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.
Features and benefits:
- Walk on glass option available.
- Ventilation – fully concealed chain drive actuators 24v or 230v.
- Egress – operated by gas springs and espagnolette locking system.
- Stepped edge units used to reduce glass breakage due to thermal fracture.
- Wide range of sizes.
- Minimal glazing bars to maximise natural light.
- For fixed glazing a Rafter Bar option is available for longer runs of flat glazing.
- Factory finished fully watertight product with a high-quality elegant appeal.
- Narrow sightlines providing a look of a frameless system from the inside.
- Dual colour powder coating available.
- Made to measure, bespoke service.
- Low profile, secure, thermally efficient.
- Easily assembled on-site, easily transportable.
- Will accept standard Flush Glazed units
