Commercial & industrial rooflights in Sandown: what is involved?
Thinking about commercial & industrial rooflights in Sandown? 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.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Think of commercial & industrial rooflights for industrial roofs with tired or fragile rooflight sheets.
Sandown sits about 3 km from Shanklin and 9 km from Ryde, and we cover the whole PO36 postcode district and the roads in between.
Choices for your Sandown project
- Continuous barrel-vault rooflights
- GRP or polycarbonate in-plane rooflight sheets
- Modular glass rooflights
- Mesh or grilles under fragile areas
- Smoke and natural ventilation vents
- Daylight that reduces daytime lighting
- Barrel vaults, ridge lights and modular glass
Before you order: points to check
- Fragile rooflights are a known fall hazard — work at height must be planned
- Asbestos surveys may be needed on older roofs
Regulations for commercial & industrial rooflights in Sandown
For non-domestic buildings, planning depends on the building and its location; building regulations cover thermal performance and the fire classification of rooflights near boundaries. Product data for building control is supplied with every quote.
For buildings other than dwellings, Approved Document L Volume 2 sets limiting U-values of 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights and 3.0 W/m²K for roof ventilators, including smoke vents. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
