Kingspan Light + Air Launches New KlearSky Metal Framed Glass Skylights

Kingspan Light + Air Launches New KlearSky Metal Framed Glass Skylights.jpg
October 4, 2023

Kingspan Light + Air, a division of Kingspan Group PLC, and a leader in daylighting, ventilation and smoke management solutions for the sustainable built environment, announces a new addition to its lineup of industry-leading daylighting solutions. The company’s new KlearSky™ metal framed glass skylights are set to revolutionize the way architects integrate natural daylight into buildings to create stunning visual aesthetics while still achieving high levels of building performance.  

KlearSky metal framed glass skylights offer a wide range of options to suit diverse architectural needs. These options include standard configurations like pyramids, polygons, segmented barrel vaults, single slopes (which can span up to 22 feet) and ridges (which can span up to 40 feet), in addition to fully customizable shapes for complete freedom of design. A varied array of UV-stable (non-yellowing) glass glazing options are also available to meet the most stringent energy code performance requirements, including high-performance insulating glass and laminated glass. 

Architects can further enhance their designs by choosing from an extensive range of frame finish options, including powder coat, anodized finishes or fluoropolymer paint, offered in both standard and custom colors. Builders will benefit from the quick and easy installation process facilitated by KlearSky's QuickLink™ technology, which requires 75% fewer fasteners. 

"We have over 30 years of experience manufacturing metal framed skylight systems. In fact, our roots run deep in the industry,” says Tom Larwa, vice president of customer experience for Kingspan Light + Air North America. “Through the strategic acquisition of Bristolite, CPI Daylighting and Major Industries, Inc., esteemed manufacturers of glass skylight systems, we found inspiration that propelled us to create KlearSky and redefine the possibilities of metal framed glass skylights.” 

Leveraging its nationwide footprint, Kingspan Light + Air manufactures and ships KlearSky metal framed skylights from three manufacturing locations across the country, providing a consistent product and efficient delivery regardless of the project's location. To ensure optimal performance, the skylights have undergone rigorous testing and boast exceptional water infiltration performance, testing at 15 psf, surpassing North American industry standards. An industry-leading 10-year material warranty and a two-year labor warranty are also offered, guaranteeing long-term protection and peace of mind.  

In addition to versatility, durability and accessibility, Kingspan Light + Air has also prioritized sustainability in the design, manufacturing process and supply chain of the new product. KlearSky metal framed glass skylights primarily consist of glass and aluminum, both of which utilize pre-consumer recycled content and are post-consumer recyclable. In line with Kingspan’s 10-year Planet Passionate sustainability program and 2030 goal of reducing the carbon intensity of key raw materials by 50%, Kingspan Light + Air is also actively incorporating recycled materials into the production of various components.
