Brett Martin gets even warmer with
Ritchlight
Ritchlight Ultra, a major new development in architectural roof lights by Brett Martin Daylight Systems, introduces a fully thermally broken frame for the first time in any skylight system.
This major addition to the Ritchlight range virtually eliminates any additional heat loss through the frame, which is traditionally associated with roof lights, and eradicates any cold spots, dramatically reducing the risk of condensation The addition of a thermal break in the Ritchlight Ultra's kerb splits the aluminium structure of the high-performance roof light into internal and external components

New Brett Martin Filler trounces its rivals
Brett Martin Daylight Systems launch Supaseal, a new filler that shows outstanding performance, verified in a range of tests on all the important physical properties for profiled fillers.
For the first time this provides a roof light with a frame which matches the performance of the glazing, which is available in a range of options which enable specifiers to achieve U-values up to 1.1W/mk - exceeding Part L Building Regulation requirements by 50%.
With a choice of pitched glazing styles (including gable and hip ends, pyramid sky lights and lantern bases) the Ritchlight Ultra is a versatile roof lighting solution for use in the education, healthcare, retail and residential sectors.
The range is further complemented by Brett Martin Daylight Systems' unique supply and fit service that covers site survey to bespoke fabrication and final fixing, to give specifier and client complete peace of mind.
The Ritchlight Ultra is available glazed in glass or structured polycarbonate.
A 1.1W/mk U-value can be achieved using Brett Martin Daylight Systems' glass specification featuring a toughened outer, 12mm argon-filled cavity and a Low E laminated inner that uses a soft-coated surface to the laminate.
Alternative options include Marlon 32mm XX wall polycarbonate (which has a U-value of 1.4W/mk), double glazed glass or Marlon 25mm 5 wall-structured polycarbonate that both have a U-value of 1.6W/mk.
The number of glazing options is complemented by ventilation preferences, all with internal and external lines that are flush, enhancing the aesthetics and eliminating unsightly insect traps.
Ideal for modular units up to a five-metre span, Ritchlight Ultra is pre-assembled to eliminate defects.
It is durable (has a 20-year guarantee against leakage) and robust, with machined joints and fully gasketted and welded kerbs. Request a free brochure from Brett Martin Daylight Systems ...
