Introduction
Compared to conventional roofing systems, glass skylights provide the advantage of bringing natural daylight into interior spaces. This gives architects greater design freedom and also translates to increased comfort and well-being for building occupants. Vetrotech’s fire-resistant skylight and fire rated rooflight solutions offer enhanced safety without compromising on aesthetics or functionality. Our non-combustible skylight options are ideal for projects requiring strict fire safety compliance, especially in commercial settings where commercial fire rated rooflights are essential. Vetrotech’s fire-resistant and high-security glass for sloped glazing combines fire safety or security advantages with the comfort and well-being of building occupants. Depending on your specific project requirements, our glazing solutions can be equipped with additional multifunctional features, such as energy-efficient coatings, thermal insulation, and more.
Applications
Fire-resistant and high-security glass skylights for all building types and industries
Beyond their modern appeal, glass skylights—whether horizontal or sloped—offer the key advantage of bringing daylight into areas where glass partitions or windows can’t be fitted. Installing a skylight optimises luminosity and enhances the interior environment for occupants. In office buildings, parking garages, and city centres where buildings are close to one another, for example, skylights provide a valuable source of natural light.
Vetrotech offers a wide range of solutions including non-combustible skylights, fire rated skylights, and fire resistant rooflights, designed to meet stringent safety requirements without compromising on design. Our commercial fire rated rooflights and fire rated rooflights are ideal for high-traffic environments where fire protection is critical.
Regardless of the building type, our fire-resistant and high-security glazing solutions for skylights ensure life safety in line with the highest classifications and standards. They are suitable for use in airports and train stations, courthouses, universities, retail and leisure centres, office buildings, and more.
