NATURAL ZENITH LIGHTING
MONOBLOC DOMES
VELA SERIES
Vela series domes are manufactured by thermoforming first quality polycarbonate (PC) sheets, in clear transparent or opal white colour, UV rays protected to guarantee longer duration against yellowing, with reaction to fire classification B-s1-d0 according to EN 13501-1 Standard. In addition to robustness, light diffusion, and thermal insulation, they have an excellent impact behaviour and guarantee a high resistance to heat in all those situations where the safety of people and things is a critical factor that cannot be disregarded.
Their peculiar shape, which ensures strength and a better light output, makes our domes an effective system of natural zenithal lighting. The availability of different solutions in single, double, and triple skin allows to install the domes in the most different environmental conditions. Thanks to this range of solutions, we can solve the problem of thermal insulation that is becoming more and more important in terms of energy saving. This is one of the reasons that led CAODURO® to create new models: double skin M125 FX and triple skin M126 FX, which are realized with external and intermediate skin made of thermoformed solid polycarbonate sheet, internal skin made of flat alveolar polycarbonate sheet
DIAMANTE SERIES
Diamante series domes are made only upon request in square and rectangular shape, with the dimensions indicated on the product detail schedule. They are manufactured by thermoforming first quality polycarbonate (PC) sheets, in clear transparent or opal white colour, UV rays protected to guarantee longer duration against yellowing, with reaction to fire classification B-s1-d0 or B-s2-d0 according to UNI-EN 13501-1:2009 Standard.
The peculiar shape of the element ensures a great light diffusion and a significant thermal insulation, which varies depending on the model. The install the domes in the most different environmental conditions. The solution of thermal insulation and energy saving problems is the reason that led CAODURO® to create new models.
K160 FX VELA SERIES
K160 FX series monobloc domes have been introduced for their excellent thermal insulation at the expense of great load bearing capacity obtained with solid polycarbonate sheets and a lower hail resistance. Manufactured by thermoforming alveolar polycarbonate sheets, UV rays protected, in standard opal white colour, with reaction to fire classification B-s2-d0 according to EN 13501-1 Standard.
The fastenings are made with standard clamps, which offer the maximum guarantee to water tightness and thermal expansion.
To get a correct installation, the domes need a perimeter support with thickness to the finished of any sheaths of 6.5 cm on concrete walls, wood, prefabricated glass fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP) or metallic upstands. CAODURO® domes are manufactured and tested according to the following European Standard which requires CE marking: EN 1873 Prefabricated accessories for roofing – Individual rooflights of plastics – Product specification and test methods.
CONTINUOUS SKYLIGHTS
035 FX SERIES
035 FX series continuous modular skylights are manufactured by thermoforming first quality polycarbonate (PC) sheets, in standard opal white colour.
In addition to robustness and light diffusion, they have an excellent impact behaviour and guarantee a high resistance to heat in all those situations where the safety of people and things is a determinant factor which cannot be ignored. Each intermediate element, 180/270 cm long, is realized with stiffening ribs 30 cm spaced. Cutting appropriately the ribs, it is possible to obtain sub-multiple 30, 60 or 90 cm long.
These skylights are surely the ideal solution to take advantage of natural zenithal lighting, as their modularity permits to have very long roof openings. The possibility of obtaining solutions in single, double, or triple skin allows to install our skylights in the most different environmental conditions. Thanks to this range of solutions, we can solve the problem of thermal insulation that is becoming more and more important in terms of energy saving. This is one of the reasons that led CAODURO® to create new models.
045 FX SERIES
Continuous modular 040 FX (single skin) and 045 FX (double skin) series skylights are manufactured by thermoforming first quality polycarbonate (PC) sheets, in standard opal white colour.
Each intermediate element, 180 cm long, is realized with 7 stiffening ribs 30 cm spaced. Cutting appropriately the ribs, it is possible to obtain sub-multiple 30, 60 or 90 cm long.
These skylights are surely the ideal solution to take advantage of natural zenithal lighting, as their modularity permits to have very long roof openings.
It is possible to apply to both models the whole or partial opening systems.
The fastenings are made with standard clamps, which offer the maximum guarantee to water tightness and thermal expansion.
PMMA skylights are available upon request and depending on the quantities.
Our skylights can be installed on metallic upstands, metallic upstands for continuous ventilation, standard GFRP monobloc upstands, GFRP monobloc upstands with extractors, Onda Europa GFRP monobloc upstands, GFRP monobloc upstands on corrugated roofing sheets, GFRP monobloc upstands for curved sandwich panels, concrete or wooden upstands (not supplied by us).
Each aluminium frame can be standard or provided with low thermal transmittance profile BT. It is suitable to be combined with manual opening device, electric opening device for daily ventilation, manhole opening device for roof access and eventually SMOKE OUT® for smoke and heat exhaust ventilation system installation.
Further accessories are anti-falling and anti-intrusion grids, sunshade sliding curtains, insect screens and our GUARDIAN™ detector for the automatic skylight’s closing in presence of wind or rain.
In order to get a correct installation, the skylights need a perimeter support with thickness to the finished of any sheaths of 7.5 cm on concrete walls, wood, prefabricated glass fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP) or metallic upstands.
CAODURO® skylights are manufactured and tested according to the following European Standard which requires CE marking: EN 14963 Roof coverings – Continuous rooflights of plastics with or without upstands – Classification, requirements and test methods.
Thanks to a wide range of accessories, our skylights can be employed in private dwellings as well as in commercial and industrial buildings: a quality product guaranteed over time.
K35 FX SERIES
To meet the new market needs, K35 FX series has been introduced for its excellent thermal insulation, at the expense of a great load bearing capacity obtained with solid polycarbonate sheets (035 FX and M35 FX) and a lower hail resistance. K35 FX series is manufactured by thermoforming alveolar polycarbonate sheets, UV rays protected, in standard opal white colour, with reaction to fire classification B-s2-d0 according to EN 13501-1 Standard.
It is possible to apply to this series the whole or partial opening system.
The fastenings are made with standard clamps, which offer the maximum guarantee to water tightness and thermal expansion.
In order to get a correct installation, the skylights need a perimeter support with thickness to the finished of any sheaths of 7.5 cm on concrete walls, wood, prefabricated glass fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP) or metallic upstands.
CAODURO® skylights are manufactured and tested according to the following European Standard which requires CE marking: EN 14963 Roof coverings – Continuous rooflights of plastics with or without upstands – Classification, requirements and test methods.
S SERIES
S series ribbed skylights have been conceived to offer the designer a standard product.
First quality materials, modular flexibility given by the aluminium rib structure together with a pleasant aesthetic aspect make this product the right choice for every application need.
S series skylights can be single or double skin, using solid polycarbonate (PC) sheets or, upon request, alveolar polycarbonate sheets.
Rib spacings vary according to the sheet type used, as shown in the table. Any excess in length compared to the expected multiples of the modules is compensated with an element that can be positioned laterally or centrally to the skylight, depending on the shape of the hole.
Such as standard continuous skylights, even S series ribbed skylights can be provided with manual or electric partial opening devices (one or more pushing points depending on the size), or with whole opening devices by means of electric motor and about 70 cm long racks.
