48" x 48" BA-UL-SKY Galvanized Steel Flat Panel Skylight
Property owners need reliable solutions that bring sunlight indoors while keeping buildings safe. However, it's hard to find sturdy, energy-efficient skylights that work well during emergencies. Some models aren't strong enough or lack important features, creating problems.
The 48" x 48" BA-UL-SKY Galvanized Steel Flat Panel Skylight fixes these issues with its smart design. It has a special UL-tested safety link that opens the skylight automatically during fires to let smoke escape.
The tough steel frame and polycarbonate panels let in plenty of sunlight while withstanding harsh weather, hail, and even tampering. This makes it perfect for any building where you want lots of natural light without sacrificing safety.
Why Should You Use the 48" x 48" BA-UL-SKY?
- Provides Automatic Emergency Ventilation: Built with a UL-listed heat link that melts at 165°F, the skylight opens to a 90-degree angle during fires. This feature allows smoke to escape and remains open even during power outages.
- Brings in Lots of Light: The BA-UL-SKY's flat design has clear, tough polycarbonate panels in an aluminum frame that lets in maximum sunlight. This natural light spreads evenly throughout the rooms and helps lower electric lighting costs.
- Offers Exceptional Durability: Made from strong 16-gauge galvanized steel with an aluminum frame, this skylight withstands tampering and rough weather. It won't dent or break easily, making it suitable for residential and commercial buildings.
- Saves on Energy Bills: The 13.5" raised edge has a 1" thick insulation board that minimizes unwanted heat exchange between indoors and outdoors throughout all seasons. This feature helps keep rooms comfortable year-round and lowers heating and cooling costs.
- Keeps Weather Out: Polyurethane foam gaskets seal the entire perimeter of the curb, keeping out rain, snow, dust, and debris. They prevent leaks and keep rooms clean and dry, even during heavy storms.
