Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum length and width available for the Vario system?

The Vario system is made to measure and can be configured to virtually unlimited lengths. Typical widths range from 1.20 m up to approximately 11.34 m, depending on design and structural requirements.

What materials are used in the Vario system?

Vario rooflights are constructed using durable aluminium frames and multiwall polycarbonate glazing, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio, high impact resistance and long-term UV stability.

How is a Vario rooflight delivered and installed?

Each rooflight is factory-preassembled to precise measurements, reducing on-site work and installation time. Units are delivered in transportable sections that are joined on-site to create a continuous daylighting run.

How is weather tightness achieved across long runs?

Continuous sealing gaskets, interlocking profiles and specially designed expansion joints maintain tightness against wind-driven rain and temperature changes. Proper integration with the upstand and roof membrane is essential for long-term performance.
