Description
Manual & Electric Opening Rooflights
Duplus opening glass rooflights are available with manual or electric control options. Manufactured in the UK at our Leicester factory, Duplus manufacture to the highest quality in design and build, producing a complete, factory-finished, frameless roof light with a 10-year warranty.
Manual opening rooflights are fitted with a chrome screwjack, which is operated using a separate winding pole.
The electrically controlled option is opened using 24v electric actuators. Actuators open the rooflight to a maximum of 300mm and can be concealed within a complementary framework if required. The electric actuator is controlled by a touch-sensitive switch with an in-built transformer (see technical section below), simplifying the electrical wiring connections. Our switch fits neatly into a standard double gang back box.
Optional Extras
We provide a range of optional extras including:
- Rain sensor
- Temperature sensor
- Remote control
All opening rooflights are double-glazed in clear toughened safety glass as standard, with a triple-glazing option available.
We offer a range of tints:
- Blue tint
- Bronze tint
- Grey tint
- We also offer an obscure finish for privacy or high-performance solar control to minimise solar gain (g) and maximise light transmittance (Lt).

Material Specifications & U-Value
Our hinged/opening rooflights achieve outstanding thermal performance. True U-value and Ud-value available upon request.
The extruded thermally broken aluminium perimeter frame is powder-coated RAL 7016 dark grey matt externally and RAL 9910 white matt internally as standard. Other RAL colour options are available upon request.
For easy installation, an internal perimeter gasket ensures it can be placed directly on top of the builder’s kerb without the need for site-applied silicone. It is then screwed to the builder’s kerb externally and a matching cover clip is then applied to conceal the fixings. A qualified electrician will be required to make the final connections to the actuator and the control system. Wiring diagrams are provided with all opening rooflights.
As standard, all double-glazed units incorporate clear low ‘E’ glass achieving a centre pane U-value of 1.1 W/m²K.
Delivered FULLY ASSEMBLED. No need for time-consuming assembly on-site. Significantly higher security compared to kit systems.
Also available as a Secure by Design (Part Q) enhanced security variant.
