Q. Who can install my rooflight?
A. The CLEMENT Conservation rooflight is a supply only product. Installing any
rooflight is a specialist job so it is important for you to consult a chartered
builder or surveyor before undertaking the project. Detailed installation
instructions come with every rooflight and a video is also viewable on our
website. We can not recommend installers, however here are individuals who have
experience of installing our products:
Andrew Booton – Midlands. Tel: 07887 714134
A&J Building/Roofing – South East. Tel: 01428 604658
Q. Will I need a flashing kit?
A. We would always suggest you consult your roofer as every roof is different. As a general guide we recommend you use a Code 4, 12 inch lead flashing or similar.
Q. Part L of the Building Regulations and ‘U’ Values, how has it all come about? Do you comply?
A. At Clement Steel Windows we applaud the Government’s objectives to reduce carbon emissions. We now know for certain how harmful
these ‘greenhouse gasses’ are to the environment.The revised Part L is one of a package of measures to
bring the UK into line with its ‘Kyoto Accord’ agreements.
A. ‘U’ Value is a way of measuring heat loss. The lower the ‘U’ Value the lower the amount of heat loss. Yes we comply with Part L, the glass
we use has a ‘U’ Value of 1.0 W/m2K – this is well ahead of our competitors.
Q. What about condensation?
A. Condensation is possible but very unlikely with the thermal efficiency of the argon gas filled double glazed units of the CLEMENT conservation rooflight combined with the thermal shield and thermally broken ‘T’ glazing bar, which comes as standard. Please ensure that the entire fitting is in accordance with our installation instructions and Part F of the Building Regulations.
Q. What roof pitches are your rooflights suitable for?
A. Our rooflights have been tested between 20 and 70 degrees. If your roof pitch
does not come into this category please ring us and we will advise you on the
best option. If you wish we can do a simple drawing for you showing the detail.
Q. Can you rooflights be installed next to each other?
A. Yes as long as you have supporting rafters our rooflights can bepositioned right
next to each other.
Q. I have a slate roof, does my rooflight need to be different?
A. Yes, that is why our rooflight range is perfect for you. We have a rooflight
designed specifically for a slate roof type to ensure a flush finish. We also
have tile and zinc roof profiles, pleasing Conservation Officers throughout the
country!
