Aerogel Skylights





Aerogel is the lightest and least solid material on the planet. It was developed by NASA to catch space dust for research and is basically solid smoke. Because it is mostly air, it is also a great insulator. It allows about 20-30% of light transmission while maintaining a high insulation value, a perfect application in skylights.
