Aluminium Skylight Windows

Aluminium Skylight Windows – Bring the Sky Inside

Aluminium skylight windows are one of the most transformative architectural additions available to any building. By introducing natural daylight from above rather than from the side, skylights fundamentally change how interior spaces feel — creating brighter, airier, more welcoming rooms that consume less artificial lighting and feel more connected to the natural environment. SKATE's aluminium skylight windows are engineered with heavy-duty profile sections, integrated drainage channels, laminated safety glass, and manual or electric operation — delivering a skylight system that performs reliably across diverse climates, from hot arid regions to cold alpine environments and high-rainfall coastal locations.

Design & Structural Engineering

Unlike vertical window applications, aluminium skylight windows must contend with the additional structural challenge of supporting their own glazing weight against gravity, managing water accumulation on a horizontal or low-pitch surface, and resisting the uplift forces generated by wind travelling across a roof plane. SKATE addresses these challenges through:

- Heavy-duty 6063-T5 profiles with 2.0 mm and 2.5 mm wall thicknesses — significantly stronger than standard window profiles - Continuous peripheral glazing tape and dual EPDM gasket sealing to prevent water ingress at all glass perimeter points - Integrated aluminium drainage channels within the frame that actively direct condensate and any incidental water away from the interior - A thermally-broken sill with concealed drainage to the exterior, preventing pooling and structural moisture damage - Structural calculations for glass panel size and frame deflection, carried out to international standards
