Brightside Skylights | Slimline Flat Glass Fixed Skylights
Brightside Skylights Flat Glass Fixed Rooflight
Our Brightside Skylights Flat Glass Fixed Rooflight offers a competitively priced, premium glass rooflight without compromising on quality or long-term reliability. Ideal for any modern home or commercial building, this skylight provides an exceptional architectural finish. It is available in a range of sizes with a standard 3–5 working day lead time and boasts excellent Part L compliance.
Minimalist, Slimline Design (The "Frameless" Look, Secured)
Our Flat Glass Fixed Rooflight features a modern, sleek contemporary design which maximises daylight thanks to its ultra-slim aluminium framework. This frame is barely visible from the inside, giving you the highly desired "open sky" minimalist look. Externally, the low-profile frame provides robust protection without disrupting the clean lines of your roof.
Strong Aluminium Frame for Ultimate Peace of Mind
While frameless glass rooflights are characterised by their installation requiring no screws, and only a silicone seal below the glass, our Brightside skylights feature a dedicated, structurally sound aluminium frame.
-
Edge Protection: The frame protects the most vulnerable areas of the glass, encapsulating it at key stress points to help prevent accidental damage. This eliminates the risk of exposed inner panes shattering against sharp screw heads in the upstand.
-
Enhanced Security: Because frameless units are simply bonded to a builder's upstand, they are much easier to break into. Our rigid frame adds immense structural strength and is mechanically fastened to the roof with security screws, providing superior resistance against forced entry.
-
Failsafe Hold: Mechanically fixing the unit ensures permanent stability in high winds, meaning the glass is fully supported and safely held within the frame at all times.
100% Watertight Weather Resistance
A frameless unit's exposed silicone seal will be under constant attack from rainwater running under the glass and against the seal, risking a leak if the seal is penetrated over time.
To ensure your home stays dry, the Brightside Flat Glass rooflight features an aluminium frame with a drip edge and an integral water management system. In the unlikely event a perimeter seal degrades over the years, rainwater is safely guided out onto the roof surface and not into your building.
Thermally Efficient
This unit has a centre pane U-value of 1.19 W/m2K, making this one of the most thermally efficient double-glazed rooflights on the market. This design helps keep indoor temperatures comfortable throughout the year while minimising energy expenses.

Minimalist Design
With a frameless unit, you can enjoy unobstructed views of the outdoors, as it is crafted to eliminate visible sightlines. This design allows the unit to harmoniously integrate with your roofline, offering you a sleek and minimalist appearance, whilst allowing the maximum amount of daylight into your home.
Thermally Efficient
Our Frameless Flat Glass Skylight is available in both double and triple-glazing options, featuring an outstanding U-value of up to 0.7W/m2K. It is crafted with 6mm toughened glass panes, with argon gas filling the space between each pane. This design helps to keep indoor temperatures comfortable throughout the year while minimising energy expenses.
Triple-Sealed
Our units are designed with a triple-layer seal between the panes, which is 80% thicker than the standard in the industry. This ensures that your skylight stays sealed, leak-free, and has a long lifespan. We are so confident in the durability of this seal that we provide a 10-year warranty on our units.
Full Ceramic Border
The black ceramic border is fired at 400°C, which not only creates an attractive aesthetic for the skylight but also guarantees that the glass and paint are fully fused. This process effectively blocks UV rays, safeguarding the seals around the glass and leading to a more durable seal.
Easy Clean Coating
This unit features a standard easy-clean coating, which uses sunlight to break down dirt on the surface of the glass, allowing rain to wash it away. As a result, reducing the need for manual cleaning.
Premium Quality Finish
This unit features a high-class polished edge finish and a black ceramic border as standard to give the frameless flat glass a premium look. Our units have a robust construction that also guarantees maximum safety and durability. You can be assured that our frameless unit is completely air tight and weatherproof to ensure a leak-free rooflight.
Quick & Easy to Install
We have designed our skylight for simple and efficient installation, making it easy to mount onto your upstand, regardless of the waterproofing membrane in use. Additionally, you can opt for the Brightside Frameless Flat Glass along with the DOWSIL 791 sealant from us, ensuring you have all the essentials for a successful installation.

Are aluminium-framed skylights more durable?
Yes, significantly more durable. While frameless designs rely heavily on exposed perimeter seals that are vulnerable to site conditions, an aluminium frame actively protects the entire unit. The frame safely encapsulates the glass edges and shields the structural seals from movement, impact, and severe weathering. This protection is especially crucial on flat roofs where standing water and thermal movement are common, ensuring the skylight remains structurally secure and watertight for years to come.
Does an aluminium-framed skylight last longer?
Yes, in most real-world installations. A framed system protects the insulated glass unit (IGU) edges and seals, which are the most common failure points over time. This typically results in better long-term weather resistance and reduced maintenance.
Why should I choose an aluminium-framed flat glass skylight instead of a frameless one?
A framed flat glass skylight provides greater structural protection, easier installation, and more consistent long-term performance. The aluminium frame supports and protects the glass at its most vulnerable points, reducing the risk of damage, seal failure, and water ingress over time.
