Roof Access & Roof Exit

What Are Roof Access & Roof Exit Skylights?

Roof access skylights (also called roof exit units) are purpose-built rooflights that allow people to safely pass through a flat roof while also serving as a source of natural light. Unlike standard fixed or ventilating skylights, these units are engineered for regular access, featuring tough construction and reliable opening mechanisms.

They are perfect for:

• Roof maintenance and inspection access
• Creating a roof exit point to terraces or walk-on areas
• Providing natural light in stairwells, corridors or rooftop plant rooms
• Complying with maintenance or safety access requirements

Manual or Electric - Choose Your Operation

Our access skylights are available with two opening options:

• Manual Roof Access Skylights - simple, dependable operation without power requirements
• Electric Roof Access Skylights - effortless opening at the touch of a button, ideal for high or hard-to-reach installations

Both options deliver secure, easy passage to the roof while maintaining excellent weather performance and energy efficiency.
