Commercial & industrial rooflights for Edinburgh: the essentials
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Edinburgh? The short answer: rooflights for warehouses, schools, offices and retail units. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Short winter days in Scotland make every square metre of overhead glass count, so rooflight sizing matters. Typical uses for commercial & industrial rooflights include warehouses, schools, offices and retail units.
Edinburgh is the main town we list in Edinburgh and the Lothians; we also cover nearby Musselburgh and Dalkeith.
What you can choose
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- Polycarbonate domes
- Modular glass rooflights
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Smoke-vent options where needed
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
What to check first
- Non-fragility classification should be confirmed for new products
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
Rules and responsibilities in Edinburgh
On commercial roofs the main questions are usually building control, fire classification of rooflight materials and safe access rather than householder permitted development. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For non-domestic buildings in Scotland, the non-domestic Technical Handbook (section 6) sets the energy standards for rooflights; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building warrant. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
