Daylighting Studies
Design Daylight Into the Building — Before You Build It
Effective commercial daylighting starts long before installation.
Powers Products works with architects and project teams to evaluate how natural light will perform within a building throughout the day and across changing seasons. Our daylighting studies help inform skylight placement, glazing selection and overall daylighting strategy early in design.
What is a daylighting study?
A daylighting study models how sunlight and natural daylight interact with a building, including anticipated light levels, sun angles and shadows.
How can a daylighting study help?
The analysis can help project teams evaluate skylight locations, glazing options and daylight distribution while considering visual comfort, energy performance and architectural intent.
What is the goal?
Better-informed daylighting decisions.
By evaluating daylight performance during design, Powers can help your team select and position commercial skylight systems that deliver useful natural light while supporting energy, sustainability and occupant-experience goals.

Aluminum-Framed structural Skylights
Custom Glass Skylights for Distinctive Architectural Spaces
When the skylight is part of the architecture, flexibility matters.
Skyline Sky-Lites manufactures custom-engineered aluminum-framed structural skylight systems for commercial and institutional buildings. Designed around the specific requirements of the project, these systems give architects considerable freedom in geometry, glazing, pitch, finish and overall configuration.
Structural skylight configurations can include pyramids, ridges, single slopes, polygons, segmented domes, vaulted systems, walkways, canopies and other custom forms.
Powers Products works alongside architects, contractors and owners to help move the skylight from architectural concept through detailing, coordination and installation.
Unit Skylights
Versatile, Cost-Effective Commercial Top-Lighting
For projects that need straightforward access to natural daylight, Skyline unit skylights provide a flexible and economical top-lighting solution.
Available in a range of shapes, sizes, frame configurations and glazing options, commercial unit skylights can be used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail environments, schools, recreation facilities and other commercial and institutional buildings.
Options include dome, flat-glass and pyramid configurations, along with standard or thermally broken aluminum framing to address project-specific performance requirements.
For both new construction and existing buildings, the Powers daylighting team can help determine the appropriate skylight configuration for the roof, space and performance goals.

Continous Skylights
Continuous Natural Daylight Across Large Spaces
Skyline continuous skylights make it possible to distribute natural daylight across long roof spans while creating a strong architectural feature overhead.
Continuous vault, ridge and other configurations are particularly well suited for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, gymnasiums, educational buildings, commercial spaces and other large-footprint applications where consistent top-lighting is desired.
Standardized configurations can provide an economical approach to large-scale commercial daylighting while custom sizing and glazing options allow the system to respond to the building’s architecture.
The result is more than a skylight. It is an opportunity to make natural daylight part of the experience of the space.
Commercial Skylight Expertise from Design Through Service
Choosing the skylight is only part of the equation.
Powers Products brings decades of commercial daylighting experience to every project. Our team works with architects, general contractors, roofing contractors and building owners to help coordinate skylight systems with the building envelope and overall project requirements.
