Extra light for listed buildings

Tuscan Foundry Products, one of the leading suppliers of conservation style rooflights, has announced the launch of the Lumen Extra Light.

Especially made to replicate a Victorian design, the British made Lumen Extra Light allows freedom to open up roof space without the constraints of standard sizes. By adopting a unique link system, the rooflights are manufactured to the desired size using multiple frames to provide a virtually seamless row of rooflights.

The slim low profile steel sections of the Lumen Extra Light are suitable for use on Listed buildings and buildings in Conservation areas whilst also providing one of the highest specifications of glazing available today through incorporating argon gas filled units with Pilkington Activ –the world’s first self-cleaning glass. Specialist non-reactive silicone has also been sourced to bed and front the argon gas filled units to resemble the traditional putty appearance found on an original Victorian rooflight.

Paul Trace, Managing Director of Tuscan Foundry Products comments: “Unlike the linking of standard sizes, the interlocking design considerably reduces the amount of visible steel between each casement which increases the amount of light and ventilation.”

Each rooflight is made according to the specification and can be opening or fixed with optional features including remote control opening to allow flexibility.
