Aluminium Roof Lanterns

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.

Glass rooflights can either be Fragile or Non-Fragile depending on the specification of glass used.  The most robust Non-Fragile glass is Class 0 and the are used in Walk On Glass skylights fitted in areas which a designed to have foot-fall such as a terrace. Class 1 glass is manufactured to be stood on infrequently for areas where occasional access is required for maintenance, they are not however to be used for every-day foot traffic. Class 2 glass is the most commonly used non-fragile classification, these rooflights are designed to stop a person falling through if they were to trip and fall onto the rooflight.  All rooflights have to go through testing to prove they achieve these specific class ratings. Class 3 glass is considered fragile and should only be installed where there is no chance of someone falling through the glass.
