A Woodroffe Roof Window is suitable for any area of your home that requires, not only natural light but also controllable ventilation. Create that open natural fresh feeling when you install a Woodroffe Roof Window. The Roof Window can be used as a feature in your home, or simply used to add that extra natural light.

The Woodroffe Roof Window is the ideal solution for providing natural light into attic spaces, a popular method of increasing usable living space. A Woodroffe Roof Window will allow you to bring the outside natural beauty indoors ... as well as adding value to your home.

The Woodroffe Roof Window is manufactured from the highest quality material, using the latest computer technology combined with old-fashioned craftsmanship.

 

Opening Roof Window

The Roof Window is an Australian made product finished in high quality powder coated colours, matching the Colorbond range. The Roof Window is an ideal solution where both light and ventilation are required. A handle winder is fitted with the standard product. A durable fly screen is fitted to ensure protection from insects. Glazing options include both Acrylic and Glass.

 

Closed Roof Window

The fixed Roof Window is available in the same sizes and colour as the open roof window and includes all of the Roof Window features except for the winder and flyscreen. Make a feature of your roof window by splaying the shaft and allowing some of the outside natural beauty into your room.

For over 70 years, Woodroffe have serviced the building industry in Australia as suppliers of quality metal building products. In addition we have become one of the country's leading designers and manufacturers of quality natural lighting products.

The design of the Woodroffe Roof Window has been carefully developed to maintain the heritage character of older style homes, and also to complement the latest architecture and modern designs of buildings.

The Woodroffe Roof Window has been selected for many projects including the prestigious Finger Bay Wharf project at Woolloomooloo N.S.W., where 400 Roof Windows were required, and the Kensington Banks project at Flemington, Victoria. Many architects, building designers and government departments are specifying and installing the Woodroffe Roof Window, not only because they are manufactured in Australia, but because they believe the product to be of international standard.

Outside: This is the overall outside dimension of the Surround, i.e. the size of the Roof Window as it appears on a roof.
Throat: This is the internal dimension of the Liner, i.e. the size of the Roof Window as it appears from inside a room.
Penetration: This is the minimum dimension required between purlins (without removing & trimming) to enable the Roof Window to be installed. This dimension is taken from outside of the gyprock fixing angle.

Installation

The Woodroffe Roof Windows are completely finished ready to install. Installation is made easy due to the integral 'one piece' flashing system, also saving valuable on-site time.

As the product has been especially engineered for Australian conditions, there is a range of flashings available to suit not only tile, but corrugated and decking profile metal roofing across all roof pitches (2°-85°)

For detailed installation instructions, please contact your nearest distributor.

Glazing Performance

The Roof Window features outstanding solar control characteristics, in both glass and acrylic glazing applications. Both materials offer low UV transmittance (up to 99% elimination) and year round comfort due to excellent thermal performance.

Depending upon the type selected, critical performance figures range from 0.55-0.95 for the shading co-efficient and 3.5-6.0 for the U-Value. Other factors that have been considered are the maximum visible Light Transmittance, Solar Transmittance, the maximum elimination of Ultra Violet Light and Noise Reduction.

For further information on the performance of these points, please request a specification sheet.
