Open Up Your Roof To The Outdoors

The Glazing Vision Sliding Over Roof Rooflight does exactly what you would expect; the entire section of glazing retracts out onto your roof space, leaving you with open, unimpeded views of the sky above. When closed, the amount of glass is maximised in order to maintain an almost frameless appearance, allowing you to feel connected to the nature outside.
Sliding rooflights add something special to a room, especially when you can open up almost the entire ceiling space to the outdoors, delivering a constantly changing environment within your building at the touch of a button. When opened, the weight of the sliding section is supported by tracks installed on the roof.
For larger glazing requirements, Glazing Vision can design and manufacture a custom version of the Sliding Over Roof, which may require internal supports such as aluminium angles or glass fins.
