Roof Deck Access Rooflights | Glazing Vision Glass Rooflights

Roof Deck Access Skylights

Having an outdoor living space is an important consideration for modern homes. With space often at a premium, especially in urban locations like New York, a roof deck allows you to make the most of an otherwise unused area and provide a desirable outdoor space, offering 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 skylights that provide seamless access to roof spaces. Our range of access skylights 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. The presence of a roof deck or balcony typically adds around 5-8% to the value of a property in the United States.

Roof decks 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 skylights, including the Skydoor Hinged Access Skylight, the Three Wall Box Skylight, and the Free Standing Skybox Skylight.

More Than Just a Skylight

The Skydoor Skylight is designed for day to day access to your roof space, ideal for deck 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 skylight too.

Our Three Wall Box Skylight 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.

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.
