Revelation SkyCeilings

Revelation, our first architecturally sculpted SkyCeiling system, features a series of rectilinear skylight modules that deliver up to 12 times the image surface of our Classic SkyTiles. Revelation Luminous SkyCeiling’s elegant self-supporting skylight framework provides the most engaging sky illusion for higher ceilings.

Revelation’s self-supporting skylight perimeter is
robust, lightweight, and elegant.

Deep, Angled Reveal

The enhanced dimensions and angled profile of the Revelation SkyCeiling transform deep plan interiors into beautiful, restorative environments that support occupant wellness and performance. In ceilings higher than 9 feet (2.74m), Revelation SkyCeilings generate a captivating, geometrically sculpted portal to open skies that brings the benefits of a visual connection to nature to life in spaces that have no other option.

Open Skies Technology

Unlike commercial nature photography, Sky Factory’s photographic Open Sky Compositions™ are captured, composed, and arranged with a single architectural purpose in mind—to generate the most credible overhead skies.

All our photographers, printers, craftspeople, and engineers labor with quality and locally sourced materials to create outstanding American-made installations that lead the industry in durability, craftsmanship, and aesthetics.

Central, windowless spaces are the perfect area to incorporate a visual connection to nature. Sky Factory products are extremely useful in deep plan buildings where a perceived connection to nature is most welcome.

Patented Architectural Reveals

Revelation’s 2.75” (7cm) SkyTile™ elevators raise the image panels above the ceiling plane, sculpting the illusion of depth.

Proprietary Open Sky Photography

By setting up gravitationally correct sky photography (perpendicular to the ground), our photographers capture the zenith and generate the most credible overhead sky illusion.

Self-Supporting Framework

Revelation SkyCeiling’s robust skylight framework supports the skylight, liberating it from the grid while adding a visually attractive architectural feature.

How Revelation SkyCeilings work

Revelation Exploded View

1. LED Lighting Systems

The standard EcoPlus LED and low profile EcoSlim LED lighting systems provide outstanding daylight quality light (6500K). EcoPlus requires 8.75″ (22.2. cm) of vertical clearance, and EcoSlim requires 6.25″ (15.9 cm). IRIS-capable Revelation SkyCeilings use a custom EcoPlus LED lighting array. At this time, IRIS Lighting is not MRI compatible.

Revelation Lighting Options

2. SkyTiles (image panels)

Non-glare, lightweight polycarbonate image panels featuring a high-resolution, proprietary digital image color-calibrated for optimal daylight illumination.

3. Ceiling Grid or Hard Ceiling

Client-provided standard or custom ceiling grid around the installation or a hard ceiling soffit opening.

4. Architectural Reveal

Patented Revelation SkyTile elevators are angled, moisture-resistant aluminum reveals that recess the image panels above the grid thereby boosting the illusion of a real skylight framework overhead.
