Why replace plastic bubbles with a VELUX FCM Skylight?
- VELUX glass skylights are much more durable, more energy efficient and, with a slim, smooth exterior, are more visually appealing than plastic bubbles.
- FCM Skylights incorporate VELUX high performance glazing and an all metal, insulated exterior frame that withstands the extremes of the Australian climate.
- FCMs are impact resistant and meet requirements for Australian Standards (AS 1288 & AS 4285) for load, water-tightness and overhead glazing.
- They have been tested to, and pass, Australian Standards for Bushfire (BAL 40, in roof pitches of 18° and above)
- They achieve the maximum 5 Stars on the WERS (Window Energy Rating Scheme) Summer rating.
- Unlike acrylic or polycarbonate, glass will not fade nor discolour over time, thereby safeguarding the highest standards of light quality.
- VELUX high performance double glazing blocks 80% of radiant heat and gives 99% protection from UV rays.
- The FCM unit achieves superb technical performance: U-Value 2.8 W/m²K; 0.26 Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (4646 size, complete skylight).
- 10 Year warranty.
- FCMs are relatively quick and easy to install, thereby saving on installation costs.
