• This is the most common glass our clients use for curb mount skylights in the GTA area.

​

• Tempered Glass: The (05) glass is tempered over tempered glass, providing increased strength and safety. Tempered glass is heat-treated to be stronger than regular glass and, if broken, shatters into small, less harmful pieces.

  ​

• Energy Efficiency: VELUX skylights equipped with (05) glass feature a low-emissivity (Low-E) coating that reflects heat back into the home during the winter and blocks heat from entering during the summer. This contributes to maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature year-round.

  ​​

• Sound Insulation: This glass option provides enhanced sound insulation, reducing unwanted outside noise by up to 25% more than standard double-pane glass, and up to 50% more than plastic skylights.

  ​

• Safety: VELUX recommends laminated glass for out-of-reach applications due to its safety features. While tempered glass is strong, laminated glass offers additional safety benefits, especially in areas that are difficult to access.

  ​

​

• This glass is standard for all deck mount skylights in the GTA.

​

• Glass Composition: The (04) glass consists of an exterior tempered safety glass pane, a laminated interior pane, and a Low-E (Low Emissivity) coating. This configuration enhances safety and energy efficiency.

​

• Safety: The laminated interior pane provides added safety, making it suitable for out-of-reach applications. This design meets building codes that require laminated glass for such installations.

​

• Energy Efficiency: The Low-E coating and argon gas injection contribute to high energy efficiency, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs.

  ​

• UV Protection: The (04) glass offers protection against harmful UV rays, helping to preserve the interior of your home and prevent fading of furniture and flooring.

  ​

• Sound Insulation: This glass option provides enhanced sound insulation, reducing unwanted outside noise by up to 25% more than standard double-pane glass, and up to 50% more than plastic skylights.

​​​​​

• Enhanced Insulation: The triple Low-E coating and argon gas fill contribute to a low U-factor, indicating excellent thermal insulation. This helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduces energy costs.

  ​

• UV Protection: The glass offers 99.9% protection against harmful UV rays, helping to preserve the interior of your home and prevent fading of furniture and flooring.

  ​

• Visible Light Transmittance: The Energy i89 glass allows ample natural light into your home, enhancing indoor brightness and reducing the need for artificial lighting.

  ​

• Energy Star Certification: Skylights equipped with Energy i89 glass are Energy Star certified across Canada, meeting stringent energy efficiency standards.

​

• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Triple-pane laminated glass offers superior thermal insulation, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs. This configuration is particularly beneficial in regions with extreme temperatures.

​

• Safety and Durability: The laminated inner pane enhances safety by holding the glass together in the event of breakage, reducing the risk of injury. This feature is especially important for out-of-reach applications.

  ​

• Noise Reduction: The combination of multiple glass layers and laminated construction effectively reduces unwanted outside noise, creating a quieter indoor environment.

  ​

• UV Protection: The glass configuration provides protection against harmful UV rays, helping to preserve the interior of your home and prevent fading of furniture and flooring.
