Brightside Skylights | Frameless Flat Glass Skylight
Introducing our Brightside Skylights Frameless Flat Glass Skylight, proudly designed and manufactured in the UK. Designed to illuminate your living spaces with ample natural light and clear views, this skylight is an ideal enhancement for any modern home or commercial building. Offered in 16 versatile sizes, our skylight effortlessly blends with diverse architectural styles, improving both visual appeal and functionality.
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.

How do I measure and choose the right size for my Brightside Skylights Frameless Flat Glass Skylight?
Measure the internal hole size in the roof and order the rooflight in that size (e.g. If the hole in the roof is 600 x 600, this is the size rooflight you will need to to order).
What is Low-E soft coat?
Low-E soft coat glass is an advanced type of energy-efficient glazing technology specifically designed for modern skylights and windows. "Low-E" stands for "low emissivity," referring to the microscopically thin, transparent metallic coating applied to the glass surface that selectively reflects thermal radiation (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through.
This specialised coating works by reflecting infrared heat back to its source, effectively keeping your home warm during winter months by preventing indoor heat from escaping through the skylight, and cool during summer by reflecting solar heat away from your living space. The soft coat variant is particularly effective, offering superior thermal insulation properties compared to traditional glazing options.
By installing skylights with Low-E soft coat glass, homeowners can significantly improve their home's thermal envelope, reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling, lower utility bills, and create a more comfortable living environment year-round. The technology also helps minimise harmful UV radiation that can fade furnishings and flooring, providing additional protection for your interior spaces.
What is an Argon filled cavity?
An Argon-filled cavity is a premium insulation feature found in high-quality skylights and windows. Argon is a naturally occurring, colourless, odourless, non-toxic noble gas that is heavier than air and has superior insulating properties. In double or triple-glazed skylights, the space between glass panes is filled with Argon gas instead of regular air.
Argon gas delivers exceptional thermal performance because it has significantly lower thermal conductivity compared to standard air, meaning it drastically reduces heat transfer through the skylight. This creates a more effective thermal barrier that keeps interior heat inside during colder months and prevents external heat from entering during warmer seasons.
Beyond temperature regulation, Argon-filled skylights provide additional benefits, including improved sound insulation, reduced potential for internal condensation, and enhanced energy efficiency. These performance advantages translate to more consistent indoor comfort, lower energy bills, and reduced environmental impact through decreased energy consumption for heating and cooling. The Argon gas is securely sealed within the glass unit and maintains its insulating properties for many years, contributing to the long-term performance of your skylight.
