Description

Bespoke continuous rooflights available in low rise (1/5 or 1/8 width) and high rise (1/2 width) profiles, for spans up to 4.5m.

On the solid glazed units the glazing is supplied in factory assembled cassettes. On the multiwall structured glazed units the glazing bars are secured to the sill section utilizing bolt tensioning system. This eliminates the need for fixings across glazing bars and provides a framework enclosing all four sides of the glazing.
