Flat roof
The Glazing Vision Flushglaze Wall Abutted Rooflight is a minimalist fixed rooflight, boasting ‘frameless’ internal views, expertly designed to be structurally fixed to a wall or building on up to three sides.
The wall abutment detail is part of the Flushglaze framework and should be secured using suitable fixings, dependent on the structure being used. The rooflight should always be pitched away from the abutment detail to minimise the risk of water ingress. Once installed, the wall abutment frame should be flashed over to fully weatherproof it.
This detail is available on a number of Glazing Vision Flushglaze Rooflights, including solo and multi-part units, as well as walk on Flushglaze units. It is not currently available on Fire Rated Flushglaze Rooflights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Glazing Vision understands that choosing the right rooflight for your property is an important decision. To help, we've compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our Wall Abutted Flushglaze Rooflight - If you have a question that is not listed here, feel free to contact our experienced team.
Yes, all of our flat rooflights require an upstand, the minimum requirements for your upstand will be outlined in the product data sheets.
Our flat rooflights are measured by their External Kerb Dimensions, which refer to the distance between the external of the kerb to the external of the kerb on all sides.
The width of your kerb varies depending on the product chosen, for example our Fixed Flushglaze will require a minimum structural upstand of 75mm.
Select Glazing Vision flat rooflights can be installed at a pitch of up to 70 degrees such as the Flushglaze Fixed Rooflight, however if your roof pitch exceeds this, you will need to install a roof window.
If you opt for EnduroShield Easy Clean treatment, the chemically bonded treatment will keep the glass clean as any dirt will run off of the glass - An occasional clean with a non abrasive cleaning solution will ensure that the glass looks as good as new.
Overheating is a common concern with rooflights, however opting for a UV/Solar coating will ensure only light can come through the rooflight, reflecting infrared radiation. Another way to combat overheating is installing blinds as these will automatically create a shade for your rooflight.
Yes, all Glazing Vision rooflights are manufactured at our in-house factory in rural Norfolk, this ensures that every rooflight leaving the factory is of the highest quality.
