Expert Window Installers in Leicester

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.

We recommend that our flat skylights are installed with a minimum five degree pitch. This angle is enough to ensure that rain water will run off the surface of the skylight rather than pooling. If your flat roof does not already have a five degree pitch, the angle will need to be achieved by creating a small timber frame.

For our Slimline roof lanterns, we can go up to 2000m in width for a length up to 4000mm. For lengths between 4000mm and 6000mm, our maximum width is 1600mm. For units exceeding 6000mm in length, our maximum width is 1200mm. Please note, larger roof lanterns do require the introduction of additional glazing bars.
