NEW ROOFLIGHT
MAKES COMPANY
ONE TO WATCH
Hampshire based 1st Glass Roofs is introducing
‘Fixglaze’, a unique glass rooflight system designed inhouse to offer homeowners an exclusive design to
standard rooflight systems available in the market.
Glass Protection System
from Edgetech UK
The family run company is
managed by brothers Paul
and Kieran Hand, who have
over 30 years manufacturing
experience.
Fixglaze rooflight system is
designed and manufactured totally
in-house at 1st Glass Roofs’ 6000
sq ft manufacturing site, in Alton,
Hampshire and offers customers a
variety of custom-made size variations to suit homeowners individual needs.
Kieran Hand, Manager, said: “We
are very excited about the new
product; it is a high performance
fixed rooflight that looks great
and offers ease of installation with
installers in mind.
“The Fixglaze rooflight has a
thermal broken aluminium extruded system with a 27mm polyamide
insert for perfect heat retention
creating U-values of 1.7 W/m2K
(glass and frame) and 1.1 W/m2K
(glass as standard). Using the
latest glass design technology and
continually improving our products, the Fixglaze rooflight has
been designed in-house by us and
all components are made from
high grade materials making this
the perfect choice for the trade.
“Rooflights can be made to any
size but with us there is no such
thing as a set size; we offer frame
only option, making us the only
company in the UK to offer this
service to the trade.”
The frame is fixed and the glass
can be from 28mm to 42mm in
depth, allowing for larger applications. With the choice of double or
triple glazed, the system can take
walk-on glass. The rooflight also
has a 27mm thermal break and a
48mm over hang for better weather-tight seal.
Adding extra natural light and
open air space, the colour of the
rooflight framework is 7015 matt.
Using a Dow Corning silicon
sealed unit, the product uses the
Add value and profit to your installations
with TruShield:
latest in glass technology; as well
as silicon it uses soft coat argon
gas and krypton gas.
“We pride ourselves in providing
the very best in customer satisfaction and product quality.” Kieran
added.
100% British made, the rooflight
has been tested and surpasses
all current regulations, as tested
by Testing, Product Certification
and CE Marking company Build
Check.
Definitely one to watch, the
company continues to grow, with
a brand new website currently
under construction. The fabricator
is also planning on introducing
three new products to be ready
for release in 2016, including its
new integrated balustrade system
as well as three opening rooflights.
The lead times for frame is
just five to six working days and
frames with glass and glazed
option have a lead time of ten
working days.
Although the company does not
install, it offers full installation
training to their customers.
