Triple-glazed, thermally broken, and NBC 2020 structural load-tested daylighting systems tailored for North American climates.
Established in 2014, Wuhan Fortis Building Technology Co., Ltd. spans an expansive production space of 38,000 square meters. Rooted in 12 years of specialized manufacturing experience and 9 years in international export operations, our annual export revenue reaches $34 million. We primarily serve real estate developers, hotel construction companies, and hardware distributors across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
Product reliability is assured by 48 certified QC specialists executing structural stress tests, hardware cycle endurance checks, and salt spray corrosion testing. With a robust network of 950 supply chain suppliers, Fortis provides customized solutions ranging from motorized sliding mechanisms to ultra-narrow frame sightlines. Powered by 60 R&D engineers, the company introduced 75 new energy-efficient window models last year.
Strategic analysis of climate adaptation, structural load compliance (NBC 2020), and energy conservation targets across Canadian provinces.
In regions such as Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Northern Ontario, exterior temperatures routinely plummet to -40°C. Standard aluminum profiles act as thermal bridges, creating interior frost and structural condensation damage. Fortis structural skylights utilize multi-chambered polyamide thermal breaks (PA66 GF25) coupled with Warm-Edge TGI spacers, effectively preventing thermal transfer and ensuring interior frame temperatures remain comfortably above the dew point.
The National Building Code of Canada (NBC 2020) imposes rigorous ground snow load (Ss) and rain load (Sr) calculations. Skylight glazing in Vancouver or Toronto must withstand structural snow accumulative pressures exceeding 3.0 kPa to 5.2 kPa. Our engineered skylight profiles feature reinforced structural steel cores and laminated toughened security glass layers, verified by 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
With Canada's commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, commercial building retrofits demand daylighting systems that minimize operational artificial lighting load while avoiding unwanted summer solar heat gains. By customizing Solar Heat Gain Coefficients (SHGC) between 0.22 and 0.38 via double silver Low-E soft coatings, Fortis skylights optimize annual operational energy performance for Canadian commercial properties.
Every skylight unit undergoes rigorous automated fabrication, structural bonding, and multi-stage quality testing within our 38,000m² intelligent production line.
Tailored supply chain workflows, compliance verification, and structural design support for Canadian general contractors and developers.
Large-span commercial atriums require rigorous deflections analysis under heavy wind load conditions. Fortis engineering team collaborates directly with Canadian structural consultants, providing full CAD/BIM modeling, structural glass thickness calculation (in accordance with ASTM E1300), and custom extruded aluminum mullions capable of spanning up to 8 meters without intermediate steel support.
Modern Canadian commercial properties demand automated natural ventilation to minimize HVAC reliance during shoulder seasons. Fortis skylight systems feature hidden micro-actuators compatible with BACnet, KNX, and Modbus protocol automation. Synchronized sensors monitor rain, wind velocity, indoor CO2 levels, and temperature differentials, executing automatic opening and sealing cycles.
Pioneering sustainable architectural envelopes for the next era of Canadian zero-carbon construction.
Eliminate mechanical blinds entirely. Our R&D team is integrating electrochromic dynamic glass technology that transitions from clear to tinted state upon application of low-voltage electrical current, dynamically managing glare and solar heat gain in real-time.
Transforming roof glazing from energy sinks into energy generators. Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) semi-transparent skylight units allow up to 40% visible light transmittance while capturing solar energy to power building lighting and ventilation systems.
In partnership with material laboratories, Fortis is developing Silica Aerogel filled double and triple insulated glass units, pushing skylight thermal resistance (R-value) up to R-12, matching the performance of standard insulated roof structures.
