Whatever the specification, the Flushglaze system is designed to be simple to fit, the rooflight frame should drop over the edge of your pre-constructed kerbs and is secured with a combination of poly-butyl tape and wood screws (supplied)

An internally fitted gasket ensures that warm internal air does not make contact with the cooler frame which can result in condensation build up.

walk on specification

The Walk On Flushglaze system is designed to installed in the same way as our other variants, however due to the nature of the product and the likelihood that it will be subjected to foot traffic we recommend installing the rooflight on a minimal 1° fall.

The rooflight frame should drop over the edge of your pre-constructed kerbs and is secured with a combination of poly-butyl tape and wood screws (supplied)

In order to avoid trip hazards decking is commonly used to raise the accessible floor level so that it sits flush with the height of the glass.

The critical dimensions we require when ordering your rooflight External kerb dimension; is a critical dimension for ensuring the rooflight's frame fits over the outside of the kerb. Internal kerb dimension; is a critical dimension for ensuring internal details fit (e.g. glass fins on a Multipart Flushglaze). It is essential that internal finishes are applied after rooflight installation. Structural kerb thickness; is a critical dimension for ensuring the rooflight is suitably supported and any internal frame details do not clash with the kerb (e.g. back-to back support angles on a Multi-Part Flushglaze. Or manual crank handle on a Manual VisionVent). PLEASE PASS THIS TO YOUR BUILDERBuilder to refer to order confirmation for required kerb sizes

installing yourrooflight

Step by step guide to fitting your rooflight

Pre installation kerb checks

After checking you are in receipt of the required installation hardware and rooflight(s) it is important to ensure the area of installation is suitably prepared. The area surrounding the aperture should be clear and provide safe access during the installation works. If working at heights, ensure that all safety systems are in place.

Kerbs should be checked for specification, dimensional accuracy and the correct fall to ensure water does not pond on the surface of the rooflight. All kerbs should be complete and fully weathered prior to installation. If in doubt, please refer to the kerb guide and rooflight section details featured in this manual. If you are happy that the area is suitably prepared and your kerbs are accurate, you can commence with the installation of your rooflight.

We strongly recommend that you ‘dry fit’ the rooflight by placing it onto the kerb before using any of the adhesive tape so that you can ensure that the rooflight fits over the kerb structure.

This is a good opportunity to check for any pinch points and to see if the rooflight frame fouls any adjacent parts of the building structure.

!

step 1

Carefully place the rooflight back onto the kerb, the weight of the unit will ensure enough pressure is applied to compress the butyl tape and form a weatherproof seal. Once in position, remove the clip on covers around the framework (fig. 2)

Once you are happy everything will fit, remove the rooflight and place two runs of butyl tape around the underside of the rooflight using the frame recess as illustrated in the Flushglaze® section detail (fig. 1)

fig. 3

fig. 2

fig. 1

This allows access to pre drilled holes in the extrusion enabling you to fix the rooflight using the wood screws provided. Any clearance between the inner face of the rooflight frame and kerb can be packed out using the horse shoe packers supplied (fig. 3)

step 2

step 3

step 4

maintaining your rooflight

Maintain your rooflight to achieve optimum performance year after year

Safety

Unless you have purchased a Flushglaze® rooflight designed specifically for ‘Walk On’ purposes, you should not walk on the glass surface unless spreader boards are in place. The standard Flushglaze® unit is designed to carry maintenance loads and support the weight of one person only, provided spreader boards are used.

If you have purchased the ‘Walk On’ variant of the Flushglaze® rooflight - extra care should be taken if you are walking on the unit in wet conditions as glass can become slippery.

Cleaning your rooflight

The combination of the Flushglaze’s unique bonding method and a kerb constructed to at least 3° ensures there is no water ponding on the glass avoiding watermarks and unsightly staining. To clean the glass, any standard glass-cleaning product can be used. Routine cleaning of the powder coated finish must be implemented for the warranty to be valid, and a record of cleaning schedules will be required in the case of a claim. This should be done every 6 months.

The best method of cleaning is by regular washing of the coating using a solution of warm water and mild detergent. All surfaces should be cleaned using a soft cloth or sponge, using nothing harsher than natural bristle brushes. If atmospheric pollution has resulted in heavy soiling of the coating, then nothing harsher than white spirit should be used. Under no circumstances should chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, ketones or abrasive cleaners be used.

Routine maintenance

Flushglaze® rooflights are very robust, but we do recommend that a visual inspection of the unit is carried out at least once every 6 months. You should check the external seals for any degradation and also the finish of the powder coated frame for any damage. If you are unable to do this yourself, rooflights.com offer a full service and maintenance contract for peace of mind. Please contact our Customer Service team who will be happy to arrange this for you.

Safe Disposal

There are no hazardous materials used in the construction of the Flushglaze®. When disposing of the rooflight please recycle wherever possible. The following materials are used to construct the unit:

Aluminium extrusion and corner brackets Polyester powder coated finish Stainless steel fixings Butyl Tape Low modulus silicone PVC foam tape Toughened glass panes Polyethylene backing rod Polyurethane adhesive Warm edge spacer bar Acrylic adhesive PVB laminate interlayer (walk on only)
