Custom Plastic Skylight: Dome, Pyramid, Specialty, Flat, Polycarbonate & Multiwall Skylights
A plexiglass skylight provides an excellent, energy-efficient daylighting solution for your home or business. Since our inception, our traditional bubble dome skylights have been a staple of the industry. We offer these in both standard curb-mounts for commercial projects and self-flashing units that work great for residential projects with a slope greater than or equal to 14 degrees (3/12 roof pitch angle or greater).

Every plastic skylight can be custom built just for you to provide exactly what you need, when you need it. Our custom plastic skylights include dome, pyramid and flat design options. We also offer polycarbonate and multiwall plexiglass skylights as well as specialty units. Shop skylights today!
How long do plastic skylights last?
Depending on the quality of the skylight and the installation, a plastic skylight can last anywhere from 8-15 years. Our extensive knowledge at Marco Skylights helps us avoid common mistakes that shorten the lifespan of your skylight.
We are well versed in proper installation and repair techniques, which are the two leading causes in a shorter skylight lifespan. Improper installation can lead to leaks between where the skylight meets the building frame. Additionally, if a skylight is repaired with sealant or caulk, it can lessen the area a skylight has to move and expand with the building frame, resulting in cracks and fractures.
Plastic skylights offer various benefits over their glass counterparts. The three main types of plastic skylights we offer at Marco Skylights are Acrylic, Impact Modified Acrylic, and Polycarbonate. Each of these options adds value over glass in different ways.
- Acrylic – Lightweight, 50x stronger than glass, produced with UV stabilized monomer
- Impact Modified Acrylic – Same as acrylic with 20% more impact resistance
Polycarbonate – Over 200x stronger than glass it is virtually unbreakable, comes with co-extruded UV cap to protect against sun damage
