Contemporary Design with Leading Thermal Properties
The Panotrade rooflight is the only true seamless glass rooflight. Designed in such a way, that unlike most roof-lights, which have an aluminium kerb, it has no joints anywhere, just a seamless piece of glass.
Once fitted, the timber kerb will be fully encapsulated on all sides, so just like the roof joists, it can not be seen, whether you are using a felt, fibre-glass or EPDM roof covering.
Our fixed rooflight units have an excellent U-Value rating of just 0.83 W/m²K, (a measure of heat transmission through a window). Building regulations stipulate the U-Value must be under 1.5 W/m²K, with lower numbers indicating better insulating properties. At 0.83 W/m²K, Panotrade’s rooflights are one of the most efficient on the market!
We can 100% Guarantee the skylight will not leak….EVER!!
Warranty:
All our Rooflights come with a 20 year warranty.

Fitting Instructions
Fitting Instructions
Purchase your rooflight size, determined by the internal structural viewing area / opening size of the aperture in your roof. For example, if you have cut out a 1000mm x 1000mm square hole in your roof, you need to purchase our 1000mm x 1000mm rooflight.
You are required to build an upstand, which should measure 70mm(W) x at least 80mm(H). Building regulations require rooflights to be at least 150mm(H) from the finished roof. Refer to photos above.
To allow water to run off the glass, we suggest you create a gradient of 50mm for every linear metre, run in line with the fall of your roof. This also enables the self cleaning glass to work efficiently and to ensure there will be no ‘pooling’ of water forming in the middle of the rooflight. A simple water test is suggested before you bond the unit on to kerb.
All our rooflights come with a FREE, treated, easy-fit, rebated timber kerb, made from 70mm x 70mm square timber, with a 25mm(W) x 38mm(H) rebate. This is fixed on top of your builder’s up-stand.
When covering the roof with fibre glass, (GRP), EPDM rubber sheeting, or a felt based finishing, run along the roof, covering horizontally and then move up vertically along the base of the rooflight and level to the top of the up-stand and our timber kerb. It is important not to overlap the top edge of the kerb, keep this wood bare for the adhesive silicone to be applied later. Once the rooflight is placed into position, the wooden up-stand will be totally encapsulated, rendering the framework invisible.
Internally, fix a plasterboard stop bead, approximately 5mm below the bottom pane of glass. Next, run your plasterboard reveal all around, again rendering all framework invisible.
The stepped rooflight is then bonded into the kerb with a good low modulus glazing silicone. We suggest using at least one tube for every linear metre, applying copious amounts on the along the top edge of the kerb. Important: Using anything other than low modulus silicone will void your skylight warranty. Please refer to our shop for further details, or contact us for more details on the correct silicone to use.
Remove the rooflight from its crate and lower into the aperture, applying gentle pressure so the silicone is squeezed out. It is vitally important there are no ‘pin holes’, where water may ingress.
When installed, the external visible glass, (with the black edge border), will overhang the kerb, allowing rain water to simply run off.
