A range of Standard Sliding Rooflights has been designed to offer the customer a more cost effective alternative to our bespoke sliding rooflight range.


The GV Standard Sliding Over Roof Rooflight, retracts in one-panel onto the roof creating a 100% clear opening. All the glass used is flush to allow water run off and easy cleaning.


All Glazing Vision sliding rooflights are low-noise in operation and have built in electronic solid-state controls with battery back-up, manual override, speed control and creep-speed sealing at end of travel as standard. Units are factory pre-assembled and tested, usually craned into position, fitted and commissioned within day.


The rooflight is opened electrically, operated by a rocker switch positioned at the discretion of the client. It includes a ‘one touch’ facility, where the switch is pressed then released leaving the rooflight to open automatically. If you wish the unit to stop, press close once. If you wish to have the unit only part open, you can keep the switch pressed until this point is reached. We also offer completely custom-built sliding skylights. It’s tempting to say that if you can imagine it, we can build it; that the sky’s the limit. In fact, the laws of physics are the limit. But our design engineers get a buzz from a challenge, so let your imagination – and ours – run riot. The Glass house project is a great example, we supplied a bespoke sliding over roof glass rooflight ensuring maximum daylight and ventilation whilst adding to the minimalist nature of the building design.


We like to apply our minimum framework, maximum daylight beliefs to even the most challenging of bespoke sliding roof designs. It’s usually the flood of natural light to the building below that’s a priority for architects and building users alike. That said, if you need a solid sliding rooflight that opens to reveal a 100% clear opening to the sky, we can design that too.
