Design & Structural Philosophy
We supply and install a wide range of premium skylight systems, including flat-glass rooflights, walk-on glass floors, pyramid lanterns, and custom structural glass roofs. Engineered with heavy-duty aluminum framing and solar-control laminated double glazing, our skylights reduce artificial lighting needs while preventing heat gain in the UAE climate.
Typical Applications
Abundant Natural Daylight Flow
Floods dark interior hallways, kitchens, and central living areas with natural sunlight.
Solar Heat Reduction Glazing
High-performance Low-E coatings reflect intense Gulf solar radiation and UV rays.
Diverse Roof Typologies
Available in flat-glass rooflights, dome units, pyramid lanterns, and modular structural glass roofs.
Direct-to-Site Delivery & Installation
Complete turnkey service with custom sizing, site delivery, and expert installation across the UAE.
Available Opening Configurations
Flexible opening options fitting small and large openings with ease across residential and commercial spaces.
Flat-Glass Framed Rooflight

System Standards & FAQs
Architectural Site Preparation & Tolerances
Flawless operation of custom architectural glazing relies on precise opening preparation. Our engineering team provides detailed coordination with structural contractors prior to fabrication.
Structural Opening Plumb & Level
Openings must maintain precise vertical and horizontal alignment across the entire span to ensure smooth panel gliding.
Sub-Sill Drainage Integration
Exterior recessed tracks include concealed weep holes and gravity drainage channels to discharge driven rainwater.
Load-Bearing Overhead Support
Top-hung and vertical folding assemblies require adequate overhead structural support coordinated with project engineers.
Floor Finish Coordination
Finished floor levels (FFL) inside and out must be coordinated early for flush, step-free threshold transitions.
Pre-Fabrication Survey
Accurate Site Dimensions in Dubai
FoldnSlide field technicians verify every opening in person with multi-point on-site measurements before releasing profiles to our Al Quoz CNC milling center. This guarantees an exact drop-in fit, weather-tight perimeter seals, and effortless gliding operation.
