» ALUMINIUM AND UPVC specialists Framex prides itself on offering customers the highest quality . So , when a homeowner came to them asking for three bespoke rooflights , Framex chose leading safety glass specialists TuffX to fulfil the brief .
The rooflights were required for a groundfloor residential extension in Rossendale , with the customer requesting blue-tinted solar glass to maximise the light , comfort and ambient feel of the space by reducing both glare and heat from the sun .
TuffX ’ s Infinity fixed flat rooflights are available in clear , blue and privacy glass finish options , in five standard sizes as well as bespoke measurements . Three rooflights of a standard size , 1000 x 1500 mm , were chosen with the blue glass option . The delicate blue tint provides 62 % solar heat reflection to protect from the sun ’ s solar rays and 51 % light transmission to reduce the sun ’ s glare , ensuring indoor spaces are bright , welcoming and full of natural daylight .
Framed in contemporary anthracite grey powder-coated aluminium , TuffX Infinity rooflights are available as either double or triple-glazed , which has an insulating u-value of 0.7 w / m2 – 30 % better than rooflights with standard double glazing .
