GAMCO Corp. installs 400 s/f of structural
skylight at The Rockleigh

Rockleigh, NJ The main ballroom at The Rockleigh, a Bergen County event and wedding venue, now has large new architectural skylights providing natural light to the interior space. The five structural skylights were custom designed and fabricated by GAMCO Corp., one of the New York metro region’s leading fenestration and architectural metals specialty suppliers. The Rockleigh is located at 26 Paris Ave.

The installation of the five GAMCO skylights, totaling 400 s/f, were part of major renovation and roof replacement work at The Rockleigh, which suffered a serious fire in August 2022. GAMCO’s technical staff worked in close collaboration with the installation team at AAA Metal & Glass to conceive of, design, fabricate, and deliver the aluminum frame skylight units to achieve the owner’s vision and project goals.

For The Rockleigh project, GAMCO used its versatile SK2000 Structural Skylight product in a double pitch with hip-ends configuration. The custom-sized aluminum frame SK2000 features 30-degree pitch angles, strong 0.125” aluminum extrusion components with integral condensate gutter pockets. The five equal-size 71” x 155” skylights used 2” x 3-½” base profiles and 2” x 2” rafter components. The GAMCO skylights were curb mounted on five separate roof openings. All the GAMCO SK2000 skylight system aluminum components received a durable factory applied white paint finish.

The skylights for The Rockleigh project were specified with one inch glazing pockets. Insulated laminated glass units were supplied by others and field installed. The GAMCO SK2000 Skylight System secures the insulated glass units in place with gaskets and pressure bars with snap-on covers.

Project partners, besides The Rockleigh owners and management, include AAA Metal & Glass of Paterson, a premier regional fenestration firm, and insulated glass fabricator Opulux Glass.
