Rooflights for flat roof

Many home projects assume a loft or horizontal roof. Anti-aircraft lights - one of the practical and functional solutions for these projects. Previously it was believed that their installation is advisable only in large offices and other facilities of the metropolis. Specialists of VELUX, a leading global manufacturer of roof windows and accessories, tell in the article about the possibilities of using this design in private housing construction.

Where are zenith lamps used?

In the premises for which the principles of energy saving, good ventilation and additional natural lighting are important, they are indispensable. Rooflights are installed in shopping centers, municipal facilities, offices and private homes. Installed on the roof, they help to maintain the temperature, serve as additional sources of light and smoke removal points in case of fire.

What are the features of zenith lamps?

1. Transparency. A durable glass pack, protected by an acrylic dome, allows light to pass through.

2. Heat saving. The design of the zenith lamp has a high coefficient of heat resistance (1.4 m² ° C / W), which is achieved by filling the glass unit with an inert gas and using polystyrene foam filler for frames. For comparison, the standard value of thermal resistance for residential premises is 0.75 m² ° C / W, which means that using antiaircraft lamps through glass constructions, half the heat is lost.

3. Noise Isolation. Effectively silences street sounds (absorbs up to 36 dB). The noise pollution rate for a dwelling is 40 dB, and street noise with heavy traffic is 65-70 dB. Thus, the insulation of an anti-aircraft lantern completely muffles the sounds of the street, unlike ordinary double-glazed windows, which absorb only 25 dB.

4. Reliability and safety. The manufacturer guarantees 5 years of flawless operation. The outer glass is tempered, the inner glass, made by technology "triplex", does not break into fragments if damaged.

5. Protection from the sun and overheating. The technology "triplex", which is used in the manufacture of glass, protects against noise, keeps fragments of glass in the glass when damaged, protects furniture and interior from burning out. Additionally, internal and external accessories can be installed to protect from the sun and overheating (curtains and awnings).

The VELUX product range includes various versions of anti-aircraft lights:

• Deaf anti-aircraft lights;
• Anti-aircraft smoke lights;
• Anti-aircraft lights with ventilation manual or remote control;
• Rooflights for access to the roof.
