Here are four well-researched questions and answers for your interview with Chris Willingham and Deric Chawk on Kennedy Skylights:

1. What makes Kennedy Skylights stand out compared to other skylight brands?

Chris Willingham: Kennedy Skylights sets itself apart with its high-quality craftsmanship, all-aluminum frames, and superior leak-proof design. Unlike other skylights that use plastic or weaker materials, Kennedy Skylights are built with durable extruded aluminum, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion.

Deric Chawk: Another key factor is their tempered, laminated, and impact-rated glass. Many competitors still use acrylic domes, which can discolor or crack over time, but Kennedy’s glass options provide better clarity, UV protection, and durability. This makes them perfect for both residential and commercial applications, especially in areas prone to severe weather.

2. Why should contractors and homeowners purchase Kennedy Skylights through Premium Roofing Products?

Deric Chawk: As a distributor, we provide contractor-level pricing on Kennedy Skylights, meaning our customers get access to better deals than if they bought directly from retail. This allows contractors to increase their profit margins while still offering high-quality products to their clients at competitive prices.

Chris Willingham: Plus, buying through a distributor like Premium Roofing Products ensures faster availability and expert support. We carry a wide range of Kennedy Skylight models and accessories, so whether a contractor needs a fixed, venting, or impact-rated skylight, we have the right solution ready to go.

3. How do Kennedy Skylights help improve energy efficiency in a home?

Chris Willingham: Kennedy Skylights are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Their LoĒ³-366® insulated glass helps block heat transfer, keeping homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This reduces the need for excessive air conditioning or heating, ultimately lowering energy bills.

Deric Chawk: Also, their thermal break technology ensures that the aluminum frame doesn’t conduct heat into the home, which is a big improvement over traditional skylights. Homeowners looking for natural light without the extra heat gain will really appreciate the efficiency of Kennedy Skylights.

4. What options are available for customers looking for skylights that can withstand extreme weather conditions?

Chris Willingham: Kennedy Skylights offers impact-rated skylights, which are designed to meet Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval standards. These skylights are built with hurricane-resistant laminated glass, making them ideal for coastal areas and regions prone to storms.

Deric Chawk: We also provide custom flashing kits and curb-mounted options that enhance the weather resistance of these skylights. Contractors working on projects in high-wind zones can confidently install Kennedy Skylights knowing they meet strict building codes and provide long-term durability.
