Rooflight Materials

All rooflights will require an element of cleaning as normal windows would. As a product that is fitted to the exterior of a property rooflights are susceptible to dirt debris and pollution build up which may affect the clarity of your glass skylight.  We are able to supply glass rooflights with an ‘easy-clean coating’ which can make the cleaning process easier. We would recommend thorough cleaning at least bi-annually using water and non-abrasive cleaners.  Full product specific maintenance information is available for each skylight we supply.

Modern domed rooflights are manufactured from hardwearing polycarbonate and all have a UV protective coating to stop them discolouring in the sun.  Previously dome skylights were commonly made from acrylic which would turn brown after years exposure to sunlight often leaving the rooflight looking unsightly.  Polycarbonate domes are guaranteed against discolouration for 20 years however they are expected to exceed this so you can feel safe in the knowledge that your rooflight will look exceptional for years to come.  For the UV coating to be effective the dome or pyramid must not be scratched or harmed in any way which may damage the UV coating.
