What is a rooflight?

A rooflight is a glazed construction installed in the roof to bring natural daylight into a building. Rooflights are often used on flat or low-pitched roofs and can help create brighter, more open and more comfortable indoor environments.

What is the difference between a rooflight and a skylight?

The terms are sometimes used in similar ways. However, rooflight is often used for a fixed or glazed daylight solution, especially on flat roofs. Skylight is a more general term and is often used for windows in pitched roofs, particularly in residential buildings.

For fixed, non-opening products on flat roofs, rooflight is often the more technically correct term.

What is a fixed rooflight?

A fixed rooflight is a non-opening rooflight used to provide natural daylight. As it cannot be opened, it is primarily used for daylight and design, not for ventilation or roof access.

Where are rooflights used?

Rooflights are used in many types of buildings, including residential buildings, offices, schools, commercial properties and public environments. They are particularly common in projects where the aim is to increase daylight in spaces with limited natural light from façade windows.

What are the benefits of a rooflight?

A rooflight can provide even and natural daylight from above. It can help improve the lighting environment, reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day and create a more open feel inside the building. Rooflights are also often used as an architectural feature to add space, character and visual impact to an interior.

Can a rooflight be opened?

Some rooflights are opening, but a fixed rooflight is non-opening. If the product needs to be used for ventilation, smoke ventilation or roof access, a different type of solution is required, such as an opening rooflight, smoke vent or roof hatch.

What does U-value mean for a rooflight?

The U-value indicates how well the rooflight insulates. A lower U-value means better thermal insulation and reduced heat loss through the glazed area. When selecting a rooflight, the U-value is important for the building’s energy performance and indoor comfort.

What is laminated inner glass?

Laminated inner glass consists of two or more panes of glass with an interlayer between them. If the glass is damaged, the interlayer helps hold the glass fragments together, improving safety. Laminated glass is therefore commonly used in rooflights and other overhead glazed constructions.

What does non-fragile rooflight mean?

A non-fragile rooflight is designed and tested to reduce the risk of falling through the glass. This is an important safety feature during installation, operation and maintenance on the roof.

Can rooflights be made to measure?

Yes, many rooflights are available in both standard sizes and project-specific dimensions. Bespoke sizing makes it possible to adapt the rooflight to the building design, desired daylight levels and technical requirements.

Are rooflights available in different colours?

Yes, the frame can often be powder coated in an optional RAL colour. This allows the rooflight to be matched to the roof, façade or other architectural details of the building.

What is solar control glass?

Solar control glass is glass that reduces the amount of solar heat entering through the rooflight. It can help improve indoor comfort, especially in rooms with high levels of direct sunlight or large glazed areas.

What is smart glass or privacy glass?

Smart glass, also known as LCD switchable privacy glass, is electrically controlled glass that can switch between a clear and frosted appearance. It is used when privacy or reduced visibility is required on demand.

Do rooflights require maintenance?

Yes, rooflights should be inspected and cleaned regularly to maintain performance, watertightness and daylight transmission. It is also important to check connections, seals and any fittings as part of the building’s ongoing maintenance.

How is a rooflight installed?

Rooflights are usually installed on an upstand or roof kerb. The exact installation depends on the roof construction, waterproofing membrane, roof pitch and product design. Correct integration with the roof waterproofing is essential to ensure a watertight and long-lasting installation.
