Louis Kahn famously quoted, ‘A room is not a room without natural light.’ This philosophy stands true, especially in today’s era of intelligent homes and smart systems that primarily utilize artificial lighting. Bringing in the right amount of natural light and ventilation into a built space is extremely crucial not only from a health perspective but also in reference to incorporating energy efficiency and sustainability into window systems. The fenestration industry faces the challenge of innovating and keeping up with these rapidly changing needs.

With an approach rooted in science and craftsmanship, their range of products reflects the company’s ethos and philosophy.

It believes in keeping up with the changing times and has developed its products with the foresight to accommodate the ever-changing needs of the evolving future.Â
Developed with evolving innovations in mind, the design of SkyLITE from ALCOI’s Sky Series features the latest ‘lift-and-slide’ technology. Elegant, sleek, and minimal – SkyLITE embraces an ergonomic design with flat and minimal profiles that guarantee picture-postcard views with greater sightlines and lesser distraction. It’s a state-of-the-art system that combines the ease of technology and enhances the aesthetics.
SkyLITE’s resilient modular system features a unique handle to regulate a range of opening sizes with sophistication while facilitating easy panel movement. Seamlessly integrated within the system is a long-lever handle with an ergonomic design. Crafted for large sliding openings of up to 350kgs shutter weight, the INOX sliding tracks and a roller bogey provide silent ‘lift and slide’ movements. Multiple colour options for handles allow the system to blend in with any design language.
Being India’s leading supplier of cutting-edge fenestration solutions, ALCOI’s SkyLITE offers an embedded lift-and-slide system with a concealed outer frame and flushed shutter profiles for optimum transparency without any architectural restrictions. Single, double, and triple row INOX sliding tracks facilitate frictionless sliding movement. Along with ensuring safe and smooth operations, these tracks are also removable for easy maintenance. Furthermore, wraparound glazing gaskets guarantee the protection of glazing edges and easy glass replacement in case of breakage.Â
Fitted with special EPDM gaskets, SkyLITE offers air and water tightness and thermal and acoustic insulation. In addition, the outer frame track design features condensation profiles to collect and drain water through weep holes in visually concealed areas.
