Choosing the right rooflight to suit your needs can be complex – and this is where we can help.
In order to aid the decision-making process, we have put together a brief guide outlining the range of polycarbonate and glass rooflights that are available:
Glass Rooflights
Generally, a glass rooflight is only suitable when used in conjunction with flat panes, insulated units or if attached to a glazing bar system. If choosing a glass rooflight, considerations should be taken in regards to the weight of the rooflight itself which can often be in excess of 40kg/sq.m. Therefore, it is important to check that the structure will support the glass rooflight, particularly if it is a large rooflight.
Resistant to UV degradation, glass offers an ideal futureproof solution as aesthetically it will not suffer from weather exposure.
Direct Rooflight offers a range of high quality double and triple glazing compliant solutions that are very competitive in price. Within our glass rooflight range we offer the following:
- Duraglaze Glass Rooflight
- Duraglaze P Glass Rooflight
- Duraglaze T Glass Rooflight
- Duraglaze Plus Glass Rooflight
Polycarbonate Rooflights
As a thermoplastic material, polycarbonate can be reformed, for example into a dome shape. Polycarbonate rooflights can be extruded into flat sheets for use in a single bar system as well as into a multiwall-structured sheet.
Polycarbonate rooflights offer excellent performance and boast greater rigidity. With exceptional strength polycarbonate rooflights also offer outstanding resistance when it comes to distributing loads evenly in roofing applications.
Direct Rooflights offer a range of high quality polycarbonate rooflights available in both dome and pyramid shape with a range of ventilation options. Within our polycarbonate rooflight range we offer the following:
