Rooflights Loft conversions are proving increasingly popular with homeowners, providing not only additional living space but also helping to increasing the property value. Consequently there is a trend for large roof lights and dormer windows, allowing light to flood into the roof space.

Creating a light well by using glass in the roof is a popular way of introducing light to central areas of a building. In addition to the normal considerations of thermal and solar-control, we need to consider the safety of the overhead glazing. If the glass forms part of an accessible roof area then it may need to be treated as a glass floor.

Specially designed for conservatories and large glazed areas, Pilkington Activ SunShade™ is perfect for use in both the roof and verticals. It uses daylight and rainwater to break down and wash away organic dirt from exterior surfaces, making it ideal for hard-to-clean areas.

Solar Control Glass The increased use of glass in architecture today makes it imperative to consider the comfort of a building's occupants. Solar control glass can be an attractive feature of a building whilst at the same time minimising, or even eliminating the need for an air conditioning system, reducing running costs of the building and saving energy.
