SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A.
Performance Requirements: Provide roof accessories which have been manufactured,
fabricated and installed to withstand loads from [Specify code/standard reference.] and to
maintain [Specify performance criteria.] performance criteria stated by manufacturer without
defects, damage or failure.
B.
Unit Skylight Performance Requirements:
Specifier Note: Edit Performance Requirements paragraph below for loads to suit project requirements.
Roof accessories are commonly used in low-rise construction where roof elevations do not exceed 60
feet above grade. Plastic glazing materials are not designed to support live loads or concentrated
impact type loads. "Risk of fall" label is applied to each dome to warn of potential danger. (1)
Performance Requirements: Referenced standards establish the level of quality of unit skylights
available from quality manufacturers conforming to industry standards. (2) Condensation: Under certain
conditions of high humidity and/or large inside to outside temperature differentials, condensation may
occur on the aluminum framing and plastic glazing material. Thermally broken frames can be specified
to help control compensation on aluminum framing. Double glazing will usually reduce the occurrence
of condensation on the plastic, but will not totally eliminate it. The condensation that forms between the
double layers of plastic will normally dissipate as the airspace is heated by the sun. Sealed domes are
more resistant to the formation of condensation and will reduce accumulation of dust and foreign
matter. Sealed domes are available for most dome glazed unit skylights at additional cost.
Specifier Note: Edit paragraph below. Specify values, minimum 20 psf recommended.
1.
Design framing and dome infill assembly to support the following load requirements:
a.
b.
load.
[30] [40]-psf snow load plus dead load.
