Custom Skylight
Installation in NYC
Purpose-built skylights planned around the opening, roof conditions, glass requirements, water management, insulation, and architectural intent of each New York property.
Built for the Opening
Designed Around the Building—not a Catalog Size
A successful skylight must introduce daylight while performing as part of the roof and building envelope.
NYC ALL GLASS plans custom skylight installations for townhouses, residences, apartment buildings, retail properties, offices, hospitality spaces, and construction projects throughout New York City. We review the proposed opening, supporting conditions, roof slope, drainage path, glass specification, framing system, and surrounding finishes before installation.
The objective is a skylight that fits the architecture, admits useful natural light, and is coordinated for weather protection, thermal performance, safety, and finish quality. Our team works with property owners, general contractors, architects, designers, property managers, and construction teams from field review through installation.
Skylight Configurations
Custom Solutions for Different Roofs, Openings & Interiors
The appropriate configuration depends on site conditions and project requirements. Our team reviews the complete assembly before recommending glass, framing, and installation details.
Flat-Roof Skylights
Custom assemblies coordinated with curbs, roof membranes, drainage paths, and interior light-well conditions.
Pitched-Roof Skylights
Glazed openings planned around roof pitch, exterior transitions, structural support, and the intended interior view.
Multi-Panel & Architectural Skylights
Larger glazed compositions for atriums, roof additions, stairs, circulation spaces, commercial interiors, and other design-led applications requiring coordinated panel geometry and framing.
Residential Skylights
Custom daylighting for townhouses, private homes, penthouses, additions, stairwells, kitchens, and living spaces.
Commercial Skylights
Overhead daylighting for retail, office, hospitality, institutional, multifamily, and contractor-led projects.
Building-Envelope Coordination
Performance Is Decided at the Perimeter
The glass is only one part of a dependable skylight. Perimeter conditions must connect the skylight assembly to the surrounding roof and interior construction. We coordinate the installation around project-specific flashing, sealing, insulation, drainage, curb, and finish requirements.
Our Installation Process
From Field Review to Final Glass
Each project follows a practical sequence so dimensions, materials, interfaces, access, and installation responsibilities are understood before glass arrives on site.
Project Review
We review the location, proposed opening, drawings, design intent, schedule, access, and current construction stage.
Field Measurements
Our team verifies dimensions, roof conditions, supports, slopes, transitions, surrounding finishes, and installation constraints.
System & Glass Coordination
Glass makeup, frame configuration, attachment, finish, sealing, insulation, and project-specific interfaces are coordinated.
Fabrication Preparation
Verified information is organized for glass and component preparation before installation is scheduled.
Professional Installation
Installation is coordinated around site access, protection, adjacent trades, alignment, perimeter details, and finish quality.
Final Review
The completed skylight is reviewed for glass condition, alignment, visible finishes, and the defined installation scope.
Where Custom Skylights Work
Daylight for Residential, Commercial & Construction Projects
Custom skylights can bring natural light into enclosed plans, deep interiors, stairs, top floors, additions, and large shared spaces where conventional windows cannot provide the intended result.
Townhouses, Homes & Penthouses
Retail, Office & Hospitality
Architectural & Contractor-Led Work
Built for New York Conditions
Skylight Planning for NYC Buildings
New York properties bring tight access, occupied interiors, older construction, roof-level logistics, adjacent trades, and project-specific documentation. NYC ALL GLASS plans the glazing scope around actual site conditions and coordinates with owners and project teams throughout the work.
Service Territory
Custom Skylight Installation Across New York City
NYC ALL GLASS serves all five boroughs, with Manhattan as the primary service area. Project availability depends on scope, access, schedule, and site conditions.
