Imagine letting soft, diffuse light fill interior spaces. Think of how happy your building’s occupants will be when they’re protected from hot-spots that make them feel uncomfortable or glare that limits their use of computers, cell phones and other personal devices. Guardian 275® skylights and canopies provide built-in sun control, eliminating many of the issues common with traditional glass systems. Their aluminum framing and sandwich panel construction also make them strong but lightweight, often reducing the need for additional support structure.

Guardian 275® systems feature advanced Ultimate Series™ face sheet technology for long-term dependability, and can be configured with thermal breaks as well as numerous insulation options for enhanced performance in more demanding climates. Guardian 275® panels are also available with a variety of sheet color options, and panel insulation can also be tinted to create a stained-glass look or to incorporate school or logo colors. Smaller sized single slope and pyramid skylights can also be partially assembled prior to shipping, allowing for faster installation.

Guardian 275® systems can be configured with a wide range of finish options, from clear anodize to custom match Kynar® colors that meet AAMA 2605 (click here for more information on finishes). For more information, contact our sales team at 888-759-2678 or sales@majorskylights.com .

As with our Guardian 275® wall systems, skylights and canopies are also available in our TransCURVE™ curved system configuration, which can also provide an eye-catching design element.
