VTECH Skylights offer superior performance in many ways. Whether you’re a homeowner or building owner, it’s natural to seek building products and materials that set the standards for energy efficiency, beauty, and overall quality of design. VTECH Skylights are those products. Knowing what makes VTECH Skylights special can help you decide whether our products are right for your home or commercial building.
Arguably, the largest, most important surface in your skylight is the glass. It is the glass through which you can see the world, the glass that gives your skylights purpose and meaning. Without glass, there would be no skylights.
Glass can also be a weakness. It is through the glass that energy is lost and gained, and it is the glass that can be easily broken in a storm. …That is, this is the problem with some types of glass, and some types of skylights. VTECH Skylights are made with innovative, state of the art Cardinal LOE-366 glass, for superior quality and durability.
Some say that Cardinal LoE-366 glass is the ultimate performance glass. If it’s energy efficiency and year-round comfort you seek, you can do no better than Cardinal LoE-366 glass.
-20º F Outside | +20º F Outside | |
Clear single-pane room-side temperature | 0º | 31º |
Clear double-pane room-side temperature | 37º | 51º |
Ordinary Low-E room-side temperature | 47º | 58º |
LoE-366 room-side temperature | 52º | 61º |
The type of glass used in your skylights speaks to the quality of construction and to the experience that you’ll have in your building or home. The better quality the glass, the easier temperature regulation becomes. This improves comfort in your house or building. Good quality skylights reduce the burden on your HVAC system, which ultimately can reduce the money that you spend on home or building maintenance.
Do you have old skylights in your home or commercial building? Have you ever noticed temperature fluctuations in that room or space? Does the room heat up when the sun is up, then cool off when the sun goes down? Ultimately, the glass in your skylights is contributing to these fluctuations.
