Skyspan offers two barrel vault systems to suit different project requirements.

The BVT (Barrel Vault – Glazed On-Site) system is installed and glazed on site by Skyspan and is therefore available as a supply and install solution only. This system is typically used for larger spans or projects with more complex geometries.

The BVP (Barrel Vault – Prefabricated) system is fully manufactured and glazed prior to delivery. It can be supplied supply only or supply and install, allowing for faster installation and simplified site coordination.

Yes. Barrel Vault Skylights are typically custom designed to suit each project.

Skyspan can manufacture barrel vaults with varying spans, radii, lengths and glazing configurations, allowing the system to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of architectural roof structures.

Our in-house design team works closely with architects, builders and engineers to develop solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each project.

Barrel Vault Skylights are commonly used in commercial, public and architectural projects where large areas of natural daylight are required.

Typical applications include shopping centres, streetscape canopies, atriums, building entrances, walkways and public buildings.

Their curved profile allows daylight to be introduced across large roof areas while maintaining a distinctive architectural appearance.

Yes. Skyspan provides in-house design and technical support to assist architects and builders during the early design stages of a project.

Our team can assist with concept design, system selection, custom sizing and integration into the surrounding roof structure, helping ensure the skylight system performs as intended while meeting architectural and structural requirements.

With the BVT system, the barrel vault structure is installed first and the glazing is installed on site by Skyspan.

With the BVP system, the barrel vault units are prefabricated prior to delivery, allowing for faster installation once the structure is placed on the roof.
