CHOICE OF OPENING MECHANISM

Fixed or Opening...or both!

Because all of our rooflights are completely bespoke to your requirements, you can choose whether you prefer a fixed pane or an opening casement, which will provide greater ventilation for your room.  

​

If you are installing a large rooflight with several sections, you might even want something that is part fixed and part opening, it really is down to your individual design preference. 

​

Opening rooflight mechanisms

If you opt for an opening rooflight, then you can choose to have either a manually operated version, or something that is electronically actuated. Our manual rooflights include either a solid brass or 316 stainless manual screw jack winder. Electric opening rooflights are operated via electrically operated chain drives with a variety of control options, including rain and wind sensors, wall switches or remote control handsets.    

​

If your rooflight is larger than 1000mm x 1300mm in either orientation then the weight and size will most likely require you to have an electrically operated option.

Stella also offers a conservation access rooflight with gas strut assisted opening. For more information please get in touch with our team.
