Glazing Vision’s Free Standing Skybox and Three Wall Box rooflights are the perfect solution if you are looking for roof access. Operated at the touch of a button, the user simply climbs the stairs whilst the rooflight is retracting into its open position and then walks straight out onto the terrace.
Our Free Standing Skybox Rooflight has been created with an improved framework design, leading to larges sizes without compromising on performance. Box rooflights can be manufactured in a variety of configurations but will generally consist of one sliding section of glass moving over a fixed section. The specification of glazing used, and physical structure of the design means that there is no additional requirement for balustrades around the rooflight.
The installation of our Free Standing Box Rooflights in the Music Box, London, has provided a seamless and harmonious transition from the exterior to the interior in each of the 7 luxurious penthouse apartments. The apartments are bathed in natural daylight during the day, and crowned by stars at night. For the residents, the Free Standing Box Rooflight allows them to enjoy the stunning views of London’s inspirational and ever-changing landscape from their “outside living room”.
Weather tested by Vinci to ensure the highest level of security, the Skybox has undergone air permeability testing, water tightness and resistance to wind load testing. We manufacture two standard configurations, a Free Standing Skybox which features glazing on all sides and a Three Wall Box which is designed to be shrouded by the walls of the building itself on three sides.
Our Three Wall Box configuration is one of the most popular and can offer an almost seamless integration into the fabric of your building. We have manufactured and installed countless numbers of these units, predominantly in urban city environments where space is limited and homeowners turn to maximising their roof space.
Our Three Wall Box Rooflight was specified on an apartment in Lancaster which helped reveal the spectacular views. A roof terrace was an integral element of the design of the planned water tower luxury apartment. This was crucial to capitalise on the panoramic views of the Fells of Bowland and Morecambe Bay, whilst also providing a generous amount of outdoor living space.
