Natural daylight options with non-fragile rooflights
Safety Bus Image Safety is of paramount importance and it can be achieved with many different rooflight assemblies.With an outstanding range of rooflights available and exceptional technical expertise, Brett Martin Daylight Systems’ comprehensive service ensures a correctly designed and specified non-fragile rooflight option for any building that will also meet all other criteria such as light transmission, type of light, aesthetics and budget.
     
What do I need to consider to specify a GRP rooflight with the correct level of safety for my building?
 
In terms of safety, the difference between rooflights which achieve the same non-fragile classification, when tested to the industry standard drop test for roofing material ACR[M] 001:2000, is the margin of safety
that they provide, and the length of time they will remain safe.
 
Safelight
Safelight provides the highest level of safety and longevity, satisfying the 'HSE' preferred option for long term non-fragility, with good light transmission and unique 'Diamond' surface protection. It is suitable for roofs that will require frequent and unlimited access for a number of reasons, including maintenance, access to monitoring equipment, ventilation ducts or other services, and, in the case of stadia, lighting or TV cameras. Even in situations where the roof has gantries and walkways, if people are regularly on a roof, risks will inevitably increase. In these instances, Safelight will provide the optimum level of safety.
 
Trilite Ultra
Trilite Ultra offers substantially increased safety margins over standard Trilite and is suitable for projects that will require regular roof access after construction. In these situations,Trilite Ultra will provide both
an increased margin of safety and length of time the rooflight will remain safe.
   
Trilite
   
Correctly specified Trilite rooflights can generally achieve Class B and Class C non-fragility when new, and are available to meet industry recommendations for non-fragility for 25 years, as outlined in NARM Guidance Note 2004/I. These rooflights are most commonly used in simple, low cost structures where there is little or no roof access required after installation.
   
   

Brett Martin Daylight Systems recommend that you never walk on a rooflight.
