Description

The Kestrel Thermal Flat Top Rooflight System is suitable for most standard flat roof constructions and covering, e.g. lead, copper, zinc, sedum, rubber EPDM, asphalt, GRP fibreglass.


Available in three different designs; Fixed, Ventilation or Egress. The system has been designed to allow the glass to be removed in the event of double glazed unit failure. Using a removable PVC cassette to which the glass is bonded, it is mechanically fixed to the frame, therefore only the cassette will need replacing in the event of glass replacement.
