Rooflights

Skyhatch manual is an entry level access rooflight and does not require any power, used where access to the roof space is less frequent and is commonly installed for maintenance access. Opens to a maximum 75° at full travel but unlike the electric version it cannot be partially opened so is not designed to act as a ventilation rooflight. Gas strut opening mechanisms feature calibrated spring assisted openings, grab handles are mechanically fixed to the frame itself for added strength and durability.

For extra security and improved weather performance an all new multi point locking system has been developed so that the lid section is locked at either end of the rooflight. The extruded aluminium framework is thermally broken and supplied as standard in dual colour Qualicoat approved powder coat.

This rooflight can be supplied with a laminated inner pane which has been attack tested to LPS2081 Issue 1: 2015 and rated Secured by Design.

Skyhatch electric is an access unit primarily, opening to a maximum 80° at full travel and can be stopped at any point to serve as a natural ventilation rooflight. The extruded aluminium framework is thermally broken and supplied as standard in dual colour Qualicoat approved powder coat. Power is supplied by an external 24V 300W supply as standard and the rooflight is operated by the intelligent LED wall switch supplied. Dual lift twin mechanisms provide reliable and stable support for the lid section when fully open, the Skyhatch offers full connectivity to rain sensor, thermostat and Building Management Systems and is available with remote control.

This rooflight can be supplied with a laminated inner pane which has been attack tested to LPS2081 Issue 1: 2015 and rated Secured by Design.

Operated by concealed 24v or 230v electric chain actuators, Roofglaze's Flatglass slide-open rooflights are ideal for providing ventilation or roof access in areas where high wind loadings may occur, making hinged rooflights unsuitable.

Our walk-on specification rooflights are available in a range of standard kerb sizes:
Single pane - up to 1.2 x 3 m or 3.6 m², larger sizes are to special order. Multi-pane - up to 2.4 m slope span, unlimited length with bays at up to 1.2 m centres.
