Choose the Right System for Your Project with Kingspan

Whatever the requirements of your project, Kingspan can work with you to identify the most suitable solution – whether it is a complex bespoke design or a straightforward off-the-shelf system.

Classic Dome Skylight

The Classic Dome Skylight is a versatile solution for increasing daylight levels within a building, featuring double- or triple-skinned polycarbonate glazing. Suitable for both new-build and refurbishment projects, it is available in a wide range of sizes, with various options and accessories to enhance functionality. The domes can also be fitted with opening bases and actuators for daily ventilation and/or smoke and heat exhaust, allowing a single roof unit to perform multiple functions.

Light Transmittance

The LK Classic Dome can achieve light transmittance levels of up to 87% with clear glazing and 36% with opal glazing, depending on the glazing specification. Please contact our technical team for further information.

Thermal Performance

The LK Classic Dome can achieve a Ut-value of up to 0.9 W/m²K, depending on the selected model. Please contact our technical team for further information.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient

The LK Classic Dome can achieve a solar heat gain coefficient (g-value) of 0.78 with clear double-skin glazing and 0.33 with opal triple-skin glazing. Please contact our technical team for further information.

Acoustic Performance

The glazing used in the LK Classic Dome can achieve an acoustic insulation rating (Rwp) of 22 dB. Please contact our technical team for further information.

Arcade Rooflight

The continuous modular design of the Arcade Rooflight makes it an ideal daylighting solution for industrial roofs and larger roof openings. It is available in a range of module lengths and glazing configurations. Thanks to its modular design, the Arcade Rooflight can be supplied in virtually unlimited lengths. In addition to providing daylight, it can also be configured for daily building ventilation or integrated smoke and heat exhaust systems.

Dimensions

The Arcade Rooflight is available in opening widths ranging from 1–6 m, depending on the selected glazing option. Due to its modular design, the overall system length is virtually unlimited.

Light Transmittance

The Arcade Rooflight can achieve light transmittance levels of up to 86%, depending on the selected glazing option. Please contact our technical team for further information.

Thermal Performance

The Arcade Rooflight can achieve a Ut-value between 1.1 and 2.9 W/m²K, depending on the selected glazing option. Please contact our technical team for further information.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (g-value)

The Arcade Rooflight can achieve a solar heat gain coefficient (g-value) ranging from 0.31 to 0.79, depending on the selected glazing option. Please contact our technical team for further information.

Acoustic Performance

The Arcade Rooflight can achieve an acoustic insulation rating (Rwp) between 19–30 dB. Please contact our technical team for further information.

LK Neo Plus Dome

The LK Neo Plus Dome has been designed to introduce high levels of daylight into a building while incorporating a more thermally efficient base, making it ideal for both new-build and refurbishment projects with enhanced energy-efficiency and thermal performance requirements. It can also be installed with an opening base and actuators for daily ventilation and/or smoke and heat exhaust, maximizing functionality from a single roof unit.

Light Transmittance

The LK Neo Plus Dome can achieve light transmittance levels of up to 60%, depending on the product configuration and selected glazing. Please contact our technical team for further information or refer to the product datasheet.

Thermal Performance

The LK Neo Plus Dome can achieve a Ut-value between 0.92 and 1.9 W/m²K, depending on the product configuration and selected glazing. Please contact our technical team for further information or refer to the product datasheet.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (g-value)

The LK Neo Plus Dome can achieve a solar heat gain coefficient (g-value) from 0.53, depending on the product configuration and selected glazing. Please contact our technical team for further information or refer to the product datasheet.

Acoustic Performance

The glazing used in the LK Neo Plus Dome can achieve an acoustic insulation rating (Rwp) of up to 24 dB, depending on the product configuration and selected glazing. Please contact our technical team for further information or refer to the product datasheet.
