OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This is designed to fit directly on to a 4"x 2" timber upstand, you are able to finish your roof covering of choice and our skylight can be fitted over this by using silicone on the top edge of the upstand and using the pre-drilled internal holes to securely fix the frame.
Our bottom pane is laminated using a PVB interlayer, this means it can block out almost all of the UV radiation, preventing any fading of your interior, and helps to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Another benefit of laminated glass is that should there be an accident and the skylight breaks, it will not shatter into small pieces that would shower down, potentially damaging/harming furniture or people below, it will remain bonded to the interlayer intact within the frame.
A NOTE ON SELF CLEANING GLASS
A transparent, dual action microscopic coating on the outside glass firstly reacts with UV rays present in daylight to break down organic dirt, (this is the “photocatalytic” stage), secondly during rainfall the water hits the glass and runs of in a sheet, rinsing away the broken down dirty residues, (this is the “hydrophilic” stage).
After installation the special coating needs 5-7 days exposure to daylight to fully activate, long extended dry periods will still break down organic dirt but may allow particles to form especially if there is a heavy density of traffic / trees / bird droppings, this can take an excessive time to break down, so the glass can simply be hosed down with clean water, start this at the top and spray the water from side to side working down towards the bottom.
Please be aware that self cleaning glass is not 100% maintenance free but massively reduces the need to be cleaned as opposed to normal glass.
Be sure that during installation that the top glass is not contaminated in any way, i.e. silicone smears, roofing adhesives for example, as this will affect the self cleaning properties.
