Dynamic Dome commercial skylights balance light transmittance and industry structural demands while reducing lighting costs.
The Dynamic Dome line joins the Venting Modular Skylight (VMS) line and the VELUX SUN TUNNEL tubular skylight line to provide a broad product choice for commercial daylighting and ventilation needs.
Major features
A VELUX Dynamic Dome video highlights the features of the skylights line which are:
- Light Harvesting – The sidewalls of the domes are engineered to closely match the angles of the sun during low-light periods of the morning and evening to harvest and transfer light indoors. Dome height is also configured to harvest light.
- Strength and Appearance – By integrating a repeating pattern of ridges and ribs based on the geometry of an octahedron, the Dynamic Domes offer strength with an architectural design.
- Water Management – A wicking system evacuates condensation to the skylight exterior.
- Thermal Seal – The domes incorporate an encapsulating design that provides a water barrier with a thermally broken skylight frame.
- Market Pricing – VELUX invested in manufacturing equipment and procedures that create production efficiencies. Also, more skylights per truckload can be shipped due to the nesting nature of the domes, allowing for savings in freight.
- Design – The Dynamic Dome is a patent-pending design. The design compliments the functionality of the domes.
Standard and Custom Sizes/Configurations and Glazings
All common industry sizes are available and custom sizes can be manufactured in other dome types. A variety of outer and inner dome configurations and glazing combinations are available.
