Domed roof light hood
Domed roof lights fulfill an important function in the
architectural integration of light in rooms directly below
roofs. If the execution of domed roof lights is planned,
please take into consideration the load distribution on
the weight-bearing structure in the planning stage and
install the necessary static framing if necessary.
Water drainage and longitudinal expansion of the profile
sheets in the area of the roof penetration have to be
guaranteed using suitable measures. The heights of the
hoods depend on the roof incline and should not be less
than 15 cm if possible.
For larger sizes and the elimination of watertight welding
or soldering operations, the domed roof light hood should
be executed with a backup security. Additional information
on this topic can be found in our “Practical Guide for
Planning and Installing”.
For the domed roof light hood, we recommend the
welded model in aluminium.
