Stainless Steel
The only choice for long lasting rooflights
It is widely recognised that the best looking rooflights are manufactured from steel, but while steel has many aesthetic benefits over modern rooflights, that does not mean that all steel rooflights are equal.
Stella Rooflight is the only company in the UK using 316L stainless steel as standard in the manufacture of all its rooflights. Every other metal rooflight company use mild or carbon steel as standard, which will rust if they are not regularly maintained.

Low maintenance rooflights
Not only is a Stella rooflight made from 316L stainless steel, but each one is finished with a marine grade powder coat application, which is also a much higher specification than any other rooflight company is offering a standard. This marine grade powder coat application does provide additional protection, however, it is mainly for aesthetic purposes, as the stainless steel frame underneath is impervious to rust.
This makes a Stella Rooflight the ideal choice for those looking for a low maintenance rooflight solution.
The only option for coastal properties
If your rooflight is to be situated in a property which is less than 5kms away from the coast or a saltwater estuary, then a stainless steel rooflight is the only real option for you.
Marine Grade 316L stainless steel rooflights do not suffer uniform corrosion in the same way as mild steel (carbon steel) versions will, when exposed to wet environments. Unprotected carbon steel will readily rust when exposed to the combination of air and moisture.
For rooflights, stainless steel is an ideal corrosion-resistant material. There is of course a slightly higher price premium for Marine Grade 316L, but it is well worth it in areas which are exposed to the harsh British elements, especially the coast and heavily salted roadways.

Any shape and size you need
As all our stainless steel rooflights are bespoke made to suit each individual customer, we can manufacture your rooflight to fit exactly how and where you need it.
In older properties, where the position of rafter sizes can vary, having a bespoke solution is often the only way forward.
