylights work in tandem with an automated lighting system that dims the lights as more sunlight comes through the skylights.
The benefits of Dynamic Dome Skylights
Light Harvesting
The sidewall of the VELUX Dynamic Dome has been engineered to closely match the angles of the sun during low-light periods (morning and evening) in order to harvest more sunlight to transfer indoors. The Dynamic Dome is also taller (30 percent of the total width of the skylight), which optimizes it for increased light transmittance. In addition, our innovative clear-smoothouter- dome over white-prismatic-inner- dome design provides 100 percent diffusion while also delivering up to 20 percent more light than our competitor’s designs.
Industry Leading Strength
By integrating a repeating pattern of ridges and ribs based on the geometry of an octahedron, the VELUX Dynamic Dome offers uncompromising strength within a visually stunning architectural design. Our glazing is also engineered from the finest thermoplastic material, making it the industry’s most robust combination of low-weight and high strength.
Competitive Market Pricing
To cut costs, VELUX utilizes a high volume manufacturing process. We are also able to ship more skylights per truckload (allowing for compounded savings in freight) due to the compact nesting nature of the VELUX Dynamic Dome. Costs associated with curb tape and silicone are also eliminated due to our dry installation method.
Unmatched Architectural Elegance
Without question, no other commercial skylight on the market can match the unique design and architectural elegance of the VELUX Dynamic Dome.
Superior Water Management
Unlike most commercial skylights that allow condensation to collect within an interior gutter, the VELUX Dynamic Dome utilizes a fail-safe proprietary wicking system that evacuates condensation to the exterior of the skylight. We’ve also incorporated a one-piece inner frame, creating superior durability (eliminating the need for corner welds that can leak) and 50-year silicone.
Secure Thermal Seal
The VELUX Dynamic Dome incorporates an encapsulating design that provides an impenetrable water barrier with a 100 percent thermally broken skylight frame, thereby isolating interior surfaces from exterior temperatures. This ‘warm design’ virtually eliminates condensation while also providing a secure weather seal to the curb to impede air, water, and bug infiltration.Watch the video to see several employees speak about the advantages of working in a space filled with VELUX Dynamic Domes.
