Human happiness and well-being are the basis of our work at Vitral. We believe that natural light promotes people’s well-being, indoors as well as out.

The requirement for our glass roof systems has always been that they must make elegant use of natural light in the best possible way to help people live and work in the buildings.

Since 1955, we have increased human well-being in factories, created new life in hospitals and glass roof system buildings, improved conditions in shopping centres, and promoted children’s learning in schools. Vitral has one of the most energy-saving glass roof systems on the market today, creating a good indoor climate and framework for children and adults to flourish.

Rooflights and sloped glazing can change the entire dynamic of a building.  With rooflights internal areas can be flooded with natural light whilst benefiting from solar heat gain and natural ventilation.

Vitral’s range of rooflights and sloped glazing systems are designed to achieve the lowest U-value, down to 1.1W/m²K, overall, not the mid pane u-value.  Our rooflights have the slimmest sight lines of only 48mm and provide no visible difference between opening and fixed panels, perfect rooflights for a contempory building or conservation style rooflights.

Vitral's rooflight product performance also enables the design of sustainable buildings.  Hot box tested rooflight products ensure that calculated U-values are accurate.  This is essential when balancing the use of natural resources rooflights can benefit from, such as natural ventilation and solar gain, whilst complimenting this resources with HVAC systems.

Too often buildings are designed to be efficient and yet rooflights are used with high u-values, creating a weak spot in an otherwise efficient building.  Vitral's rooflights offer performance for any project

Whether the building is for used for commercial, educational, healthcare or residential purposes, Vitral's sloped glazing and rooflight systems take advantage of natural resources whilst maintaining the efficiency required to help create sustainable buildings.
