ROOF DOME-FIXED

Roof Domes Chelmsford

Looking for roof domes in Chelmsford? Then Meridian Building Plastics is the place for you!

A dome-shaped polycarbonate rooflight is a great alternative for a flat glass skylight due to how light interacts with a curved shape. Light that travels through a dome gets bent at a larger angle than it would through a flat glass panel, meaning more light will enter the room below and it will cover a larger area. There will be less glare and a more even distribution of light, too.

If you choose to install a ventilation rooflight, you can allow fresh air to flow in, whilst removing the warm or stale air that will naturally rise upwards.

All of our polycarbonate rooflights and roof domes at Chelmsford’s Meridian Building Plastics are manufactured to the highest standards. They are designed to give maximum weather protection, high impact resistance and UV protection. You can choose from a range of shapes, such as domed or pyramid, and you can decide between a clear, opal, diffused or bronze tinted glazing. Extruded from high-quality UPVC, it also has an integrated water management system to shed water to the outside of the rooflight. Whether you’re building your project from scratch or retrofitting a rooflight to an existing roof, you’ll find no better range of polycarbonate rooflights in Chelmsford!

Both the fixed and opening roof domes in our range come with the all-important, rainwater dissipating upstand (kerb) included as standard.

Fixed Roof Domes

Only suitable for areas that just require natural light and no ventilation, as these polycarbonate roof domes do not open. Ventilation can be added to the upstand directly by way of hit & miss vents or rotary vents.

Opening Roof Domes

The same as our fixed dome rooflight in every way apart from the wormgear mechanism which allows for them to be opened approximately 300mm. Wormgear mechanisms are the smoothest & quietest of the available gear systems. The mechanism is operated by hand with a telescopic handle (not included) at ground level, making this the perfect option for rooms that require regular and consistent periods of ventilation.

Dome Only Rooflights

Dome only rooflights are supplied without the upstand, and are intended to be used when building your own or when replacing an existing dome lid.
