ABSTRACT:
A skylight system is formed of preglazed modules which are arranged side-by-side in a grid-like array which is supported on an underlying beam structure. The preglazed modules have slideably interfitting edges for joining to adjacent modules along all four sides of each module. The preferred modules are attached and are supported on corners thereof to the underlying beam structure. The interfitted edges allow slight relative shifting to accommodate expansion or contraction due to thermal conditions. Preferably, the modules may be supported and arrayed to define a flat surface or a predetermined curvature for the skylight. Broken glazing panels may be replaced in a given preglazed module. Gutters on adjacent modules are joined to provide a continuous moisture removal system.
