Brett Martin Daylight System’s Flat Glass rooflight is the most recent addition to the modular rooflight range, providing high-quality, flat glass rooflight features at competitive prices, with some variants delivered in as little as 48 hours from ordering.

Designed with both building owner and installer in mind, and to cater for a large and growing trend for flat-roofed home extensions that require light and open-plan living, the Flat Glass Rooflight is able to quickly and confidently bring stylish daylight to transform all types of spaces.

Similarly, its Glass Link rooflight is a system of versatile, elegantly designed, factory-glazed rooflight modules that simply lap together to form continuous rooflights of unlimited length, maximising daylight through large-glazed areas and minimal framework.
