STELLA ROOFLIGHT
A large part of the renovation and conversion works included the complete rebuilding of the old steel structured roof with new timbers and the installation of large conservation rooflights , which would flood the large open internal space with natural daylight .
Stella Rooflight were commissioned to produce a total of 12 bespoke conservation rooflights to fit the new openings . 10 smaller rooflights , which comprised of 6 opening and 4 fixed frames , were designed to fit internal rafters of 690mm x 940mm and 550mm x 740mm . A much larger non opening rooflight which was sized at 3000mm wide x 3500mm high was designed as a grand centre piece in the roof . This rooflight was supplied in two sections which were purpose designed to sit one on top of the other , with each section being divided into three panes .
All 12 rooflights were manufactured using marine grade stainless steel and finished in a high quality C5 marine grade black powder coating . An important consideration given the building ’ s coastal location and the propensity to rust associated with mild carbon steel rooflights .
The Stella rooflights also included a high specification glazing with BioClean Self-Clean , Solar Control outer pane with a warm edge spacer filled with Argon Gas . The internal glass panel used Planitherm Comfort Plus to provide the perfect balance of light , warmth and comfort . The rooflight was finished internally with a stunning American Ash interior liner .
