Quick Installation
Because Ultraframe has a click fit frame, these flat skylights will fit perfectly into your Cheshire home. But at Fortress, we don’t sacrifice quality for expedience. We’ll make sure that your bespoke flat skylight is precision fit to your orangery, conservatory, or living room. Just choose the size for your home today.
Thermally Efficient
You’ll be able to invite infinitely more natural light into your home when you install flat skylights. That’s why we want to ensure that they are as thermally efficient as the rest of your house. The ‘Warm Frame’ technology provides full insulation and offers U-values of 1.2 W/m2K. But for additional thermal efficiency, you can choose triple glazing for your flat skylight.
Slim Frames
One of the benefits of our flat skylights is the ultra slim aluminium frames. Aluminium’s high strength to weight ratio means that even while holding triple glazing, sightlines are still lower than other materials, making them look ‘frameless’. And when you look at our 4mm, and 6mm stepped units, you can help improve the noise reduction of your home by 34dB.
Upgrade
When you decide on the optional waterproof kerb for your flat skylight, you help reduce the chance of leaks in the long run. The weathering tape provides double waterproofing for the joints, and the 4° pitch reduces puddles and staining. And the chambered design helps improve thermal efficiency. Plus, the 4° pitch has been set to comply with building regulations and to provide optimal weight bearing capability.
Glass
Some of our customers have looked for flat skylights for conservatories and are worried about summertime heat. But when you choose these flat skylights, you’ll have the option to choose clear or blue glass for reduced solar gain. And in the winter, the 16mm argon filled cavity helps to improve insulation between the interior and exterior of your home.

In fact, they can! If you have a flat roof and are looking to install a flat skylight, you may need to upgrade to the kerb option, which offers a 4° pitch, to reduce puddles and ensure that the skylight can withstand loads like snow or wind.
Flat skylights must have a minimum of a 3° pitch for these very reasons.
A roof lantern is typically hipped, protruding from the roofline, while a flat skylight is often parallel with the roof (if slightly pitched).
