Pitched roof windows

The U-value of a product measures how effective its insulation properties are. The lower the U-value, the better the insulation. As a guide, a standard double-glazed window typically has a U-value of 2.8 W/m².

A thermal break is a material with low thermal conductivity placed between conductive materials to reduce or prevent the flow of thermal energy.

In our products, these thermal breaks include resin, silicone and styrofoam, which separate the conductive aluminium components to provide superb thermal insulation

Sound insulation is important when choosing a skylight product. There are four main factors that can limit rain noise:

1. The number of panes of glass — noise levels are reduced with each additional pane;
2. The distance between the panes — the greater this distance, the better your sound insulation will be;
3. The thickness of each pane of glass — thicker panes absorb more noise; and
4. How well your skylight is sealed against the roof.

Many Roof Maker products are triple-glazed as standard with 6mm toughened safety glass and a generous 16mm gap between the panes. Further insulation in the skylight’s structure keeps rain noise to a minimum.

The measurement we work from is the INTERNAL hole size — so measure the size of the hole.

If ordering the hinged version of our LUXLITE™ rooflight, ensure you allow 130mm (in addition to internal size of your roof-light) between your rafters for the roof-light to sit in to.
