Orion skylights are the smart choice for smoke and fire ventilation in industrial, office and storage buildings. Beautifully designed for slanted roofs, they are made from channeled polycarbonate sheets (clear or opaque), and include Primalux’s patented fire opening system, SafeSlide. They can also be used for everyday ventilation.
With a U-value approximately 20% lower than traditional skylights, Orion saves you money on heating bills, making it the most economical solution for smoke and fire ventilation. A highly insulated upstand helps to minimize heat loss. Unlike other manufacturers, Primalux will calculate the U-values for using Orion in your specific project, and show you the potential savings on your energy costs (see U-value section
below).
We can design Orion’s light openings on either side of the ridge according to your needs, so that they let more light into the building. We can also adapt Orion to suit your chosen roof material (e.g. tiles or slates).
This skylight is suitable for double pitched roofs and roof ridges. A special Deluxe version is available with hidden Safeslide systems, for a neat, clean look, suitable for modern architectural design. Orion also comes in a multiple-dome version.
