Non-opening rooflight

AWAK fixed rooflight is the simplest and most reliable way to bring daylight into a building. With no moving parts and no actuator, there is nothing to service and nothing to compromise the weather seal over the life of the roof — and it is the lowest-cost unit in the rooflight range. It is most often specified to daylight individual work areas in manufacturing plants and warehouses.

Product Characteristics

No servicing for the life of the roof

With no actuator and no opening leaf, there are no scheduled inspections and fewer joints to seal.

Profile chosen for light distribution

Flat, domed or convex, depending on how the light needs to spread below.

Covers rated for external fire exposure

Options are available to meet the requirements for roof coverings in large industrial buildings.
