Numerous global research projects have proven that maximising daylight within a building has a positive impact on people. Workplaces flooded with natural light see an increase in staff morale and productivity, naturally-lit shopping centres report higher sales, and schools see greater academic and behavioural performance. With this in mind, the team at Whitesales has designed the Em-Line bespoke polycarbonate rooflights range, which can be tailored to your build’s precise requirements and regulations, while consistently guaranteeing industry-leading thermal and light transmission performance.
Bespoke, purpose-built rooflights that work for you
Whitesales’ versatile bespoke Em-Line monopitch polycarbonate glazed flat-roof windows – designed to create a minimalist finish – boast an innovative flush design which ensures efficient water drainage and an edge detail for unrivalled insulation value. The bespoke Em-Line ridgelight continuous rooflights have a slope pitch of 15-60° and are manufactured from proprietary aluminium extrusions, while the purpose-built, self-supporting Em-Line pyramid and lantern rooflights create a striking visual addition to your build.
Each bespoke rooflight in the Em-Line range is installed on-site, either to a builder’s upstand or a Whitesales Em-Curb proprietary upstand, and are available with various ventilation options which can be operated either manually or electronically – from wall switches and remote controls, to reacting to wind and rain sensors, making them one of the most innovative options on the market. All are available in a range of polycarbonate glazing types to suit your thermal requirements.
Creating a light, airy atmosphere for students
An example of this bespoke service within the education sector was a project Whitesales undertook with Sale Grammar School in Manchester. Whitesales was approached to supply and install a variety of different rooflight styles, shapes and types for an extensive roof refurbishment project which involved replacing all old, existing rooflights with something aesthetically pleasing yet economical. Among the rooflights recommended by Whitesales’ expert team were six Em-Line monopitches, an Em-Line gable-ended ridgelight and an eye-catching hip-ended lantern light, all of which combined to allow daylight to flood into this learning environment.
