Glazing Options

Standard glazing options for Wasco® Curb-Mount skylights include:

• High Performance eMAX3: An outer pane of tempered Low-E glass coated on the interior surface with three layers of silver and an inner pane of tempered glass. Argon gas fills the airspace.
• High Performance eMAX3 Laminated: An outer pane of tempered Low-E glass coated on the interior surface with three layers of silver and an inner pane of heat strengthened laminated glass. Argon gas fills the airspace.

Also available in:

• Hurricane-Resistant Low-E Insulating Glass
  Wasco® E-Class self-flashing skylights are available with high performance hurricane-resistant laminated glass, providing superior safety and security that meets Dade County, IBC/IRC and other stringent state building codes for skylights installed in Wind Zone 3 coastal applications.

Explanation Of Terms

VLT (Visible Light): Radiant energy from 380nm - 780nm wave-lengths.

(% Transmittance): percentage of visible light directly transmitted through glass.

U-Factor: air-to-air thermal conductance of glass and associated air/gas layers; units are Btu/hr.ft2 deg F.

SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient): fraction of solar energy transferred indoors both directly (radiation) and indirectly (convection/absorption/re-radiation) through the glass (for reference, 1/8" clear glass has a SHGC of 0.86).
