A unusual contract in that the client wanted two rooflights, one within another. They wanted to achieve natural light into a room that otherwise could receive no natural light. We undertook this contract at Sheffield Cathedral and had to scaffold from below, which was a challenge in itself! We assemble our system in our workshop first, as a quality control measure and then flat pack to be reassembled on site. We had to follow strict guidelines as to what we could supply and stringent timeframes.

Tracey Jackson, business development manager for Howells Patent Glazing looks at the importance of natural light in combatingthe ill-effects of the pandemic and how rooflights will be an important architectural tool in designing happy, healthy buildings. Amidst the uncertainty. Howells Glazing has been a major commercial glass supplier for businesses over the past 45 years. Founded in 1973, our family-run firm has been responsible for thousands of firms eager to not only look good but be secure too.

Our rooflights are constructed from aluminium, and are fully thermally broken giving superior thermal efficiency coupled with low maintenance and stylish design. We offer quality powder coated finishes to any standard RAL colour of your choice including dual colour i.e. Different internal and external profile finishes are available including square, ornate and raked features to suit your application. Our rooflights are made to your specific size with pitches ranging from 15 to 45 degrees (30 degrees is our standard).

We offer a versatile product that can be adapted to be used for verandah and canopy applications. These can either be self supported upto 3 metres or if supported with structural steel every 3 metres, it is unlimited.
