This seminar explores the specification of rooflights and the key requirements outlined in Approved Document K: Protection from Falling, Collision, and Impact. You’ll gain practical insight into how these regulations shape design choices and ensure safety in modern buildings.By the end of this session, you’ll understand: How Approved Document K influences the specification of access rooflights. The different product types available, their ideal applications, and how intended to be used guide selection. Roof detailing considerations and how rooflight systems integrate with the building fabric. Glass specification, safety performance, and security standards.Important logistics factors to plan for during specification and installation.

This CPD introduces Building Regulations Approved Document Q: Security in Dwellings and explores its relevance to rooflight specification. You’ll learn where and how these regulations apply, and what they mean for safety and compliance in residential design. By the end of the session, you’ll understand: What an Approved Document is and how it fits within Building Regulations.The scope of Approval Document Q in relation to rooflights. Key factors that influence rooflight specification. The recognised safety test standards for glass and which are most relevant to rooflights. Typical glass specifications required to meet Approved Document Q.

This CPD explores the key classifications of glass and the essential testing processes behind them. You’ll gain insight into HSE background and statistics, CWCT glass classifications, Class 0,1,2 and 3 standards, and the fragility tests defined in the Advisory Committee for Roof Safety’s (ACR) Red Book (ACR [M] 001). By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of: Industry statistics and why safety is critical when specifying glass for rooflights.The various rooflight specifications: TN66, TN67, and TN92.The difference between Class 0,1,2, and 3 glass classifications.When and how TN92 should be applied.

In 2021, the UK government sharpened its focus on achieving net zero by 2050 by revamping Building Regulations: Approved Document L - Conservation of Fuel and Power. These critical updates have fundamentally altered building work, from new builds to refurbishments, in England since June 15, 2022. This CPD is your essential guide to navigating these changes, specifically focusing on rooflights and roof glazing. We’ll cut through the complexity, clarifying crucial topics like U-values, updated upstand requirements, the practical difference between a ‘roof window’ and a ‘rooflight’, the role of SAP calculations and notional buildings, and where to access vital supporting documentation.

This seminar provides an in-depth look at rooflight design, performance, and specification. You’ll explore classifications, standards, materials, and practical considerations to ensure safe, efficient, and durable installations. By the end of the session, you’ll understand: The classification and relevant standards that apply to rooflights. Key glass considerations, including specialist glass types suitable for rooflights.Testing requirements and factors influencing thermal performance.The range of opening rooflight options available on the market.Best practices for installation and ongoing maintenance.
