• How’s This For A Pitch?

Not only is Aero Pitch fully automated, it is condensation free, holds a BSI Kitemark for its safety and quality and is very easy to install.

It has one universal flashing kit to fit any roof.

 

 “We’ve been flat-roof skylight specialists for 18 years and this is our very first model specifically designed for 20-60° roofs.”

– Justin Seldis 

Managing director, Sunsquare

 

Issues addressed

“Using our design experience, we wanted to address all the common issues installers face with pitched roof skylights, such as limited sizing options, complicated installation, poor thermal performance, condensation, safety and usability – and we’ve ended up with what we think is the most advanced skylight out there,” adds Sunsquare’s Seldis.”

 

Flashing

“It was a priority for us to make Aero Pitch as straight forward as possible for installers,” continues Seldis. “Normally they have to source different flashing kits to suit different roofs, which can be confusing and often costs extra. We wanted to avoid this, which is why we developed one universal flashing kit that will work with any tiled roof. There are no hidden extras, even for made-to-measure sizes - the skylight, flashing kit and upstand all come as part of the package.”

 

Instructions

“Installers also get easy-to-follow instructions, and everything they need to get the job done seamlessly, right down to the exact number of screws.”

 

Sizes and colours

Seldis adds: “Aero Pitch has been designed to be so flexible, it will suit any project installers take on. It can be tailor made to meet any size specification, as well as coming in fixed sizes too. Installers also have a wide choice of glazing options, including double or triple glazing, solar neutral, acoustic or self-cleaning glass.

“Its aluminium frame can be powder-coated in any RAL colour to match any décor and it will work with any blind system. It is even available in a conservation format to suit more traditional buildings.”

 

Smart

The new skylight comes with Smartsquare as standard. This gives users complete control and means they can open or close the skylight wherever they are at the touch of a smart phone button or through virtual assistants such as Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home. They can even programme it to automatically open and close based on weather conditions, humidity, inside temperature, sunrise or sunset or even their proximity to the building.

 

Glass

Aero Pitch uses shatter-proof laminated glass as standard and is also top hinged for extra security. It is also the first pitched roof skylight to hold a BSI Kitemark. This means it has been independently tested to destruction to ensure durability and endurance levels.

 

Energy

As with all Sunsquare skylights, Aero Pitch also provides strong thermal performance. It offers U-values as low as 0.5 W/m²K and is completely thermally broken to protect against cold bridging. It means rooms are kept warm, dry and more energy efficient all year round. Aero Pitch also features argon-filled, soft-coat, low-emissivity glass to help reflect internal heat back into the room. This lets natural light in and helps to keep room temperatures comfortable, while the laminated inner pane blocks harmful UV rays.

 

Great for installers

“Aero Pitch is the perfect pitched roof skylight for installers and their customers,” adds Seldis. “We’ve done away with design limitations and complex fitting processes and instead have created a fully flexible skylight that will work well with any project. Not only that, we’ve ensured it’s the safest, smartest and most thermally efficient skylight out there.”

Picture: Sunsquare has launched Aero Pitch – claiming it to be the world’s most advanced and thermally efficient skylight for 20-60° tiled roofs – and it comes fully automated.
