How to measure your rooflights

To suit a flat glass rooflight with your own builders upstand

When purchasing a flat glass roof window without a pre installed upstand (to suit a builders kerb), please ensure the outside edge of your own timber upstands are positioned at the same distance as your chosen roof light size.

For example, if you have a rooflight which measures 750mm x 750mm, you need to ensure the measurement from the outside edges of your upstand is the same. Please see the image for further clarification.

A 50mm wide upstand is recommended as minimum with a maximum width of 120mm. With the lowest edge at 150mm high.

Please see the image A for further clarification.

How to choose your rooflight kerb type

Choosing the kerb type for your rooflight depends on your roof, however we have two options to choose from which are detailed below.

 

Builders Kerb
For when you have or will be constructing your own builders kerb on site. When manufacturing your own builders kerb, it is essential that you either have a minimum slope of 5 degrees across your roof or your roof can have a minimum of a 1:80 / 1:60 fall, depending on your waterproofing, as long as you build a 5 degree minimum slope into the upstand.

 

Whitesales Timber Sloping Upstand Kerb with 5 Degree 
Your roof can have a minimum of a 1:80 / 1:60 fall, depending on your waterproofing, as the roof light has a built in 5 degree slope for water runoff. This pre but timber upstand is ready to install with the required 5 degree slope

 

Whitesales Fixed PVC Kerb with 5 Degree Sloping Upstand
Your roof can have a minimum of a 1:80 / 1:60 fall, depending on your waterproofing, but you must pre install a 5 degree slope prior to installing the roof light with its fixed PVC upstand.
