Acrylic Skylights

Author: Eldad
Category: California: Los Angeles
Acrylic is a synthetic polymer made of ~85% acrylonitrile. As a plastic, it weighs about half that of glass, and is impact resistant. Acrylic skylights, although more durable than other roof skylights, have several disadvantages that you should be wary of before deciding on Acrylic skylights in your home or office space. Firstly, acrylic skylights can be bought in clear plastic form yet will always appear more wavy than clear glass. Secondly, acrylic skylights need to expand and contract, which can wear out the gaskets that hold the acrylic skylight in place. Thirdly, poor quality or thin acrylic skylights can become brittle over time, and even yellow. Fourthly, acrylic skylights cannot hold the same weight as glass forms of roof skylights, which could make them dangerous when walking or working on your roof. And finally, acrylic skylights are not the best material for blocking out noise. However, in certain cases the acrylic skylight may well be most suited to your roof and building.
