For the ultimate in terrace access we manufacture sliding box skylights with 50%-clear openings. We’ve installed free-standing box rooflights, our standard three-wall versions and even custom-built box rooflights fixed to two walls or one, on roof terraces all over the world.
Easy access and precision engineering Operated at the touch of a button, the user simply climbs the stairs whilst the rooflight is retracting into its open position and then walks straight out onto the terrace. As with our flat sliding rooflights, the box skylights are quiet in operation and have built in electronic solid-state controls with battery backup, manual override, speed control and creep sealing as standard. Every unit is factory-preassembled and tested, and can usually be craned into position, fitted and commissioned within a day.
Box rooflight technology Our latest generation of box rooflights are all available with high performance triple glazing and thermally broken framework so you can be assured that the thermal performance of this unit is unrivalled in its class. Built in infra red proximity detectors and current override technology are included as standard features and should be considered essential with access products. Framework is minimal and glass to glass joints are an outstanding feature, helping to retain the rooflights contemporary aesthetic. Security has been upgraded with the standard addition of solenoid security bolts ensuring that the rooflight remains secure in all situations. Glazing Vision box rooflights offer full connectivity to rain sensors, thermostat, remote control and Building Management Systems.
Flush glaze Flush glazed leading edges allow water run-off and easy cleaning, while maintaining maximum security. The glass is always heat soak tested toughened safety glass and these rooflights are considered a physical structure so there is no additional requirement for balustrading around the rooflight.
Variety of configurations Box rooflights can be manufactured in a variety of configurations but will generally consist of one sliding section of glass moving over a fixed section. We manufacture two standard configurations, a freestanding box which features glazing on all sides and a three wall box which is designed to be shrouded by the walls of the building itself.
