Rooflights and Skylights - Skydoor Hinged Rooflights
Introduction | Features | Options | Specifications | Installation
Introduction
The traditional Skydoor Hydraulic Hinged skylight can be supplied with a single or double leaf, either as a stand alone unit on a flat or sloping roof. The hydraulic actuation system needs to be used on any hinged rooflight above 3 square metres, and can open to 90 degrees for access. A manual override operation can be interated into the rooflight making it ideal for a Succah rooflight. A high performance safety glass is flush fixed and factory bonded wherever possible, giving a clean flush all-glass appearance to the outside, hence its suitability for low pitch and flat roof applications. Often specified for ambience and access where a full opening is required and no roof parking space is available for a sliding rooflight option. For roof terrace access applications the hinged panels can also act as safety balustrades in the fully open position.
Rooflight is factory pre-assembled, tested and delivered ready for a speedy and simple fixing operation. Opening mechanisms are normally concealed within the framework giving an unobstructed daylight view.
