Diffused skylights can be combined with daylight-responsive lighting controls and energy-efficient lighting to maximize energy savings.

Nucor offers several skylight options to maximize daylight transmission, including:

• Prismatic Skylight Roof Curb System

• LED Lighting and Controls

Smoke and heat vent skylights are designed to automatically open to release smoke, heat and noxious fumes in case of a fire. These skylights can withstand severe weather conditions. They come fully assembled and ready for installation.

Nucor’s prismatic skylights provide 100% diffusion and 35% more light than conventional skylights. The design virtually eliminates glares and hotspots in buildings.

EcoSpan Mezzanines

Nucor’s Ecospan mezzanines have components with high strength-to-weight ratios, which allows for shallow floor depths, longer spans, enhanced performance and greater rigidity. The mezzanines are made with 97% recycled steel joists and 70% recycled steel decking.

Installation is quick and easy thanks to the company’s patented screw-down Shearflex HD Connector. Each connector is placed in less than 10 seconds.

The lightweight, shallow composite joints allow for greater rigidity and are a more economical solution.

Nucor’s mezzanines also have a sound transmission classification rating of 57 in tests conducted by the Riverbank Acoustic Laboratory.
