ROOFLIGHTS& LANTERNS
Bonded, Fully Bonded
One of the many first class benefits of First Glass Roofs Ltd.
» ROOFLIGHT
manufacturers, First Glass Roofs
Ltd, has reported vast growth
since the start of trading five years
ago. The successful company
is one of the only Rooflight
manufacturers in the UK with
a minimalist frameless design
across the whole of their product
range.
Due to the demand in certain
areas of the frameless glazing
industry, the company has
brought to market one to two
new products on average per year
and will be launching yet another
new product in January 2020.
Being a systems company, we
are able to cater for all needs. As
well as being able to purchase
your product ‘Fully Bonded’
from us, we also offer some of
our profiles as a ‘manufactured
frame only’ option for those who
already have connections with
glass suppliers.
FLAT ROOFLIGHT
Our Flat Rooflight system
was the first system designed by
First Glass Roofs, boasting large
thermal breaks for unrivalled
truly tested U-Values. Keeping a
minimalist aluminium structure
is always key to our designs,
while also being very versatile in
its design construction allowing
triple glazed and quadruple glazed
to be achieved yet remain flush
with the frame, making this
system one preferred by installers
across the UK.
Our Flat Rooflights should
be pitched at a minimum of 5
degrees as an industry standard
to ensure minimal pooling on
the Rooflight, and will suit roof
pitches of up to 45 degrees. We
only use top specification glass
in the manufacture of the flat
rooflight for product safety and
longevity.
ROOF LANTERN
The ultra-modern Roof
Pyramid / Lantern is one of
the slimmest designs on the
market today, providing more
light transmittance than most.
Traditionally, other companies
use bars which makes them bulky
and obtrusive and U values are
also affected, making ours more
efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
Consisting of glass to glass joins
both internally & externally, with
thermal foam barrier and using
a glass of just 1.0 U value, this
product will keep you warm even
in the harshest of conditions.
Along with Solar reflective
toughened glass, it keeps the suns
UV rays down to a minimum.
INTEGRATED GLASS
BALUSTRADE
This is a revolutionary new
design of fully integrated
frameless glass balustrade system
which is thermally broken and
is fully integrated to fit Bi-fold,
Dliding, French Doors and Tilt
and Turn window systems. It
has been designed by First Glass
Roofs and has been tested to
BS6180 and surpassed current
regulations. This will be a
choice for architects and for
people who have specific design
requirements.
GLASS BOX
Our Frameless Glass Box
incorporates the latest in glass
bonding and structural glass
incorporated into a seamless glass
box structure, fully integrated
into the building making a feature
of any location its situated in.
Blending high quality
components into a remarkable
ultra slim edge design, this product
also benefits from polyamide
thermal breaks and maximising
glass for better U values.

OPENING ROOFLIGHT
Our Opening Rooflight is
available in both Electric or
Manually operated versions,
boasting market leading U-values
along with industry leading water
tightness using our own triple seal
system. A first of its kind which is
fully frameless internally, allowing
more sky and less frame, and
externally keeping framework to a
minimum to achieve the slimline
appearance which aesthetically
compliments the range of our
fixed Rooflights. This, together
with our Flat Rooflight, boasts
only the best in high end
components for safe working and
product longevity. As usual, our
Opening Rooflight comes with
Solar Reflective Self-Cleaning
Glass as standard on all our
Rooflights. With a glass U-value
of just 1.0, this is unrivalled in its
design and performance.
FIXED WINDOW
Our latest product launched
is our Frameless Fixed Window.
This will be another great
preforming system with larger
thermal breaks than most, to
achieve unrivalled U-values.
Mainly used for larger
applications of fixed window, it
will be document Q tested for
safety. Not to mention its ultra
slim frame of only a 35mm sight
line, we think this will be a hit
for architects and for people with
specific design requirements.
We have a great network of
distributors and installers and,
as we continue to grow, we are
always looking for new partners.
