Terrace Access Rooflights

Having outdoor living space is an important consideration for modern homes. With space often at a premium, especially in urban locations like central London, a roof terrace will allow you to make the most of an otherwise unused area and provide a desirable outdoor space, and is an opportunity to gain valuable outdoor space without extending the physical boundaries of the property.

With almost 30 years of experience, Glazing Vision are industry leaders in the design and manufacture of precision engineered rooflights that provide seamless access to roof spaces. Our range of access rooflights including sliding, hinged, and boxed configurations are designed not only for ease of access, but also to maximise natural daylight and integrate into any modern or traditional architectural endeavor.

Extending Upwards

Making the most of useable space in your building can yield big rewards. In London the presence of a roof terrace or balcony typically adds 12% to the value of a property, rising to as much as 25% in coveted Chelsea.

Roof terraces and gardens are often more private and less likely to be overlooked, and they can offer outstanding views of the city where space is at a premium. We offer a range of access rooflights including the Skydoor Hinged Access Rooflight, the Three Wall Box Rooflight, and the Free Standing Skybox Rooflight.

More Than Just a Rooflight

The Skydoor Rooflight is designed for day to day access to your roof space, ideal for terrace areas on flat roofs. Operated by our intelligent LED control switch, the unit will respond to both one touch and press and hold requests. The Skydoor opens out to an impressive 87° at full travel by means of synchronised dual actuators but you can also stop the unit at any point mid travel which means it can be used as a natural ventilation rooflight too.

Our Three Wall Box Rooflight is affixed to your building, offering an almost seamless integration into your building fabric. We have manufactured and installed countless numbers of these units, predominantly in urban city environments where space is limited and home owners turn to maximising their roof space.

The Freestanding Box Rooflight can be manufactured to larger sizes without compromising on performance. Glazed on all sides, the Freestanding Box ensures maximum daylight ingress into the room below as well as a more sleek and contemporary aesthetic.

A sophisticated design is key, but so is safety; Safety features include an anti slip tread plate and intelligent proximity detectors which will sense any movement beneath the opening section when in motion and prevent the lid from closing until the switch is engaged again.
