Whatever the type of roof there
will be a vault rooflight to suit
|
| Vault rooflights can be used on all types of roof including
profiled industrial, curved, low pitch and flat roofs
or for standing seam built-up metal roofing systems where
a secret fix style system is required. Many Designers
prefer the out-of-plane profile created by vault rooflights. |

Safety |
The HSE recommend vault rooflights as they are less easy
to walk on accidentally than in-plane rooflights.
- An ‘out of plane’ rooflight is more visible
and impossible to stand on inadvertently*.
- Accidental foot traffic is minimised whilst design safety
is enhanced.
- Multivault and Marvault vault rooflight systems are rated
Class B Non-fragile to ACR[M]001:2000.

| Glazing |
Vaults are an aesthetically pleasing rooflight option that
can be glazed to provide direct or diffused daylight, depending
on the desired internal environment.
- The Multivault GRP option provides diffused light, limiting
glare and creating an even distribution of light, with few
shadows.This presents an ideal rooflight option for sports
facilities where distracting shadows must be minimised.
GRP tinted options can be specified for special orders.
- Multivault Polycarbonate rooflights supply direct light,
when clear glazing is specified. An opal glazed option is
available to further reduce solar gain.
- Glazing options available in Marvault HF and Marvault
RL include clear, bronze and opal polycarbonate. Whilst
clear provides direct light, the tinted options reduce solar
heat gain, minimise glare from the sun and can provide privacy
where necessary.
- Fire rated GRP and fire venting Polycarbonate options
are available.
