Kingspan Light + Air: Continuous Vault Skylights for Commercial Spaces

Kingspan Light + Air Relaunches Continuous Vault Skylight Systems for Large-Scale Commercial Projects

(LAKE FOREST, Ill.) – Kingspan Light + Air (KLA), a global leader in daylighting and ventilation, has announced the relaunch of its Continuous Vault Skylight Systems. This custom-engineered structural solution is specifically designed to maximize natural light in expansive commercial and industrial environments.


Bridging the Gap in Commercial Daylighting

The Continuous Vault system serves as a versatile middle ground between standard unit skylights and fully bespoke, complex systems. It offers architects and contractors a flexible, high-performance option for large-scale facilities, including:

  • Warehouses and Distribution Centers
  • Manufacturing Plants
  • Large-Scale Retail Environments

By utilizing a vaulted design, the system captures and distributes sunlight more effectively throughout the day, significantly improving visual comfort for occupants while reducing energy costs associated with electric lighting.

Engineered for Performance and Durability

Built to withstand the elements, these systems feature durable extruded aluminum framing and high-quality acrylic glazing. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing for structural integrity, water penetration, and air infiltration to ensure long-term reliability.

Key Technical Features Include:

  • Enhanced Light Distribution: The vaulted shape optimizes natural light spread.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Framing is built for longevity in diverse climates.
  • Water Management: Integrated guttering ensures effective drainage.
  • Customization: Available in single or double-glazed acrylic (Clear, White, or Prismatic) with various framing finishes.
  • Peace of Mind: Backed by a comprehensive 10-year material and workmanship warranty.

Flexible Installation and Sustainability

To accommodate diverse architectural needs, the systems are available in widths ranging from 27 to 87 inches as preassembled units. For massive roof areas, larger systems up to 123 inches wide can be assembled on-site to create seamless, long-run daylighting.

Furthermore, KLA remains committed to sustainable domestic manufacturing. These systems are made in the USA using aluminum with at least 50% recycled content. They are designed to meet Buy America and Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements, making them an ideal choice for federally funded or domestic-priority construction projects.
