Introduction of Automatic Thermoforming
With the evolution of our curb mounted skylights and a boom in skylight popularity, demand for larger quantities of product quickly grew. To keep up with demand of our acrylic dome skylights, the introduction of automatic thermo-forming was brought to the production floor. A flat sheet of acrylic is placed into the bed of the machine, clamped and heated to optimal forming temperatures. The melted sheet is then pulled over a mold and free formed into our iconic dome shaped skylight. Our first thermo-former was small but mighty and has evolved into many more, larger capacity machines over the decades capable of ever expanding amounts of formed acrylic domes per work shift.
