Protected roof glazing

Impact-resistant skylight and rooflight pathways for severe-storm buildings.

Roof glazing is part of the building envelope. Apollo's impact-skylight pathway covers selected residential, commercial and institutional rooflights where wind pressure, debris impact, curb or frame attachment, flashing and water management need to be reviewed together.

Use this page for early system selection; final performance follows the exact tested, listed or engineered configuration and the actual project.
01

What is Impact Skylights & Rooflights?

Roof glazing is part of the building envelope. Apollo's impact-skylight pathway covers selected residential, commercial and institutional rooflights where wind pressure, debris impact, curb or frame attachment, flashing and water management need to be reviewed together.

02

What project information should Apollo receive first?

Send the project location, building type, drawings or clear photographs, relevant dimensions and structural information, and any known wind, design-pressure, impact, flood, shelter, access or local-code requirements that apply to this system.

03

Can this system be specified from website information alone?

No. Site hazard, dimensions, loads, support and anchorage, exact product configuration, installation method, applicable technical evidence and local approvals can all change the final specification.

04

Does Apollo install this protection system?

Apollo is supply-only. Final engineering, fixings, installation, approvals and local code compliance remain with the appropriate manufacturer, approved specialist or client-side project team unless expressly included in the written scope.

05

Can Apollo review this system for international projects?

Yes, where the product and project can be supported. Destination hazard, climate, freight, documentation, local engineering, certification and installation responsibilities are reviewed before supply.

01Project guidance

A protected façade can still have vulnerable roof glazing.

Skylights, rooflights and daylight systems should be included in the severe-weather opening schedule, particularly on buildings with large roof apertures or critical occupied areas below.

02Project guidance

The tested assembly matters.

Glazing or polycarbonate material alone does not define performance. Frame, curb, fasteners, tested dimensions, pressure ratings, impact category and installation configuration need to correspond with the proposed roof opening.

03Project guidance

Water management is separate from impact resistance.

Flashing, curb height, roof membrane transitions, drainage and wind-driven rain details remain essential even when the rooflight has appropriate wind and impact evidence.

04Project guidance

Commercial rooflights can require different systems from residential skylights.

Large spans, repeated units, smoke/ventilation functions, access and roof structure can move the project into a different product and approval pathway.

Project-specific performance

Performance follows the exact system and project.

Opening size, positive and negative design pressures, impact requirements, tracks or frames, anchors and structural substrate all affect final performance. Numerical wind, impact and certification information is matched to the applicable tested or engineered configuration for the project.
