 | Roof Maker, the UK’s leading manufacturer of skylights and roof lanterns, has launched a revolutionary new Hinged Opening Flat Rooflight, believed to be the lightest and most energy efficient product of its kind on the market. |
Its unique design incorporates industry leading Heat-Mirror© technology, a new generation high tech low-emissivity film, which reduces the weight of triple glazing by 33% for easy handling, increasing the potential to create larger glazed areas.
Designed to exceed Passivhaus standards, the Heat-Mirror® IG units are constructed with British Standard triple safety glass and energy efficient low e glazing, delivering centre-of-glass u-values as low as 0.3W/m²k. Furthermore, the units combine with Roof Maker’s super-insulated composite kerb design with its unique phenolic foam core, to achieve an overall product u-value of 0.6 W/m²k - the best on the market for any opening rooflight.
In addition to their outstanding energy saving performance, the glazed units include a 100% uv light block as standard to help protect furniture plus a Blue Tint option which will block over 95% of the sun’s infrared (IR) heat transmission to reduce dazzle and overheating.
For superior weather resistance, the frameless structural glazing ensures that any water runs off without obstruction and the opening aluminium lid is fully welded for guaranteed waterproofing.
With its sleek satin black polyester powder coated finish and narrow profiles, this hinged rooflight has an attractive contemporary appearance.
The heavy-duty actuators are neatly concealed within the kerb and the lid opens up smoothly via a wall mounted rocker or switch, remote control or rain sensor to allow natural air conditioning.
As with all Roof Maker skylights and roof lanterns, the new Hinged Opening Flat Rooflight comes with a 20 year unit seal warranty.
“With its pioneering technology, this new generation of lightweight hinged openers sets new standards of energy efficiency, offering all round performance and value for money to customers,” said Chris Anthony, Sales Director at Roof Maker.
