Test Results: Which Skylight Dome Design Stands up to High Impact Projectiles

When it comes to selecting commercial skylights for a warehouse, durability against hail is an important feature. The last thing you want is rain coming in through the roof and repairs to schedule when the storm is over.

The new VELUX Dynamic Dome with LuxGuard polycarbonate glazing showed it can stand up to impacts, according to laboratory testing results. See how it performs in this video showing an impact cannon test in which a 2 by 4 board was shot at 40 miles/hour (60 feet/second) at the product.

The repeating pattern of ridges and ribs give the Dynamic Dome structural strength, and the product carries a 15-year warranty against hail breakage of polycarbonate glazing up to hail stones 2 inches in diameter.
