Hornsey Lane

The client wanted access to a roof terrace via a sliding rooflight, the site was very tight with no possibility of using a crane, we provided genuine first, a ‘manual’ sliding rooflight, normally sliding rooflights are electric.

Easier Access To Roof Terrace to Utilise Roof Space More Fully

The Challenge

The homeowner wanted to gain greater access to their roof terrace than their Access Hatch offered them. They had a very tight space in which to make improvements plus restrictions which included the visibility of revisions from pavements. On top of this there was no way in which to use a crane, the normal method, to install a Sliding Rooflight.

The Solution

We worked directly with both the Architects practice and the homeowner, to make a bespoke solution that was exactly as initially visualised.

Our manual sliding rooflight, a first, as they are normally electric, was able to get around the need to use a crane. We supplied the manual sliding rooflight in sections and we expertly assembled this on site. The glass was split into two sections with a mullion support (a slender vertical division) which reduced the weight of individual items.
The rooflight itself was 2000mm (2.0m) x 1800mm (1.8m), and it used a solar control outer pane with a laminated inner pane. These features helped with thermal performance, safety and security.

With this innovative solution this meant our client could maximise their roof terrace where they could enjoy this space with family and friends.

Whether you’re at planning or construction stage why not see how we could help you add natural light and space to your home; you can call us on 01223 792244 or pop us an email via [email protected] outlining what help you need.

In our clients words:

We recently had the pleasure of working with Next Generation Rooflights on the design, manufacture and installation of a large bespoke mono pitch atrium rooflight. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. The rooflight itself was perfectly tailored to our specifications and enhances the natural light in the space beautifully. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship is evident, and we have received numerous compliments on the stunning design. We were particularly impressed with the team's commitment to meeting our deadlines and their ability to navigate the complexities of the project with ease. Their communication was clear and consistent, ensuring that we were always informed and confident in the progress. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend Next Generation Rooflights for any rooflight installations. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.

We've been working with the team for quite some years and find their customer care second to none. The products are always on point and manufacturing is flawless. Communication is always swift and informative. All we really want in the rooflight world is, quick answers, good prices, great products, and delivery on time. They tick all these boxes.
