Flat Roof Skylight, Triple Glazed, Toughened Glass, Clear, Self Cleaning
Triple glazed, Toughened, Self-cleaning Skylights. 20 Sizes available in stock and option to order fully custom sizes. Bulk order DISCOUNTS MAY BE APPLIED! Sizes stated are Internal visual glass Size / inside joist size. Skylight 1000mm x 1000mm (that is the Internal visual glass Size / inside joist size). The actual inside glass size will be 1040mm x 1040mm as it sits into the rebate of the kerb that you will build by 20mm to the bottom glass is supported. The top pane of glass will be 1200mm x 1200mm as this goes over you kerb and protrudes 30mm to act as drain drip. Triple Glazed, Toughened Glass. Top Rated for Safety and Security. Safety Glass as standard, designed to prevent glass falling inwards in the event of breakage. Toughened glass is designed to deter intruders as a source of entry and prevent objects/persons falling through. 6mm Outer Glass. 16mm Warm Edge Spacer Bar, filled with Argon Gas. 8mm Inner Laminated Glass, with Low-E Coating. Total Weight 45kg/M². Excellent Thermal and Noise Reduction Qualities. Eco-Friendly – More Natural Light, reducing the requirement of energy draining artificial light. Low U-Value, 0.6 W/m²K. Our Skylights are the most efficient insulators against heat loss from a room. 20 Year Guarantee as Standard – (against condensation). Units arrive Fully Packaged. Price inclusive of VAT. British Standard Compliant. This helps keep heat in and reduces energy bills. Argon is denser and heavier than air and blocks out unwanted UV rays. It also reduces noise levels, ensuring a quieter and peaceful environment. Warm Edge Spacer Bars become a barrier for heat loss, reducing the amount of heat your home loses. The long-lasting performance and cost effective nature of Warm Edge Spacer Bars also reduces the risk of condensation forming at the edge of your sealed unit. The Low-E coating reflects heat back into the room, whilst allowing heat and light from the sun to pass through. When covering the roof with fibre-glass, (GRP), EPDM rubber sheeting, or a felt based finishing, run along the roof, covering horizontally and then move up vertically along the base of the skylight and level to the top of the up-stand and kerb. It is important not to overlap the top edge, keep this wood bare for the silicone to be applied later. Once the skylight is placed into position, the wooden up-stand will be totally encapsulated, rendering the framework invisible. Internally, you fix a plasterboard stop bead approximately 5mm below the bottom pane of glass. Next, run your plasterboard reveal all around, again rendering all framework invisible. The stepped skylight is then bonded into the kerb with a good low modulus glazing silicone. We suggest using at least one tube for every linear metre, applying copious amounts on the top edge and into the rebate. Remove the skylight from its crate and lower into the aperture, applying gentle pressure so the silicone is squeezed out. It is vitally important there are no’pin holes’, where water may ingress. When installed, the external visible glass, (the black edge border), overhangs the kerb for rain water run off. To allow water to run off the glass, we suggest you create a gradient of 50mm for every linear 1000mm, (minimum 3 degrees, preferably 5 degrees), run in line with the fall of your roof. This also enables the self cleaning glass agent to work efficiently and to ensure there will be no’pooling’ of water forming in the middle of the skylight. A simple water test is suggested before you bond in the unit. HOW SELF CLEANING GLASS WORKS. External window cleaning and maintenance has been simplified by the abundance of glass cleaning agents on the market. However, these glass cleaning agents still require sufficient elbow grease to get your windows looking great. The self cleaning Range: A Two Step Cleaning Process. After years of development, the world’s first self-cleaning glass to use a microscopic coating with a unique dual-action. The first stage of the cleaning process is “photo-catalytic”. In this stage the coating reacts with daylight to break down organic dirt. The second stage is “hydrophilic”. Here, instead of forming droplets, rainwater hits the glass and spreads evenly, running off in a “sheet” and taking the loosened dirt with it, also drying quickly without leaving streaks. If the thought of spending endless hours cleaning windows puts you off building a new conservatory or installing skylights then self-cleaning glass is precisely what you need. The U value (W/m2K) is the thermal transmittance of a building element (wall, roof, floor or window). It includes the thermal resistances of all layers (including air cavities) and surfaces resistances at both surfaces of the element. The surfaces resistances account for both convective and long wave radiation between the element surface and the surroundings. The U value is the heat flow Q (W) through the whole area of the element divided by the total area of the element and temperature difference between external and internal environments. It is, therefore, used in building energy calculations i. SAP, SBEM to estimate the total heat loss through the building fabric.
