Starlight Evo Explosion-Proof Skylight
Explosion-proof skylight for natural lighting and overpressure protection
The Starlight Evo explosion-proof skylight, designed and manufactured by Welkins, is a professional solution intended for areas at risk of fire or explosion. The product provides permanent natural lighting and, in critical situations, allows for controlled venting in the event of overpressure.
Welkins is not just a supplier, but also a manufacturer and specialized installer, offering a complete solution: design, production, delivery, and installation.
What is an anti-explosion dome?
An anti-explosion dome (also known as explosion-proof dome) is a roof-mounted element designed to fulfill two essential functions:
- natural lighting of the interior space;
- controlled pressure relief in the event of an explosion.
In environments such as hospitals (areas with oxygen supplies), laboratories, or industrial spaces with flammable potential, pressure buildup can cause significant structural damage.
An explosion-proof hatch is designed so that, in the event of overpressure, it allows for the controlled failure of the glazing, facilitating the evacuation of the blast outward and reducing the impact on the building’s main structure.
Manufacturer of explosion-proof domes – the Welkins solution
A key differentiator is that Welkins manufactures every explosion-proof dome in-house, without intermediaries.
For the customer, this means:
- custom sizing for the project,
- proper technical integration into the roof structure,
- direct consultation with the technical team,
- sole responsibility for the product and installation.
Technical Features
Every Starlight Evo anti-explosion dome is made with high-quality components:
- Thermal break profile
Ensures energy efficiency and reduced heat loss. - FC4 + FC4 glass glazing
Offers high mechanical strength and controlled behavior under impact or pressure. - UV sealing
Protection against degradation caused by ultraviolet radiation. - Internal safety mesh for shard containment
Essential for user safety in the event of controlled breakage.
By design, this explosion-proof dome functions both as a skylight for natural lighting and as a passive explosion protection element.
The difference between a standard skylight and an explosion-proof skylight
A standard skylight is designed for lighting and, if necessary, ventilation.
In contrast, an explosion-proof skylight is designed for high-risk scenarios where the following are required:
- a controlled failure zone,
- predictable behavior under overpressure,
- additional protection for personnel and equipment.
Choosing an anti-explosion dome manufactured and installed by the same supplier reduces technical risk and eliminates fragmented responsibility among multiple operators.
Areas of Application
The Starlight Evo explosion-proof dome is recommended for:
- hospitals and clinics (areas with oxygen supplies),
- technical spaces with a risk of gas accumulation,
- industrial halls,,
- production facilities,
- storage facilities for sensitive substances,
- laboratories.
In complex projects, multiple explosion-proof domes can be installed, sized according to the building’s technical requirements.
Design, manufacturing, and installation
Welkins offers an integrated solution for every explosion-proof hatch:
- technical project analysis;
- in-house manufacturing;
- direct delivery;
- installation performed by our own teams.
This approach ensures technical consistency, quality control, and operational efficiency for the investor.
