Bespoke single unit flat glass rooflights that direct daylight into specific areas of a building.
Key benefits:
Monolight is a bespoke single unit rooflight which can transform a dull room by flooding the space with natural light from above. Due to the glass top construction the light incidence is maximised, meaning that the light area is equal to the hole in the roof. Monolight consists of a glass top unit and a wooden upstand and is available as a fixed or comfort venting unit.
Modular Rooflights are made to measure and can be configured, manufactured and delivered in bespoke sizes for specific requirements. Monolight fixed and venting are available as burglary-resistant versions according to EN 1627:2011 and NEN 5096-2012+A1:2015: Class 2 (RC 2).
Modular Rooflights are produced off-site at our factory. Monolight consists of a glass top unit and a wooden upstand and is available as fixed or comfort venting modules. The wooden upstand is supplied from 150 mm up to 600 mm depending on project requirements. Monolight Walk-on is only available as fixed and with an upstand from 175-600 mm.
Our interactive product cut sample is a fully rendered and interactive 3D model that allows you to examine the shape and design of the Modular Rooflights Monolight in much greater detail than possible through photography alone.
Our model allows you to view the product from every direction and zoom in and out to view it up close.
Venting Monolight rooflights can be controlled using either VELUX io-homecontrol® or Open System ±24V (OS ±24V DC) control systems. The Open System allows integration with common building automation fieldbus systems such as KNX, BACnet, LON, and Modbus through the integrated WindowMaster MotorLink™ technology.
VELUX Modular Rooflights provide excellent acoustic performance: ratings of 52-49 dB for double glazing and 49-48 dB for triple glazing. These higher acoustic ratings make Monolight rooflights suitable for buildings in noisy environments or where sound insulation is important, such as schools, offices, or buildings near high-traffic areas.
To evaluate whether your existing roof can support Modular Rooflights, an engineer will need to consider:
Yes, VELUX Commercial offers color customization options for Monolight frames to complement your building's aesthetic design. While the standard powder coating options are RAL 7043 and RAL 9005, both with a gloss 30 finish, we understand that architectural projects often require precise color matching. To accommodate this need, we can provide custom RAL colors upon request to ensure your rooflights integrate seamlessly with your building's design scheme.
We offer several solutions for glare management in sensitive environments like schools and offices. The glazing units for Monolight come with different coating options specifically designed to control sunlight. For environments with high solar exposure, the Sun1 coating is available for both double and triple glazing, reducing light transmittance to 61% (DG) or 55% (TG) compared to the standard 80% and 71% respectively, while significantly reducing solar heat gain.
Additionally, the Monolight can be equipped with roller blinds in white, grey, or black fire-retardant fabric. These blinds are designed with thin, free-floating wires creating an invisible effect, allowing for flexible daylight and glare control throughout the day as lighting conditions change. The blinds can be integrated seamlessly with the rooflight system and operated through the same control systems that manage the ventilation.
This comprehensive approach to glare management helps create comfortable visual environments in schools where students need optimal conditions for learning and concentration, and in offices where screen work requires balanced lighting to reduce eye strain and maintain productivity.
VELUX Commercial Modular Rooflights, including Monolight, can be installed in flat and pitched roofs from 0° up to 15°. A minimum 3° pitch on the module installation is recommended to avoid ponding water on the glass surface. The watertightness of Monolight has been tested and achieved Class E1200 under EN12208 and EN1027 standards – meaning it resisted wind-driven rain at 1200 Pa without leaking. It is a top-tier rating, indicating excellent performance for watertightness.
