Commercial rooflights are versatile and functional elements that can help meet the daylight requirements of buildings and create healthier indoor climates to support the health and well-being of occupants. Commercial rooflights offer:
- Daylight - Increasing the amount of natural light in a building can cut energy costs and improve building performance and thermal comfort. It can also benefit building occupants and studies have shown that better daylight conditions can increase productivity, satisfaction and performance among workers for example.
- Natural ventilation for comfort - Rooflights can include natural ventilation that provides fresh air to improve the indoor climate and the comfort and health of occupants.
- Smoke ventilation – Commercial rooflights can also act as natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilation (NSHEV) systems in the event of a fire.
- Roof access - Commercial rooflights can provide discreet access to a building rooftop for maintenance purposes. Flat glass units, larger systems and structural glazing can be used for regular access to communal roof terraces.
- Fall-through protection – As well as providing non-fragile systems to either CWCT or ACR, we also offer fall-through protection systems to help increase safety and reduce risks for people who need to access the rooftop for maintenance purposes.

VELUX Commercial offers a wide range of rooflight systems, providing solutions for both refurbishment and new-build projects, and every type of commercial building; from warehouses and manufacturing facilities to schools, offices and shopping centres.
Continuous rooflights
Whether your project demands standardised polycarbonate dome rooflights for an existing flat roof, access hatches for maintenance of a roof top or large lightweight expanses for flooding warehousing with light, VELUX Commercial has a solution.
Our single-unit systems are ideal for adding ventilation and providing roof access, while also providing natural light.
For commercial and industrial applications where large expanses of natural light are required, our continuous rooflight range is ideal.
