Manual opening skylight for air circulation

Product variations:
Rooflights
Practicable skylight made made of double 3mm thickness methacrylate dome, fixed to a 15cm reinforced polyester basis, intended for overhead lighting and access to the roof. Suitable for any roof in all kind of buildings.

Advantages & Benefits

  • Danosa skylights provide perfect diffusion of sunlight, significantly reducing electrical energy consumption and guaranteeing watertight protection and the absence of condensation.
  • Opening mechanism: System with PVC frame and telescopic spindle with double stroke, manually operated from the inside by means of a crank handle. The opening angle can be adjusted.

Instruction for Use

1- Centre the base-plinth on the open hole in the roof.
2- Using lag bolts or steel nails, fix the base-plinth to the roof:
  • Three units per metre on the heel periphery of the plinth.
  • On concrete roofs, this will be done with dowels, washers and Ø 6 mm lag bolts.
  • On sheet metal roofs with insulation and waterproofing, this will be done by direct screw fixing on the structure. If the roof is installed before the sheet metal, it shall be installed on an auxiliary frame fixed or welded to the structure. If the skylights are installed after the sheet metal is laid, they shall be fixed through the sheet metal onto the structure.
3- Apply the waterproofing layer, covering the outer wall of the skirting board, which prevents filtrations to the interior through the permeable polyester base. The waterproofing must be finished off correctly to avoid leakage from the skylight drip between the waterproofing membrane and the skirting board.
4- Remove the protective film from the valve and dome.
5- Place the valve on the baseboard, and place the self-adhesive washers on the upper face of the valve, making them coincide with the holes and on top of it the dome, making sure that the red marks coincide. Screw the dome onto the base of the plinth at the points drilled for this purpose. The use of a clutch drill with a low torque setting is recommended. The maximum torque for the screw used is 14Nm. Do not over-tighten the bolts, as:
  • There is a risk of dome breakage.
  • The effect of the expansion joint is cancelled.
6- Place the cover caps on the screws.
  • For further information, please contact our Technical Department.

IMPORTANT: Do not handle the dome until assembly of the base has been completed. This avoids possible permanent stains caused by the tarpaulin or any other damage.

Indications and Important Recommendations

  • This product is part of a construction system, so the Danosa Catalogue of Construction Solutions, Specifications and other Danosa documentation must be taken into account.
  • Work must not be carried out when weather conditions may be harmful, in particular when it is snowing or there is snow or ice on the roof, when it is raining or the roof is wet, or when there is a strong wind blowing.
  • All mandatory regulations in this regard will be taken into account.

Handling, storage and preservation

  • On receipt of the material, check the units and measurements, ensuring that they coincide with the requirements on site.
  • When signing the carrier's documentation, include the note: "Accepted except examination" or similar, if the material cannot be examined at the time of receipt. If any breakage or anomaly is observed, indicate it directly on the carrier delivery note.
  • Store away from machinery that could come into contact with it.
  • Report any anomaly in the material within 24 hours of receipt. If not, DANOSA is not responsible for claims of breakage in transport.
  • Maintenance: The domes will be cleaned using soapy water, excluding any corrosive product.
  • Do not rest any object on the domes: Deformations can occur in the methacrylate.
  • Do not place the skylights directly on the roof. In the case of deck roofs, it can cause damage to the sheet and to the domes themselves, if deposited directly on the sheet, due to the temperatures reached by the roof and the lack of ventilation.
  • Check that the packaging and equipment are in good condition.
  • Once on site, keep the skylights in their packaging until they are installed on the roof.
