Flat rooflights for Buxton homes
A single near-flat pane on an upstand: minimal, low and discreet.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 60.2° high over Buxton, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Minimal, frameless-looking from inside
- Single glazed unit with a slight fall
- Sized to your upstand
