Rooflight with Ventilation Function

AWAK opening rooflight brings daylight and fresh air into the building through a single roof opening without the need for a separate ventilation system. It can be opened manually with winding gear or operated remotely with an electric actuator. It works well in manufacturing plants, warehouses, sports facilities, helping to make better use of natural daylight and fresh air while creating amore comfortable space to work in.

Product Characteristics

Daylight and fresh air from one opening

One unit in the roof instead of a rooflight and a separate ventilator — fewer potential leak points.

Manual or electric operation

Winding gear on smaller units, an actuator on larger ones and anywhere the roof is hard to reach.

Lower lighting bills

Daylight over the work area extends the hours you can run with the lights off.

Upstand

The upstand is available in galvanised steel or PVC, in different heights and configurations to suit the roof structure and project requirements.

Galvanised steel upstand

Material: galvanised steel sheet, minimum thickness 1.25 mm.
Height: 150–750 mm, depending on project requirements.
Standard heights: 150, 350, 500 and 750 mm.
A supporting structure is required around the perimeter of the upstand.

PVC upstand

Straight design: 200 mm high.
Slanted design: 150 or 300 mm high.
Made entirely of PVC.
A supporting structure is required around the perimeter of the upstand.

Upstand configurations

Straight-slanted
Slanted

Clamping frame for steel upstands

The upstands feature specially designed cut-outs in the corners. After the upstand has been installed and machined, these allow the PVC clamping frame to be fitted using a press-on installation method.

Cover

Multi-wall polycarbonate (PC) – available in thicknesses of 10, 16, 20 and 25 mm. The outer surface is protected by a UV-filter coating.
KERA Fire Protect Panels – fire-retardant panels with BROOF(t1) classification, available in thicknesses of 21, 27 and 33 mm.
Domes – available in single- or multi-layer versions, made of acrylic or solid polycarbonate.
Light transmission – clear or opal finishes are available. Opal covers are standard for KERA Fire Protect panels.
Solar Control – multi-wall polycarbonate with a special coating that helps control solar radiation and reduce excessive heat gain during summer.

Tilting segment

The tilting segment consists of a frame and a cover. The cover can be made of multi-wall (cellular) polycarbonate, solid polycarbonate or acrylic. Two colour options are available: clear (transparent) or opal (milky). The cover can have a convex, dome-shaped surface when made of acrylic or solid polycarbonate or a flat surface when made of cellular polycarbonate. Rooflights with cellular polycarbonate covers are also available in a fire-retardant version. The frame is made of aluminium profiles and fitted with perimeter gaskets to prevent water from entering the rooflight.

Drive

The following opening systems are available for rooflights used for room ventilation:

Manual screw opener with a detachable crank and a 300 mm spindle extension;
230 V AC electric actuator with a 300 mm or 500 mm spindle extension;
24 V DC electric actuator.

Dimensions – rooflights are available in sizes ranging from 600 × 600 mm to 2000 × 3000 mm.
DL 750 – resistance to a downward load of up to 750 N/m².
UL 1500 – resistance to an upward load of up to 1500 N/m².
SB 300 – 1200 – resistance to impact from a large soft body, according to the declared classification.
Thermal transmittance – 1.1–2.5 W/(m²·K) for the complete product. The value depends on the selected cover and upstand configuration.
Cover options – multi-wall polycarbonate, KERA Fire Protect fire-retardant panels and acrylic or polycarbonate domes with 1–5 layers.
