Strong by choice
Ideal for rooflights, polycarbonate is a highly functional, thermally efficient and cost-effective material, making it perfect for rooflight applications. This Class B ‘non-fragile’ material can be easily moulded into a range of shapes and sizes, such as domes, pyramids and trapezoids, while remaining both lightweight and retaining its impact strength. Rooflights & Skylights polycarbonate rooflights are manufactured from ‘enhanced’ polycarbonate, which is resistant to the effects of aggressive weathering. This means that the rooflights are not susceptible to excessive colour change or loss of light transmission during the warranty period, which is a minimum of ten years.
A clear decision
Rooflights & Skylights offers a choice of glazing options and finishes to suit every project. From single to quad skins, clear glazing to diffused and tinted finishes for increased privacy – our technical team can advise on the best solution for you.
An energy-efficient performer
Rooflights & Skylights range of polycarbonate rooflights offer exceptional thermal performance, which is indicated by the U-Value. Measured in W/m2K, the lower the U-Value, the lower the thermal transmittance and the better insulated the product is. The Rooflights & Skylights range offers U-Values as low as 0.4W/m2K, which helps keep warmth in during winter and heat out during summer. Triple and quad glazed units can achieve particularly low U-Values. As a guide, Part L Building Regulations stipulate a maximum U-Value of 2.2W/m2K for non-domestic applications and 1.8W/m2K for refurbished or domestic projects.
Now add fresh Air
Not only do polycarbonate rooflights offer the significant benefit of letting daylight flood into a building, but they let fresh air in, too. There are ventilation options to suit each project. Rotary or hinged ventilation solutionsare available which can be either controlled manually or electrically, depending on the level of access to the rooflight. Additionally, should your rooflight need to be used as an access point to a flat roof, an access hatch can be fitted.
Safe and secure!
Rooflights & Skylights solutions are fitted with tamper-proof screwbolt fixings as standard, which prevents removal with traditional tools. They are also designed to protect the glazing from excess pressure and minimise risk of stress fractures, even if the fixings are overtightened.
