The Firestone SunWave Daylighting System is a premium daylighting product for the commercial roofing industry.
Featuring a double-glazed, acrylic, prismatic layered dome, SunWave provides the highest visible light transmittance with superior light distribution, compared to sunlight domes. Over 4,000 tiny prisms per square foot refract, direct and diffuse sunlight into thousands of micro sunbeams. This technology will keep rooms bright enough to decrease the use of indoor electrical lighting up to 70% during daylight hours.
SunWave’s innovative design catches up to 20% more light at low angles than standard shapes and transmits more light to the work plane area without producing glare, hot spots or UV damage to interior merchandise. It is equipped with an insulated, condensation-resistant, thermally-broken frame and integrated exterior weeping wells, eliminating the buildup of moisture in the frame. After passing a 200 lb drop test from 2 feet above the highest part of the dome, the dome has proven to be 50% stronger than building codes require. Hail and wind resistant, the dome is approved for use in Class 3 Hail Risk Zones and High Velocity Hurricane Zones.
