Description
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.
Walk-on skylights have incredible load-bearing properties that satisfy 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 frameless 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.
Building Regulations & Compliance
Part Q (Secure by Design) compliant as standard. Walk-on glass rooflights are suitable for flat roofs and are designed to meet the imposed load requirements of BS EN 1991 Subcategories A1, A2, A3 and A5. This means that they can withstand a uniform distributed load (UDL) of 2.5kN/m² and a concentrated load of 2.0kN.
Please Note: October 2013, walk on rooflights stating only compliance to the lower loads defined by BS6399 (1.5kN/m² UDL and 1.4kN concentrated load) should be avoided.

Advanced Features
The extruded aluminium perimeter frame is powder-coated RAL 9005 black matt as standard. Other RAL colour options are available upon request.
Avant-Garde or sandblasted anti-slip external glass treatments to BS7976-2 are available upon request, to reduce the risk of slippage.
Installation
A builder’s kerb is required for installation. The roofight should be fitted first, with the surrounding flooring completed afterward enabling an overall flush finish to be achieved. The correct loading standards must be considered, reference should be made to Eurocodes BS EN 1991.
