Bring In Light From Above.
Rooflights can completely change a room, bringing natural light into areas conventional windows simply can’t reach.
From fully framed aluminium rooflights to large bespoke structural glass installations with virtually no visible frame, we can design the solution around your home.
From Framed To Structural Glass
There isn’t one right way to build a rooflight.
Depending on your project, options can include:
- Fully framed aluminium rooflights.
- Large fixed rooflights.
- Multi-pane rooflights.
- Minimal structural glass rooflights.
- Structural glass rooflights supported by glass beams.
- Walk-on glass where required.
- Double or triple glazing.
- Solar-control and specialist glass.
- Opening and ventilation options.
- Bespoke shapes and configurations.
Sometimes a simple framed rooflight is exactly the right solution. For something more architectural, structural glazing can remove much of the visible framework and create an almost uninterrupted area of glass.
Structural Glass Rooflights
Structural glass allows us to take the minimal appearance much further.
For larger rooflights, glass beams can be incorporated to support the glazing while maintaining the all-glass appearance.
Every structural glass rooflight is different, so the glass, support and installation are designed around the building and what you’re trying to achieve.
Big Glass Above Your Head Needs Proper Planning
The larger and more ambitious the rooflight, the more important the details become.
Structure, drainage, solar gain, glass specification, access and how the glass will actually be installed all need considering.
A large rooflight exposed to significant sunlight may also require solar-control glass to help prevent unwanted heat building up inside the room.
These aren’t reasons to compromise the design. They’re simply things worth getting right before the glass is ordered.
Framed rooflights use the same proven aluminium systems we specify across the rest of our work.
Discuss Your Rooflight Project
Whether you’re looking for a simple aluminium rooflight or have something far more ambitious in mind, send us your drawings, dimensions or ideas.
We’ll explain what’s possible and recommend the rooflight solution we genuinely believe is right for your home.
