The many benefits of daylighting - energy savings, reduction in building costs, possible improved productivity and satisfaction of building occupants, and sustainability, to name a few - are well known, leading more design engineers and architects to specify it in commercial building spaces. Commercial skylight manufacturers have a number of glazing materials available at their disposal, but what has been lacking is a single material that balances strength, light transmission and light diffusion. Until now ... Bayer MaterialScience LLC has launched Makrolon~R SK polycarbonate sheet, the first in a series of Daylighting Solutions materials. Makrolon~R SK polycarbonate prismatic textured sheet is optimized to diffuse and distribute light while maintaining a high level of light transmission, making it ideal for daylighting applications. In skylight applications, the material can be draped or thermoformed and has a higher impact resistance than acrylic or glass.
