Access
The Glazing Vision Free Standing Skybox is a premium architectural glass rooflight designed to bring an abundance of natural daylight into your space while providing you with effortless access to your roof terrace.
Unlike other Box rooflights, the FreeStanding Skybox does not require additional support structures, making it ideal for architectural projects where a self-contained, standalone solution is required.
The FreeStanding Box has been constructed with safety and security in mind; Built in proximity detectors are available as a standard option and should be considered essential with access products. Security has been upgraded with the standard addition of solenoid security bolts ensuring that the rooflight remains secure in all situations.
