Duplus Walk On Rooflights
Our walk-on rooflights are designed to be flush with surrounding flooring, typically on roof terraces with decking. An ideal ‘walkable’ rooflight solution allowing natural light to flow into the room below, without sacrificing the useable space above.
Duplus walk-on skylights have incredible load-bearing properties satisfying the latest Part Q building regulation requirements, anti-slip options and a layer of toughened laminated glass up to 33.5mm thick to withstand foot traffic.
Combine these great features with a contemporary aesthetic, powder-coated matt black frame, triple-glazed as standard, exceptional build quality in our UK factory and a 10 year guarantee to ensure complete satisfaction in your purchase.
