Eave rooflight

Eave rooflights sit at the junction between roof slope and wall zone, so the critical work is weather tightness at the head of cladding or brickwork and continuity of insulation. The glass plane is usually inclined slightly to shed water away from the façade while still harvesting low winter sun from the south-west quadrant.

In retrofit projects we review existing wall ties, cavity trays and fire stopping before fixing the curb. Acoustic separation from gutters and downpipes matters on terraced streets, so laminate mass and cavity width are often adjusted independently of the same profile used higher on the roof.
