Structural Thermal Walk-On Glass Rooflights from TuffX

TuffX Walk-On Rooflights are designed to be walked upon and are widely used in both residential and commercial buildings, where their seamless design integrates into the floor without compromising structural integrity. Commonly used to bring daylight down into the structure, opening up sightlines between levels, and making the spaces below feel bright and welcoming.

Our Thermal Walk-On Rooflights are specially designed for situations where insulation is essential – with one face of the glass exposed externally and the other facing an internal space. Typical applications include flat roof extensions, balconies above rooms and basement conversions.

Designed with high-quality seals, such as silicone, Thermal Walk-On Rooflights have great waterproof properties. Watertight seals prevent leaks and moisture damage in the building, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Designed with safety glass, Walk-On Rooflights can handle heavy weights, ensuring durability even in heavy traffic areas and undergo rigorous testing before entering the market, ensuring they meet industry standards for load-bearing and slip resistance.

Thermal Walk On Rooflights Specification

HEAT-SOAKED TRIPLE TOUGHENED LAMINATED GLASS: Heat-soaked and toughened 33mm laminated glass undergoes a special heat treatment, strengthening the glass for load-bearing applications. The triple laminated glass features a durable interlayer that adds to its resilience, making it a safe and long-lasting feature in any building

DOUBLE GLAZED FOR WITH A UV VALUE OF 1.2: All walk-on glass rooflights are designed for the ultimate in thermal performance. Using 6mm Low E Toughened safety glass, an argon filled cavity with a warm edge super spacer and thermally broken aluminium frame the rooflight achieves excellent thermal performance throughout the year.

WEATHER TESTED: BS6375-1-Weather test. Test report can be viewed in the technical file

LOAD TESTED: All our framed systems are tested to PAS24 – 2016 C4.4.3 Mechanical infill test 4kn/m2 – domestic applications usually only require around 1.5 kN/m2. This glass boasts exceptional strength, durability, and longevity, handling heavy traffic and harsh force. When broken, this type of glass is designed to remain intact, breaking into duller and smaller shards of glass.

ALUMINIUM FRAME: An Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) powder coated marine grade aluminium frame with thermal break.

DECORATIVE BORDER: A Jet Black (RAL 9005) screen printed decorative border as standard (other RAL colours and pricing available on request).

A CHOICE OF GLASS FINISHES: Clear, Opaque or Anti-Slip (2 options)

QUALITY: Manufactured in the UK and carries a 10-year glass guarantee.

Walk on Thermal Rooflight FAQs

What are thermal walk on rooflights?

Walk-on glass rooflights are designed to be walked and allow natural light to low through the lower space and creating an open and inviting interior. Walk on rooflights are commonly installed between an external and an internal space, where thermal performance is paramount.

Designed with safety glass, walk-on rooflights can handle heavy weights, ensuring durability even in heavy traffic areas.

Are walk on glass rooflights safe?

Yes, walk-on glass rooflights are extremely safe as they are manufactured using toughened and laminated glass.

This glass boasts exceptional strength, durability, and longevity, handling heavy traffic and harsh force. When broken, this type of glass is designed to remain intact, breaking into duller and smaller pieces of glass.

They then undergo rigorous testing before entering the market, ensuring they meet industry standards for load-bearing and slip resistance.

Where can walk on roof lights be fitted?

Walk-on glass rooflights can be installed in a variety of places, in both residential and commercial buildings, between an internal and external space. Designed for the ultimate in thermal performance, using 6mm Low E Toughened safety glass, an argon filled cavity with a warm edge super spacer and thermally broken aluminium frame the rooflight achieves a UV value of 1.2 and excellent thermal performance throughout the year.

What materials are used to make walk on rooflights?

Our walk-on glass is made from heat-soak toughened laminated glass.

Heat soak toughened laminated glass undergoes a special heat treatment, strengthening the glass for load-bearing applications. The triple laminated glass features a durable interlayer that adds to its resilience, making it a safe and long-lasting feature in any building.

Rooflight are also double glazed using 6mm Low E Toughened safety glass, an argon filled cavity with a warm edge super spacer and thermally broken aluminium frame the rooflight

Are walk on rooflights waterproof?

Yes, designed with high-quality silicone seals walk-on glass rooflights have great waterproof properties. Watertight seals prevent leaks and moisture damage in the home, ensuring long-lasting performance. The frame also includes drainage systems to prevent water pooling, which is beneficial for areas with heavy rainfall. Download our Weather Testing document.

How much weight can walk on rooflights support?

Domestic applications can support around 1.5 kN/m2, while commercial installations may require higher specifications. However, the load-bearing capabilities of your walk-on glass rooflights depend on the thickness of the glass and the quality of the design.
