Access Your Roof Terrace at the Touch of a Button
The Glazing Vision SkyDoor is a fully glazed hinged opening rooflight for regular roof terrace access, operated simply with just the press of a button, allowing you to have safe and easy access to your roof space in less than a minute.
Intelligent actuators ensure synchronised operation between the two supporting mechanisms, so the Skydoor opens to a maximum 87° in one fluid motion, assisted by the intelligent drive opening system. The rooflight can be stopped mid travel, meaning it can be used as a natural ventilation rooflight too.
Our drive opening system, as opposed to folding arm mechanisms seen on many other access rooflights, mean that you have a much clearer exit on to your roof terrace and that much larger sizes can be manufactured as there is less stress on the framework.
As well as the cutting edge operating system, the SkyDoor Access Rooflight includes an overload cut-off, thermally broken framework and a built-in proximity detector for user safety. All control electronics, mechanisms and power supply are completely hidden within the framework resulting in the clean lines and clear views in and out that Glazing Vision are renowned for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can connect your Glazing Vision rooflight to your Building Management System, which allows you to effortlessly and intelligently control the unit.
A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects, the SkyDoor proximity sensors work by emitting a beam which will automatically stop travel of the rooflight when any 'object' disrupts the beam. It is against the Machinery Directive to not include a proximity detector on an access rooflight.
Glazing Vision provides a rain sensor as an optional extra which allows the rooflight to automatically close when rain is detected, allowing your home interior to be protected from the elements.
