Description
54" x 60" Galvanized Steel Flat Panel Skylight
Property owners need reliable solutions that bring sunlight indoors while keeping buildings safe. But finding a skylight that checks all the boxes—durability, energy efficiency, and emergency readiness—can be challenging. Many models fall short, lacking the strength to hold up in harsh conditions or the features needed during critical moments.
The 54" x 60" BA-UL-SKY Galvanized Steel Flat Panel Skylight changes that with a smarter, more secure design. Equipped with a UL-tested fusible link, this skylight opens automatically during fires to release smoke, improving efficiency without needing power or manual effort.
Its rugged 16-gauge galvanized steel frame and durable polycarbonate panels offer a tough, weather-resistant build that can handle hail, strong winds, and tampering. All while letting in plenty of natural light to reduce reliance on electric lighting.
Why Choose the 54" x 60" BA-UL-SKY Skylight?
- Provides Reliable Emergency Ventilation: The BA-UL-SKY uses a UL-listed heat link that activates at 165°F, opening the skylight to a full 90 degrees to vent smoke—no electricity needed.
- Delivers Natural Daylighting: A flat design with clear polycarbonate panels allows sunlight to stream, brightening interiors and lowering lighting costs.
- Offers Long-Lasting Durability: The steel frame and reinforced construction give the skylight the strength to resist weather, wear, and tampering in residential and commercial settings.
- Improves Energy Efficiency: Its raised curb and 1" thick fiberboard insulation help the skylight maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling expenses.
- Performs in All Weather Conditions: Protecting interiors from wind, water, and debris—even during extreme conditions, the BA-UL-SKY has polyurethane foam gaskets tightly around the curb.
