VALUE-ENGINEERED TRANSLUCENT WALL SYSTEMS & SKYLIGHTS
IMPROVE THE QUALITY
OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT –
BOTH INSIDE AND OUT
LightBasic™ systems are an energy-saving and cost-effective green design
tool that provides occupants with the beauty and benefits of glare-free
natural light. By reducing the need for energy-hungry artificial lighting
(which can make up more than 25% of a commercial building’s overall
energy use) as well as controlling heat loss and gain, LightBasic™ can
optimize energy performance and reduce HVAC loads. This is especially
important during peak energy use hours when costs are at their highest.
Because of their environmentally-friendly design qualities, including postconsumer and pre-consumer recycled content and energy-saving insulation
options, LightBasic™ systems may contribute to a variety of LEED® credits
for both new construction and existing buildings.

LEED® opportunities, visit us online at www.majorskylights.com.

Acrylit®gc FACE SHEET TECHNOLOGY
LightBasic™ systems are constructed with Acrylit®GC face sheet. This unique sheet, created by Glasteel, the second largest
manufacturer of FRP products in North America, feature 100% pure acrylic resin, fiberglass reinforcement, and Gel Coat
protection on both sides to help resist weathering as well as to provide uniform diffusion of natural light. The unique formulation
of Acrylit®GC also helps to prevent light transmission loss caused by UV damage and color change. Acrylit®GC is unlike traditional
acrylic-based daylighting materials in that its fiberglass reinforcement provides excellent strength and impact characteristics. Even
so, Acrylit®GC has exceptional flatness, allowing panels to wash clean with little or no maintenance. All of these characteristics
combine to ensure building owners worry-free performance for years to come.
Insulation, sheet color and grid pattern configuration options available.
