Electric Roof Windows

FAQS

• How Do Electric Rooflights Work?
  Electric rooflights come in two variations, central-panel and remote-controlled. All electric rooflights run on an electric motor that is connected to the main electricity source of the building. If you don’t trust yourself with a remote control because you think you might lose it, you could opt for installing a switch plate into the wall. A switch plate will allow you to control the electric rooflights easily without fear of losing it.
• How Long Do Electric Rooflights Last?
  By following the recommended guidelines for rooflight maintenance, electric rooflights can last up to 25 years. At Rooflight Centre, we offer a 10-year guarantee on all our products to ensure you get the best quality products for the lowest prices. The electrical components of our electric rooflights are protected by highly durable materials which prevent the possibility of water damage or deterioration of the wires, so you can rest assured your electric rooflights will last.
• How Do You Clean Electric Rooflights?
  The procedure for cleaning electric rooflights is the same as for ordinary rooflights. All you need is a soft cloth and warm water. You could opt for a high-quality glass cleaner to reduce the streaking, but it is vital that you always use nonabrasive cloths to maintain the quality of your panes and surrounding fixings. The warm water will lift the dirt, and the cloth will gently wipe it away without leaving scratches. We recommend that you avoid cleaning the glass in the midday sun, as this can lead to the appearance of scuff marks and streaks.
• Do You Need Planning Permission For Electric Rooflights?
  When it comes to electric rooflights, no planning permission is required unless your windows protrude more than 150mm above the existing roof plane. In this case, it is best to get a professional opinion before installing your electric rooflight to ensure you’re adhering to the relevant regulations.
• Are Electric Rooflights Easy To Install?
  Our electric rooflights are designed with ease of installation in mind to ensure you get the product you want in the shortest possible time. Although we recommend you consult a professional to install your rooflight to reduce the chance of mishaps, they’re very user-friendly and can be fitted quickly.
