CPI's simple retrofit skylight systems for OVER-GLAZING, REPLACEMENT and REGLAZING are the most effective designs to replace or envelope dated or damaged daylighting systems.
CPI Retrofit Skylight systems offer the following advantages:
- Eliminate leakage in old skylight systems.
- Improve insulation in older single-glazed daylighting systems.
- Significantly reduce air infiltration in old glazing systems.
- Reclaim light that has been lost due to aging fiberglass systems.
- Improve security in old vertical and sloped systems.
Enveloping Leaking Skylights or Vertical Glazing
Pentaglas® or
Quadwall®
systems can be designed to envelop leaking acrylic or glass systems. The source of the leakage is eliminated by floating a new skin over the existing structure and glazing. The new light-transmitting skin creates a complete, permanent waterproof membrane, ensuring a leak-proof seal.
Replacement of Failed Fiberglass Sandwich Panels
When used to replace fiberglass sandwich panels, a
Pentaglas® or
Quadwall® system turns an architectural eyesore into a bright and modern daylighting system, while solving many other problems

Replacement of Deteriorated Acrylic/Plastic Skylights
A retrofit
Pentaglas® glaze skylight measuring 20' x 113' was used by Meharry Medical College to replace a 20 year old skylight which was leaking and dark. The bronze Pentaglas® provides significantly more light than the previous dark bronze acrylic panels, and the watertight design prevents any future leaks. The simple retrofit installation did not interrupt the important medical research functions of the building, and the original frame of the skylight was retained with a few modifications, resulting in tremendous savings.
