VTECH Industries is pleased to announce their skylight as the first and only TDI approved skylight in the industry for use in the designated catastrophe areas along the Texas and Florida Gulf Coasts. The 4×4 CMC Skylights are created by utilizing the innovative, patented Reaction Injection Molding process. The RIM process is similar to traditional injection molding, except that a chemical reaction occurs under low pressure within the mold. A single-piece system is created by fusing the aliphatic polyurethane directly to the lighting surface. A continuous, high-performance bond is formed, eliminating the chances of failure due to improper installation, weathering or large hail.

Founded in 2001, VTECH Industries has been leading the industry in meeting expanding building codes requiring roofing materials that meet high wind loads, protect against hail and resist wind driven rain. From Miami-Dade Hurricane Approval, to TDI and AAMA Gold Certification, VTECH Skylights are your best line of defense from the worst mother nature can throw your way.

VTECH Industries was recently awarded the prestigious and rarely recognized AAMA Gold Label Certification for its skylights by the nation’s leading independent testing organization – The American Architectural Manufacturers Association. Founded in 2002, VTECH is a leading innovator in the skylight industry, offering a product that surpasses all certification codes and sets new standards for performance in the industry. By creating a whole new category of cost-effective, smart skylights, VTECH has raised the industry bar for enabling indoor natural light.

“There is NO equal to our product and I invite anyone to challenge that statement,” said Art Valentz, President of VTECH. “We’re extremely proud to receive the AAMA Gold Label Certification – it’s a significant honor and a validation of our efforts in creating a solid-state skylight like no other in existence.”

The AAMA Certification Program is the only program in the window and door industry that requires that components used in the finished window, door and skylight assembly pass their own set of performance tests by the nation’s leading independent testing organizations. The Gold Certification is AAMA’s highest level of testing with windows, doors and skylights being tested for thermal performance, as well as air, water and structural integrity. The standard AAMA silver label only requires thermal testing.

VTECH Industries manufacturing headquarters utilizes an ATI-certified lab site that enables us to perform thorough, in-ho.use structural and thermal testing. An AAMA gold label certifies that the units assembled on the production lines are using the same process and components as the unit that was tested. Only the AAMA Gold Label indicates that:

•     The product underwent testing based on the stringent requirements of the ANSI/AAMA/ NWWDA101/I.S.2 and AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-05 industry standards.

•     Certification to AAMA 506 conforms to requirements of ASTM E 1886 & 1996.

•     These tests were performed at an independent AAMA-accredited testing laboratory.

•     An Independent (third-party) Validator through two unannounced plant inspections each year has continuously monitored the product production for compliance.

•     The product is the only skylight in the market to be have been tested successfully and receive certification per the requirements of the AAMA 313-10 material standard and AAMA 113-11 procedural guide standard.

VTECH Industries has consistently invested in research and development to provide advanced manufacturing design and technologies that deliver the world’s strongest skylights at a cost-effective price.

VTECH Industries, founded in Houston, Texas in 2002, is an innovative research and manufacturing firm. State-of-the-art VTECH Skylights are characterized by high-performance materials, high-impact strength, no maintenance and are built to last. By fusing polyurethane directly to the encapsulated lighting surface, a continuous bond is generated eliminating the need for a gasket, and creating a single, bonded unit that will not fail due to improper installation, weathering or lack of compression. Delivering leak-proof skylights is an industry first, and VTECH delivers them at a cost-effective price to an industry sorely in need of change.

Applying innovative engineering in Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) processing, combined with a patented aliphatic polyurethane material, the VTECH System of encapsulation with the polyurethane ensures a watertight seal. This new, patented process allows both glass and acrylic to bond directly with the frame, eliminating any possible water infiltration and exceeds all ICC and Dade County code requirements.

Dayliter Skylights has manufactured and distributed product to the residential and commercial skylight market since 1979, and has a well respected representation network throughout North America and the United Kingdom. Dayliter arranged an exclusive distribution agreement to distribute VTECH Skylights to springboard VTECH into the market at just the right time. “The market is primed for the next generation of Skylights, and VTECH is unequaled in performance and features” says Peter Corr, VP of Sales & Marketing for Dayliter Skylights. Dayliter President, Ken Boyce sees this partnership as “an exciting time in the world of skylights” and looks forward to adding VTECH to their skylight distribution network. Dayliter has distribution facilities in Ft. Wayne Indiana, Kitchener Ontario and Langley British Columbia, Canada, and plans to stock inventory in several key locations throughout the country to ensure rapid delivery to its valued customers. Dayliter will launch VTECH Skylights at the ROOFTech 2011 Tradeshow, April 12-13 (Booth 1107), in Montreal Canada. This flagship event of the Canadian Roofing Contractors Association will showcase Dayliter and VTech Skylights for the first time together.

To prove the technology far exceeds industry standards, VTECH Industries conducted extensive testing lasting more than six years. From the outset, the intent was to learn the skylight’s failure rate, before committing to a manufacturing and distribution system. The technology is such a radical, profound step outside the norm. Art Valentz, President of VTECH Industries, wanted to ensure the product would not fail. Results from testing not only showed that the skylights met and surpassed code, but also clearly set new standards.

“We wanted to find allies who shared the same forward-thinking vision of the technology.” said Valentz. “Our collaborative efforts greatly increased the potential of this new process.”

“There is NO equal to our product,” said Valentz. “I invite anyone to challenge that statement. We are surpassing all certification codes and setting new standards for performance in the industry.” For more information contact Peter Corr at 1.800 268 4068 or visit www.dayliter.com.
