The Architect's Choice

Design, performance, reputation or support, take your pick, but these are the reasons why VITRAL is specified by Architects again and again. No other roofglazing is designed in the same way and no other roofglazing system performs to the level that VITRAL's systems do.

Design

Whether you choose VITRAL's bespoke roofglazing system for a mono pitch skylight or a large atrium, or one of the Skyvision flat rooflights for a school or a home, VITRAL has designed them to have minimal impact on the design of the building yet allow the maximum amount of light into the building possible. The bespoke rooflight systems have very narrow sightlines but also shallow profiles so that from any viewpoint the building occupant sees as little frame as possible, ensuring its the sky that is the focus, not bulky metal framing.

Performance

Whether the building needs to pass Part L, achieve a BREEAM rating or met the PassivHaus design criteria, VITRAL's roofglazing systems always meet and exceed the demands of these benchmarks. VITRAL rooflights carry out hot box testing for all our systems so we can guarantee our U-value performance. In fact we provide U-value calculations for every project individually. Our airtightness again is unrivalled and we can prove our system's performance so where PassivHaus design principles need to control ventilation, retain heat and manage the internal environment, no other roofglazing system provides the control and efficiency that VITRAL can.

Reputation

Once specified and installed a building becomes the reality and any architect wants it to meet the client's expectations and to meet the design aims that they had foreseen. When a building is assessed these expectations and aims are put to one side and a critical view is taken by an independant body. If published this opnion can elevate an architect's reputation and VITRAL is consistenly highlighted as positive elements of a building where these assesments have taken place. CABE is the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment and advise on well-designed buildings, places and spaces. They recently published a report entitled "Picturing school design: a visual guide to secondary school ..." in which VITRAL is proud to have been included where schools were highlighted to have incorporated good design principles and were applauded.
