Fabrication record
What aluminium flat rooflights can actually be built to
These are the limits the factory works to, taken from the fabrication data for the system we make this product in. Where a premium route in the same family reaches a better figure, it is shown in the second column and quoted where the project calls for it. Either way this is the envelope, not a quotation: the achievable figures for your opening are confirmed against your drawings and a survey.
| Limit | Standard route | Premium route, where specified |
|---|---|---|
| Frame sightline | 90mm | |
| Panels per unit | 1 to 4 | |
| Panel width | 350 to 1200mm | |
| Height | 400 to 2400mm | |
| Maximum panel weight | 120kg | |
| Glazing unit | 24 to 44mm | |
| Glazing options | Double | Double or triple |
| U-value | At quoteDepends on the glass, size and configuration | |
| Security | Fixed structural-glazed rooflight (not a security-rated opening). |
Configurations available
- Kerb-mounted structural-glazed rooflight
- 2-sided / 4-sided structural silicone glazed
- single-bay and multi-bay (rafter-bar) configurations
- suitable for slopes up to 15 degrees (recommended installed slope 3-5 degrees over the kerb).
Any security rating above is the tested performance of the system, held by the system manufacturer. VitrineAlu fabricates to the tested configuration and the test evidence belongs to the system it was tested on. Evidence for the configuration you specify is sent at quote.

How we specify
The right product route is chosen per project
Exact specification (U-value, sizes, weights, security class, finish) is confirmed per project at quote, selected to suit the trade brief.
It means you lead with the outcome: light, security, clean sightlines, usable openings, buildable details and a specification that suits the drawings.
More on how routes are specified: security and PAS 24 routes and energy efficiency and U-values.
Common questions
What U-value does a flat rooflight reach?
Thermally broken aluminium flat rooflights take double or triple glazing, and the whole-unit U-value depends on that glass. Because a rooflight faces straight up it sees more sky and more solar gain than a window, so the glass specification carries most of the result. We confirm the figure for your unit at quote.
Are your flat rooflights fixed, or do they open?
The flat rooflights we supply are fixed units, quoted from drawings. That keeps the sightline low and the detail simple where the rooflight is there for daylight rather than ventilation. If the room needs ventilation as well, tell us at quote and we will spec it into the wider opening schedule instead.
What do you need to quote a flat rooflight?
The structural opening size, the kerb detail and the roof build-up, then the finished size, glass and finish you want. Kerb detail matters most - it sets how the unit sits, how it weathers and the finished internal sightline. Send those through quote.
Can I get solar control, privacy or safety glass in a rooflight?
Yes. Solar control glass is worth specifying on a south-facing flat roof, privacy interlayers where the rooflight is overlooked, and laminated or toughened panes where the build-up or the room below calls for it. Tell us the thermal target and any solar-control, privacy or safety-glass requirement and we confirm the make-up at quote.
Can I order a flat rooflight on its own?
Flat rooflights are supplied as a package add-on to a wider trade glazing order rather than as a single-item purchase. Add them to the same schedule as the doors and windows for the project and they are quoted, fabricated and delivered together. Send the schedule through quote.
