The steps to specifying your custom SKYLIGHT
Determine the roof type glazing configuration
Glass is our recommendation for a sloped roof application. Acrylic (or polycarbonate) is typically used on a flat roof.
An acrylic or polycarbonate dome or pyramid can be mounted on a flat roof. A glass skylight can be installed on a flat roof with a site built sloped curb (Min 2:12 pitch).
Choose The Model
- Columbia offers custom sizing on all of its models.
- Glass – we can manufacturer to the maximum size available.
- Choice of any glass or acrylic glazing options on all custom sized models.
- The maximum size is noted below each model of skylight.
- An acrylic skylight can be manufactured to a larger size than glass.
- Pyramid skylights are only available with a square base (equal side measurements).
