Dome
Self cleaning UV stabilised opal "ECONOLITE" acrylic dome as standard. Domes are also available in high-impact acrylic, "DOMELITE" or polycarbonate, "POLYLITE". Domes can be clear if required. To provide thermal protection we have our "DOUBLE DOME", "DAYLITER" and "SOLAR-CONTROLLER-LITE" models available. The "DAYLITER" is available in double glazed glass as well.

Flashings
The dome & base assembly is manufactured from heavy duty galvanised steel, with all exposed joints spot welded and solder sealed, painted to restore overall finish. Zincalume or Colourbond assemblies are also available. For a safer environment, lead flashing used on tile roof assemblies has a thermo-baked acrylic coating. The lead itself is heavy duty, 15 kg/m. For metal deck roofs we use a plumbing standard upstand flashing and gutter strip. Dome trims are fully interlocked a each corner. (Separate comer fixings are not acceptable as they do not provide sufficiently secure fixings).

Australian Standard Testing (AS 4285)
We are able to offer skylight units tested in accordance with AS 4285 - SKYLIGHTS. This further ensures that the product is manufactured to the highest standards and then subjected to a rigorous testing program that includes impact resistance and driven rain tests.

Reflective Light Shafts
As standard we use a polymer bonded high-gloss white finished ply timber, complete with steel reinforced comers. Shafts of this design facilitate flaring to a ceiling opening greater than that of the Skylight size if required. We do not recommend the use of Colourbond steel because of heat transfer & noise vibration problems. Similarly, we do not believe there has been sufficient long term experience or exposure to justify the use of silver reflective fibre boards.

Light Diffusers
As standard they are clear prismatic or open grid, depending on the venting arrangement. We can offer a variety of optional diffusers including our vented prismatic diffuser or the very attractive "DESIGNERLITE" range of diffuser panels to add that personalised touch to the skylight.

Ceiling Surrounds
As standard they are manufactured from aluminium and finished in a high-gloss white baked enamel. Natural Timber finish is available as an optional extra.

Installation
Atlite can install any of our skylight systems using qualified installation tradesmen. Being qualified, our tradesmen ensure the job is done to a standard not just to price. Cut rafters or ceiling joists are fully trimmed out during the installation, so as to retain the structural integrity of the roof structure. It is in everyone's best interests to have full responsibility for the skylight product and installation resting with the manufacturer.

Guarantee
As standard we guarantee the performance and the quality of the materials, and the installation carried out by our servants or agents for Ten (10) Years, after the supply and/or installation date, whichever is applicable. In addition to our Guarantee and in accordance with the Plumbing Industry Board requirements, we provide compliance certificates for all installations exceeding $500. For an additional charge of $20.00 (the cost of the Compliance Certificate) we will provide same for installations of a lesser value.

Showroom and Factory
Visitors to our showroom are always welcome to see first hand our range of products. A tour through our manufacturing facility can also be arranged.

Size Range
Atlite has without doubt the most extensive range of products in the industry. We can offer any of our square or rectangle skylights in ten (10) different types of dome/top arrangements. Our standard range consists of seven (7) square skylights from 500 x 500 to 1500 x 1500, and six (6) rectangular skylights from 800x400 to 1200x800. Other special sizes are available on request.
