7 installing your rooflight Step by step guide to fitting your rooflight! CAUTION! Rooflights can be extremely heavy. Consideration should be made for moving the product onto the roof and extreme care should be taken during installation. step 2 Once you are happy everything will fit, remove the rooflight and place two runs of butyl tape around the underside of the rooflight using the frame recess as illustrated in the Flushglaze section detail (fig. 1) Pre installation checks fig. 1 After checking you are in receipt of the required installation hardware and rooflight(s) it is important to ensure the area of installation is suitably prepared. The area surrounding the aperture should be clear and provide safe access during the installation works. If working at heights, ensure that all safety systems are in place. Kerbs should be checked for specification, dimensional accuracy and the correct fall to ensure water does not pond on the surface of the rooflight. All s should be complete and fully weathered prior to installation. If in doubt, please refer to the guide and rooflight section details featured in this manual. If you are happy that the area is suitably prepared and your s are accurate, you can commence with the installation of your rooflight. step 3 Carefully place the rooflight back onto the, the weight of the unit will ensure enough pressure is applied to compress the butyl tape and form a weatherproof seal. Once in position, remove the clip on covers around the framework (fig. 2) step 1 fig. 2 We strongly recommend that you dry fit the rooflight by placing it onto the before using any of the adhesive tape so that you can ensure that the rooflight fits over the structure. step 4 This allows access to pre drilled holes in the extrusion enabling you to fix the rooflight using the wood screws provided. Any clearance between the inner face of the rooflight frame and can be packed out using the horse shoe packers supplied (fig. 3) This is a good opportunity to check for any pinch points and to see if the rooflight frame fouls any adjacent parts of the building structure. fig. 3

8 maintaining your rooflight Maintain your rooflight to achieve optimum performance year after year Safety Unless you have purchased a Flushglaze rooflight designed specifically for Walk On purposes, you should not walk on the glass surface unless spreader boards are in place. The standard Flushglaze unit is designed to carry maintenance loads and support the weight of one person only, provided spreader boards are used. If you have purchased the Walk On variant of the Flushglaze rooflight - extra care should be taken if you are walking on the unit in wet conditions as glass can become slippery. Cleaning your rooflight The combination of the Flushglaze s unique bonding method and a constructed to at least 3 ensures there is no water ponding on the glass avoiding watermarks and unsightly staining. To clean the glass, any standard glass-cleaning product can be used. Routine cleaning of the powder coated finish must be implemented for the warranty to be valid, and a record of cleaning schedules will be required in the case of a claim. This should be done every 6 months. The best method of cleaning is by regular washing of the coating using a solution of warm water and mild detergent. All surfaces should be cleaned using a soft cloth or sponge, using nothing harsher than natural bristle brushes. If atmospheric pollution has resulted in heavy soiling of the coating, then nothing harsher than white spirit should be used. Under no circumstances should chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, ketones or abrasive cleaners be used. Routine maintenance Flushglaze rooflights are very robust, but we do recommend that a visual inspection of the unit is carried out at least once every 6 months. You should check the external seals for any degradation and also the finish of the powder coated frame for any damage. If you are unable to do this yourself, rooflights.com offer a full service and maintenance contract for peace of mind. Please contact our Customer Service team who will be happy to arrange this for you. Safe Disposal There are no hazardous materials used in the construction of the Flushglaze. When disposing of the rooflight please recycle wherever possible. The following materials are used to construct the unit: Aluminium extrusion and corner brackets Stainless steel fixings Low modulus silicone Toughened glass panes Polyurethane adhesive Acrylic adhesive Polyester powder coated finish Butyl Tape PVC foam tape Polyethylene backing rod Warm edge spacer bar PVB laminate interlayer (walk on only)
