Direct factory-grade manufacturing delivering high-performance daylighting solutions for Swiss climate extremes, from urban lofts in Zurich to alpine chalets in Valais.
Swiss architectural design demands a precise harmony between daylight maximization, rigorous energy efficiency standards, and extreme structural durability. As a specialized glass skylight manufacturer exporting directly to cantons across Switzerland—including Zurich, Bern, Geneva, Vaud, and Valais—our custom factory engineering aligns directly with local climate conditions and building codes.
Elevations above 1,000 meters in Zermatt, St. Moritz, or Verbier face immense heavy snow loads, rapid freeze-thaw cycles, and intense UV exposure. Our Alpine-Series skylights feature extra-thick tempered double/triple laminated glass paired with heated glass elements to melt snow accumulation and prevent structural overloading.
Residential modernization projects in Zurich, Lucerne, and Basel require airtight envelope seals and minimal thermal bridging. Our thermal break aluminium frames with polyamide insulation strips deliver overall Uw-values that effortlessly satisfy Swiss Minergie-P eco-building certifications.
For corporate headquarters and public rotundas in Geneva and Zurich, our large-span structural glass roofs combine low-E glass coatings with high solar heat rejection, ensuring flooded natural light without overheating the interior HVAC environment.
The Swiss building sector enforces some of the strictest building performance criteria globally. Understanding these regulations is vital for developers, architects, and general contractors procuring glass skylights from overseas manufacturers.
Swiss standard SIA 261 outlines the exact calculation methods required for snow, wind, and seismic forces across different geographical altitude zones in Switzerland. Skylights installed in high-altitude cantons must resist combined loads exceeding 8.5 kN/m². Our manufacturing facility utilizes finite element analysis (FEA) software to engineer glass pane thickness—often combining 8mm or 10mm heat-soak tested toughened outer glass with SentryGlas® (SG) laminated safety glass on the interior underside.
To prevent heat loss during winter and minimize solar heat gain during summer, skylight frames must incorporate multi-chamber extruded aluminium profiles (6063-T6 alloy) with 34mm+ polyamide thermal breaks. Filling the glass cavity with 90% Argon gas and applying soft-coat Low-Emissivity (Low-E) coatings achieves center-of-glass Ug values as low as 0.5 W/m²K, significantly reducing heating fuel consumption across Swiss winters.
Daylight factor optimization is a core trend in Swiss sustainable architecture. Our factory offers custom solar-control glass formulations that deliver high visible light transmittance (t_v ≥ 70%) while locking out unwanted infrared heat radiation (solar factor / g-value ≤ 30%). This prevents greenhouse effect overheating during Swiss summer heatwaves.
Due to high indoor-outdoor temperature differentials during Swiss winters, moisture condensation along skylight glass edges can cause timber mold and frame corrosion. We integrate warm-edge composite spacers (e.g., Technoform or Swisspacer) and triple EPDM peripheral seals to elevate edge-seal surface temperatures, completely preventing dew point condensation.
By eliminating middle-tier distribution layers, our factory supplies Swiss real estate developers, timber-frame construction companies (Holzbau), and glazing installers with custom-manufactured roof glass systems at factory-direct pricing—backed by rigorous Quality Assurance (ISO 9001, EN 12150, EN 1279).
Extruded aluminium profiles are machined on 5-axis German CNC centers to achieve tight assembly tolerances (±0.5mm), ensuring flawless waterproofing and rapid assembly on site in Switzerland.
All tempered glass panes undergo stringent Heat Soak Testing (EN 14179) inside our factory furnaces to eliminate nickel sulfide (NiS) inclusions, guaranteeing zero spontaneous glass breakage post-installation.
We provide full export documentation, custom wooden crate packaging designed for sea-and-rail transit, and Direct Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) door-to-door delivery across all cantons in Switzerland.
Technical and procurement queries commonly raised by Swiss general contractors, architects, and private buyers.
Our glass skylights are structural engineered according to Swiss SIA 261 standards. For high-altitude cantons (such as Valais, Grisons, or Uri), we utilize multi-layered laminated safety glass (using SentryGlas® interlayers) paired with heavy-duty 6063-T6 aluminium frames. Additionally, integrated electrical heating wire glass is available to actively melt heavy snow drift buildup.
Yes. Our triple-glazed thermal break skylight systems achieve overall installed Uw-values below 0.8 W/m²K (and Ug center-glass values down to 0.5 W/m²K). Utilizing 34mm polyamide thermal breaks, argon gas fill, and warm-edge spacers, our systems easily meet Minergie and Minergie-P energy standards.
After approval of final CAD shop drawings, custom manufacturing typically takes 3 to 4 weeks. Shipping via sea container to European ports (Rotterdam/Hamburg) and rail/truck transfer to Switzerland takes approximately 4 to 5 weeks. Express air-freight options are also available for urgent hardware components.
Absolutely. We incorporate concealed chain actuators (24V or 230V) compatible with KNX, Somfy, and standard Swiss smart home automation systems. Integrated rain, wind, and temperature sensors automatically close venting skylights at the first drop of rainfall or during heavy wind gusts.
All skylights are packed in reinforced, IPPC-certified ISPM-15 wooden crates with protective corner shock absorbers and moisture barrier vacuum wrapping. Every shipment is fully insured. In the rare event of transit damage, replacement panes are prioritized on our production line and expedited immediately.
Yes. Our automated powder-coating lines support the entire Qualicoat-certified RAL color system. We can provide dual-color anodizing or powder coating (e.g., dark metallic anthracite RAL 7016 on the exterior roof side, and clean neutral RAL 9016 white on the interior ceiling side).
