From modular rooflights to bespoke large area roof glazing systems...
...our product range covers virtually every option for introducing natural light to the built environment.
Our glass and polycarbonate rooflights and skylights are manufactured under ISO9001 quality management and are fully compliant with all relevant standards.
We are amongst the UK’s leading innovators in rooflights and skylights, offering exciting new developments including ultra energy-efficient Nanogel® filled rooflights, Cool & Clear solar control rooflights and our exciting new RG Flatglaze® Modular rooflights.
Call us today to discuss your project. Draw on our experience in all aspects of daylighting, from aesthetics to technical specification and standards compliance.
Roofglaze achieves CWCT Standard for non-fragility of glass rooflights.
The safety of operatives working on a roof is of paramount importance, during building and routine maintenance.
The ACR (Advisory Committee for Roofsafety) method of non-fragility testing is applicable to all roofing products and it is an important consideration. However, the test was developed without input from the glass industry.
Glass roofing has traditionally been considered to be fragile. In recent years there has been a move to using non fragile forms of roof construction hence the fragility of glass roofing has had to be considered. More
Rooflights and The Building Regulations Part L
Building Regulation Part L was introduced in the year 2000, to bring about control for the Conservation of fuel and power. The latest revision came into effect on 1 October 2010.
The energy efficiency of a building is usually calculated using specific calculation software, such as the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM).
Using input data for the overall building design and specific elements of the construction, SBEM calculates an emissions rate for the building. A rooflight is not a thermal element of the building, its’ U-value will always be higher than that of the surrounding roof, however, it helps to reduce the energy consumption of the building by reducing the need for artificial light and providing heat to the building by solar gain.

Rooflights save energy and reduce carbon emissions
The primary reason for including rooflights is to provide a bright, naturally lit interior and reduce the requirement for artificial lighting. Daylight has many advantages over artificial light - not least the fact that it is a completely free, unlimited natural resource. Whilst artificial light is essential, it’s provision uses a lot of energy, so reducing the requirement will dramatically cut energy use and CO2 emissions. More>
