Bristolite Daylighting Systems brings more than fourty-six years of experience to
monumental skylights and glazing techniques, along with an outstanding reputation for
quality and integrity. Our Engineering and Product Design Department operates with the
most up-to-date equipment in the industry, including Computer Aided Design (CAD) work
stations and competent, experienced personnel. This enables us to provide all needed
services in-house, from consultation and concept through manufacturing and installation.
Our many years of experience mean that we can assist you in every phase of your
project. We will help you choose the design that will best fit your application, select the
proper materials, conduct energy and daylighting performance studies, and do complete
structural and engineering analysis.
Continuing the tradition of quality and innovation, Bristolite Daylighting Systems offers
multiple structural systems to satisfy customer requirements. Our Skypro System can
be used for most custom applications. The Natural Systems incorporate current glazing
technologies in standard vault and ridge type designs. In further response to the building
industry’s increasing requirement for speed and lower cost, we have developed our
SkyQuick system. Designed primarily for smaller applications this system optimizes the
benefits of structural aluminum, minimizes production time, and utilizes only top quality
materials that are used in our other systems.
All of our structural skylight designs feature custom extruded members of architectural
grade aluminum alloys.
Bristolite’s Skylight Design Manual includes structural load charts, available designs
and details, specifications, and glazing information and is available to qualified design
professionals. Please contact our Sales Department to request a copy.
Bristolite’s glazing system is the result of many years of design experience, and
incorporates state-of-the-art technology. In addition to Architectural grade aluminum
Bristolite uses only the finest quality silicone glazing blocks, stainless steel fasteners and
other premium glazing materials per your specifications.
Please contact our sales experts with your next skylight project. Depending on your
project requirements you may also wish to request literature and information on our
SkyQuick custom units which are designed to ship pre-assembled and pre-glazed.
