Ventilation Solutions for Commercial & High-End residential Projects

Rooflights Providing Essential Ventilation

Ventilation in commercial and high-end residential properties is increasing being utilised through rooflights (also known as skylights) using (often automated) opening mechanisms that allow fresh air to circulate throughout the space within.

Next Generation Rooflights products that can enhance ventilation include:

Manual Hinged Rooflights, these can be opened manually, allowing for natural ventilation by releasing hot air from inside the building and drawing cooler, fresher air in.

Electrically Hinged Rooflights are equipped with electric opening mechanisms, they are controlled via a smart switch, enabling operation via your smartphone.

Multi panel fixed Rooflights can have built-in vents to regulate airflow, without the entire rooflight needing to open; this can help manage air exchange.

Sliding Rooflights, are the ideal solution where there is a larger ventilation requirement, equipped with electric opening mechanisms controlled via a smart switch.

Our products can also be used as ventilation solutions in:

Natural Stack Effect Ventilation, where Rooflights are positioned at a higher level in the building help the “stack effect,” where warm air naturally rises and escapes through the rooflight, pulling cooler air into the building from lower windows or doors, thereby promoting cross ventilation.

Hybrid Ventilation Systems where rooflights are integrated with the ventilation system so that a combination of natural and mechanical ventilation, meaning the building can switch to passive cooling using rooflight ventilation when conditions are favourable.

Importance of Ventilation in Commercial and high-end residential properties:

Air Quality, proper ventilation helps to remove indoor pollutants, odours, moisture, and carbon dioxide, improving overall indoor air quality. This is particularly important in high-end residential properties and commercial properties (where people work or visit), as poor air quality can lead to discomfort, lethargy and impact on mental health.

Regulation of Temperature, ventilation helps regulate indoor temperature by releasing hot air and bringing in cooler outdoor air which can reduce costs associated with mechanical air conditioning and improver energy consumption and increase sustainability.

Condensation Control, ventilation can reduce condensation buildup, which is crucial in preventing mold, dampness, and structural damage over time. This is especially important in kitchens, bathrooms, or spaces with high humidity.

Compliance with Building regulations, increasingly ventilation is now a key requirement in building regulations, for both commercial and high-end residential properties to ensure health and safety standards are met.

Energy Efficiency, using natural ventilation through rooflights, businesses and home owners can reduce their reliance on mechanical cooling and ventilation systems, contributing to better energy efficiency (saving money) and reduced their carbon footprint (saving the planet).

Industry Leading, As standard our rooflights have a fully thermally broken frame, a solar control outer pane and use laminated safety glass on the inner. These features help with thermal efficiency, condensation, safety and security.

For your projects, rooflights are an increasingly practical and efficient solution that means you can achieve ventilation in high-end residential projects, where ventilation is essential for air quality, temperature control, energy efficiency, and overall building health (and building regulations).
