The Brett Martin Modular Glass Link Rooflight is a multi-panel glass rooflight system designed to create large glazed roof areas that bring natural daylight deep into interior spaces. The modular design allows several glass rooflight units to be connected together, forming a continuous glazed rooflight that can cover wider openings than a single rooflight.
This rooflight system uses double-glazed glass panels within a durable aluminium frame, providing structural strength while maintaining a slim appearance around the glazing. Laminated inner panes are used for overhead safety, helping ensure that the glass remains intact if damaged.
Modular rooflights are commonly installed in large kitchen extensions, open plan living areas, commercial interiors, and architectural glazing projects where increased daylight coverage is required across a wider roof opening.
Modular Rooflight Design
The modular system allows multiple rooflight sections to be connected together to form a continuous glazed roof area. This design allows larger roof openings to be covered while maintaining structural stability.
Individual modules can be arranged to suit the size and shape of the roof opening, creating a custom rooflight layout that distributes daylight evenly across the room.
This configuration is often used in:
1. Large flat roof extensions
2. Open plan kitchens and dining areas
3. Commercial interiors and office spaces
4. Retail and public buildings
Frame Construction
The rooflight uses a powder-coated aluminium frame designed for flat roof glazing applications.
Aluminium provides strong structural support for the glass panels while keeping the frame profiles slim. This allows the rooflight to maximise daylight entering the building while maintaining durability in exposed roof conditions.
The frame construction also helps reduce heat transfer and supports the overall thermal performance of the glazing system.
Glass Specification
Each rooflight module uses an insulated double-glazed glass unit designed for overhead glazing.
Typical glazing construction includes:
- Toughened outer glass pane
- Argon filled cavity
- Laminated inner pane with Low-E coating
The toughened outer pane provides strength and resistance to weather exposure. The laminated inner pane helps hold the glass together if damaged, improving safety for occupants below the rooflight.
Low-E glass helps reduce heat loss while maintaining strong natural daylight transmission.
Installation
The modular rooflight system is designed for installation onto a builders upstand as part of a flat roof structure.
The modular design allows the rooflight to be installed across larger roof openings by connecting several units together. This installation method is commonly used on both new flat roof construction and refurbishment projects.
