Skylights and polycarbonate
Skylights and polycarbonate
In large-scale projects – industrial, logistics, commercial, or public spaces – natural lighting and lightweight, durable, and energy-efficient materials play an essential role in the correct design and operation of buildings.
KADRA's approach
KADRA meets these requirements with two types of complementary yet distinct solutions, each contributing to the functionality, efficiency, and aesthetics of large-scale constructions, customized according to the specifics of the project:

Polycarbonate
Sealed Modular Systems
Allowing quick installation, resistance to infiltration, and high durability.
Cellular, Compact, Corrugated, or Modular Coupling Variants
Adaptable according to project needs, without complicating the technical selection process.
Service and Maintenance
Skylights and polycarbonate surfaces are permanently exposed to sun, rain, snow, wind, and hail. Even without moving parts, gaskets age, fixings can loosen, and buildup of dust and leaves reduces the amount of light reaching the interior. Periodic maintenance prevents infiltration and maintains the performance they were chosen for.
Inspections check the seals and joint profiles, fixing systems, panel condition (cracks, deformations, or impact marks), and water drainage on the roof. Cleaning is done with products compatible with polycarbonate, to avoid affecting the UV protective layer. For opening skylights and those with smoke vents, the operating mechanisms, actuators, and watertight closing are additionally tested after each cycle.
In industrial halls, logistics centers, or public buildings with large roof surfaces, an untreated infiltration can affect goods, equipment, or the building’s insulation. A consistent service and maintenance program, supplemented by inspections after storms or hail, extends the lifespan of skylights and panels.

Frequently asked questions
What type of skylight is recommended for an industrial hall?
The choice of skylight depends on the building’s surface area, natural light requirements, roof type, and ventilation or smoke exhaust requirements. Polycarbonate skylights are frequently used for industrial halls and logistics centers, sized according to the specifics of each project.
Why is polycarbonate used for skylights?
Polycarbonate is a lightweight material, resistant to impact, with very good natural light transmission properties. These characteristics make it suitable for skylights installed on industrial halls, warehouses, factories, and other large buildings.
How do skylights help reduce energy consumption?
Skylights allow the use of natural light throughout the day and reduce the need for artificial lighting in industrial and commercial spaces. Depending on the building’s configuration, they can help lower energy consumption and improve indoor comfort.
Can skylights be integrated with smoke exhaust systems?
Yes. Skylights can be equipped with automatic opening systems for smoke and hot gas exhaust in the event of a fire, fulfilling both the natural lighting function and the smoke exhaust function.
What types of buildings are polycarbonate skylights recommended for?
Polycarbonate skylights are recommended for industrial halls, logistics centers, factories, warehouses, shopping centers, sports halls, and other constructions where natural lighting contributes to the building’s operational efficiency.
How is a skylight system sized for a new project?
Sizing is determined based on roof surface area, natural light requirements, building orientation, ventilation requirements, and applicable regulations. The solution is adapted to each project to achieve an optimal level of lighting.
What are the advantages of polycarbonate skylights compared to other natural lighting solutions?
Polycarbonate skylights offer a combination of low weight, high impact resistance, and efficient transmission of natural light. These characteristics make them suitable for the roofs of industrial and commercial buildings with large surfaces.
What maintenance do polycarbonate skylights require?
Maintenance includes checking the sealing elements, fixing systems, and, where present, the opening mechanisms for ventilation or smoke extraction. Periodic inspections help maintain performance and extend the service life.
