Panels manufactured from heavy-duty fiberglass
Metal Building
Skylights
Translucent daylighting panels that replace select roof panels to bring natural light into your steel building's interior — without adding electrical load or altering the roof's structural configuration.
The basics
What are skylights for metal buildings?
Skylights for metal buildings are translucent daylighting panels designed to replace select roof panels and bring natural light into the interior without adding electrical load. In arch-style steel buildings, these skylights are purpose-made to match the roof profile, so the daylighting panel fits cleanly into the arches' corrugation pattern — maintaining roof continuity while improving interior brightness for everyday use.
Our skylight panels are made from heavy-duty fiberglass and available in a variety of colors. You can select from lengths up to 10' and a standard 2' width. Because many arch buildings are used as workshops, storage, small business spaces, or equipment shelters, steel building skylights are a practical upgrade that improves visibility where you need it most — especially across long building runs.
maximum panel length
10 ft
Standard 2' width, available in a variety of colors, manufactured from heavy-duty fiberglass.
recommended spacing
1/10 ft
Roughly one skylight per 10 feet of building length, to distribute light evenly and reduce shadows.
Where they help most
Where skylights make the biggest difference
Especially useful in buildings where tasks require clear visibility across the full floor area.

Engineering considerations for metal roof skylights
Proper planning ensures skylight panels provide effective daylighting while maintaining roof system performance.
Roof profile compatibility
Panel geometry matched to your building's roof profile.
Structural spacing
Panel placement planned along the arch for consistent support.
Wind & snow loads
Accounts for local wind and snow load conditions.
Daylighting requirements
Sized and spaced to meet your interior daylighting needs.
Ventilation & insulation
Integrates cleanly with ventilation and insulation systems.
Built for the arch profile
How panels fit arch-style roof systems
Metal roof skylight panels for arch buildings are installed as formed panels that align with the arch roof shape, rather than sitting as a raised curb or framed "window" style skylight. This approach supports faster installation during the build and provides uniform daylight distribution along the length of the structure.
Steel building skylights must also withstand real-world jobsite conditions. Toro's arch skylight panels are built from heavy-duty materials designed for durability and impact resistance, including performance in high winds and harsh weather exposure.

Common questions
Arch-style steel building skylights FAQs
Yes. Insulation isn’t included but can be added as an option, along with turbine vents, overhead doors and other arch building options.
Vents improve airflow and temperature control, reducing condensation and maintaining air quality. Skylights provide natural daylight, lowering energy consumption and improving interior visibility. These accessories enhance building comfort and operational efficiency.
