Rooflight Maintenance

Generally, and to maintain the non-fragility status of a rooflight, any damaged rooflights should be replaced. The need to ensure that the non-fragile status is maintained means that repair kits can no longer be used effectively. Hambleside Danelaw publish separate guidance on assessing and dealing with rooflight

No. Please see Q&A below.

This kind of information should be contained in the building records or building maintenance manual. Our rooflights are printed along their edge with identification marks, relating to the manufacture and specification of the product. This can only be applied to the outer surface of the

Painting or coatings may be applied, but the effectiveness of these solutions may be very short term with little or no guarantee and could result in insufficient daylight at other times of the year when it is required. The only effective way of reducing heat

There are several factors that can cause condensation, and low levels that occur at the coldest times of the year are sometimes unavoidable. Condensation can be due to the internal humidity levels, the use and activity of the building, a lack of ventilation, poorly insulated

This is not always obvious, as cooling due to rainfall can cause condensation. If a rooflight is leaking, it will generally correlate regularly with certain weather conditions, even if not immediately obvious. Condensation is more likely to occur during colder weather and damper conditions irrespective

To preserve the non-fragility classification and service life guarantee, in most instances rooflights would require replacement. Small areas of damage that appear slightly cloudy or as a ‘bloom’ where the structure of the rooflight sheet has not been compromised, and the surface film is undamaged,

Zenon rooflights can be cleaned with a mild detergent or soap solution and a soft bristled brush.  Care must be taken to prevent any damage to the surface film protection. Separate details are available upon request. Pressure washing should not be used on metal cladding
