flushglaze® modular rooflight systems

The beauty of the Flushglaze system is its flexibility, for larger areas of glazing the glass panels can be linked together using a variety of different methods. modular system silicone seals If you are working to a span of just over a metre then a simple silicone seal is the only requirement to secure the panels together. This is a great solution if you are looking to maintain the ‘frameless’ internal appearance of your rooflight.

For larger spans you will need something stronger to safely support the joint between the glazed panels. modular system aluminium angles The Flushglaze modular system can also be specified with back to back aluminium angles that form a tee shape for structural support. This option tends to fit in very well with modern interiors, particularly when paired with bi-fold or sliding door systems, the internal angles can be powder coated to any RAL colour of your choice.

The fins are heat soak tested, toughened laminated, for maximum strength and are supported at each end by stainless steel shoes.
