The history of architecture is the history of man's struggle for light; the history of the window.

Ludwig Mies Van der Roche (1886-1969)
Today that struggle continues but has been made so much easier with developments in new technology and design techniques. Today's new skylight products have extended the life and the beauty of skylights and is increasingly a winnable combination for architects and daylighting professionals alike.
One new product that stands out is polycarbonate, which out performs the old fiberglass sandwich panels. CPI Daylighting has a multi-cell panel that far exceeds all specifications of other types of glazing material such as fiberglass or other wide-cell polycarbonate.
