Introduction to Glass Skylight F100 Circular
The LAMILUX Glass Skylight F100 Circular is a round flat roof window featuring a plastic frame. It is designed to provide optimal energy efficiency, comfort, and safety while offering a sleek and modern design for architectural applications.
Energy Efficiency
The Glass Skylight F100 Circular is available in double or triple insulating glazing options. The outer glazing is made of toughened safety glass (TSG), while the inner glazing is laminated safety glass (LSG), which can be fitted with a clear or matt-light film. This configuration achieves impressive Ug-values ranging from 1.1 to 0.6 W/m²K. The structure is completely free of thermal bridges, ensuring a Uw-value between 1.1 and 0.76 W/m²K, depending on the glazing type (as per EN ISO 10077-1). The thermally insulated, jointless GRP upstand comes in heights of 70cm, 50cm, or 30cm, with U-values ≥ 0.68 W/m²K. The skylight features outstanding air-tightness thanks to a new balloon double sealing system, achieving Performance Class 4 according to EN 12207 standards.
Thermal Protection and Energy Efficiency
The Glass Skylight F100 Circular is optimized for energy efficiency with isothermal lines that ensure consistent thermal insulation zones without weak spots, demonstrating superior thermal protection throughout the structure. This feature supports optimum energy efficiency and helps maintain a comfortable indoor climate.
Total Insulated Product (TIP)
This skylight offers complete thermal protection in a single compact unit that is free of thermal bridges. The Uw-value ranges from 1.3 to 1.0 W/m²K for a reference element with a diameter of Ø 120cm, depending on the chosen glazing type, and is calculated according to EN ISO 10077-1 standards.
Comfort, Design, and Safety
Innovative Design Features
- Award-Winning Design: The Glass Skylight F100 Circular features chain drives invisibly integrated into the upstand, awarded the German Design Award 2020.
- Self-Cleaning Effect: Optional 5° inclined upstands enhance self-cleaning capabilities.
- Flat Drainage Surface: The newly designed frame profile ensures smooth water drainage, preventing obstruction and allowing rainwater to flow freely.
Enhanced Daylight and Visibility
- Scratch-Resistant Glazing: Provides a permanently clear view and generous daylight incidence, ensuring a bright interior.
- White, Silk-Matt Appearance: The interior finish eliminates the need for additional drywall construction, maintaining a sleek and modern aesthetic.
Stability and Safety
- High Load-Bearing Capacity: Optimized profiles ensure very high load-bearing capacity, approved for fall-through protection under wind and snow loads.
- UV-Resistant: The skylight’s edge bond is UV-resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Certified Safety: Approved by the German Institute for Structural Engineering (DIBt) in Berlin as the first building-approved glass skylight in Structural Glazing design.
- Condensation Resistance: Thermally decoupled edge bond prevents condensation between glass panels, unlike traditional plastic domes.
- Safety and SHEV System: Can be used as a Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation (SHEV) system in staircases.
Conclusion
The LAMILUX Glass Skylight F100 Circular combines advanced technology with innovative design to offer optimal energy efficiency, comfort, and safety. With its high-performance glazing, innovative design features, and certified safety standards, this skylight is a reliable choice for architects and building professionals looking to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functional performance of their projects.
