Last year, VELUX acquired Wasco Products, Inc., a skylight company based in Maine. While this significantly broadened our commercial daylighting capabilities, it also expanded our line of residential skylights to include the award-winning Architectural Series.
The Architectural Series is a line of fully customizable, lightweight metal-framed structural skylights. Available in an extensive variety of configurations, finish colors, and glazing options, there's no limit to what you can create!
Pyramid Systems
The versatile pyramid systems of the Architectural Series include the Square, Octagonal, and Extended Pyramids.
Square Pyramid
For a classic, completely customizable look, the Square Pyramid offers brilliant sky views and ample daylighting. The metal-framed Square Pyramid can span up to 40' by 40' and comes standard with laminated glass. Hurricane glazing is also available to ensure your skylight stands strong in Wind Zone 3 coastal applications.
Octagonal Pyramid
While it's called the Octagonal Pyramid, this skylight can as few as five sides or as many sides as can be supported by your roof. Talk about completely customizable! This metal-framed pyramid also spans up to 40' wide and comes in a wide range of high-performance glass and finish options.
Extended Pyramid
Elongate your light source with the Extended Pyramid, the third metal-framed skylight structure to make up the Architectural Series Pyramids. These pyramids are also completely customizable and able to span up to 40' wide. Laminated glass is standard, but Hurricane glazing and other Advanced Glazings are available to meet your project's needs.
Pitched Roof Applications
Moving right along, the dramatic pitched roof applications of the Architectural Series include the Low Profile, Structural Ridge, Double Pitch, and Single Pitch systems.
Low Profile
Developed for pitched roofs, the Low Profile System is an aluminum-framed glass skylight that lays over your roof rafters to create a narrow line frame and a clean, appealing look. Although the picture just has two panels, this system is able to accommodate multiple insulated glass panels so you can open your ceiling up to as much sky as you want.
Structural Ridge
Spanning up to 40' wide, the Structural Ridge System is a metal-framed skylight structure that offers unlimited design possibilities. Sitting along the ridge of your roof, the Structural Ridge is available in a wide variety of high-performance glass and finish options.
Double Pitch
Create an entire ceiling of light with the Double Pitch System. Virtually unlimited design possibilities are available with these metal-framed skylight structures that span up to 40' wide with unlimited lengths. Like the others in the Architectural Series, the Double Pitch is available in a wide variety of high-performance glass and finish options so you'll get just the right look for your home.
Single Pitch
A one-sided alternative to the Double Pitch, the Single Pitch System is a metal-framed skylight structure that supports spans up to 22' wide. The Single Pitch can lay flat across your roof or at an angle. It comes standard with Mill finished aluminum and laminated glass, but other high-performance designer color finishes and glazing options are available as well.
