Guardian 275® Translucent Skylights

Guardian 275® Translucent Skylights are Beyond Equal. From simple ridge skylights to complex polygons, you can rely on the people at Major to help you arrive at an eye-catching, cost-effective solution. Guardian 275® skylights provide beautiful natural daylighting while reducing glare and heat loss. Their natural energy efficiency also saves money and stabilizes HVAC loads, and their unique construction provides one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios available for daylighting applications.

Standard Guardian 275® Skylights are available with 1-1/2" or 2-3/4" thick panels in sections up to 5'-0" by 20'-0" to maximize daylight and minimize cost. Panel grid options include In-Line Shoji, Staggered Shoji, and Tuckerman patterns in sizes from 6" by 6" to 12" by 24".
