fl.l.fl. Industries Skylight Systems, combined with high performance glazing materials, offer unlimited
elk options for cost effective, high quality, creative skylighting for all types of buildings.
Aluminum Systems-A.IA.Industries'aluminum skylight systems utilize extruded aluminum members with integral condensate gutters,gasket
pockets,concealed dips and fasteners whenever possible,or welded connections.This offers a clean appearance which structurally meets the required design
loads and deflection criteria of each project.
All systems are designed to prevent air and moisture infiltration,utilizing gutter systems to channel any moisture to the exterior of the structure.

applied to aluminum,wood,or steel structures provided by supporting, utilizing extruded aluminum shapes to support
the contractor. the required loads of the entire skylight.
Frame Finishes-The standard aluminum finish is dark bronze or clear anodize,but A.I.A. Industries also offers a full array of colors utilizing the
latest powder coating techniques,enamel,Kynar®,or mill finish aluminum.The exterior may also be clad with copper or other metals to match the
surrounding roof or flashing materials.This wide range offers the design freedom to match any color with a durable,reliable,long lasting weather
resistant finish.
Glazing Materials-The ultimate success of a skylight installation depends on the selection and use of:the proper glazing material and is one of the
most important and far reaching decisions the architect and owner will make.This decision impacts the overall design,human comfort,energy
efficiency,mechanical H VAC design and loads,daylighting,interior condensation control,ultra-violet fading,plant growth,and sound control.
A.I.A.Industries offers glass,acrylic,polycarbonate,or translucent panel glazing options which will meet the design and performance criteria.The
selection of the proper glazing material is critical to the performance and beauty of each skylight and should be evaluated taking into account"U"values,
relative heat gain,shading coefficient,light and solar energy transmittance,ultra-violet protection,design loads as well as compliance with safety and
building codes,while offering the aesthetics to enhance the building design.
