Key Learning outcomes
- Understand non-fragility classification criteria
- Recognise the different classification levels of non-fragility
- Understand rooflight application specifications
- Identify the different installation methods relevant to rooflight categories
- Understand different surface coatings on walk-on units, in the context of slip ratings
In construction, rooflights provide an invaluable source of daylight, for structures which may otherwise have low levels of natural illumination. Each category of rooflight has a distinct classification, in terms of fragility, loading level, installation method and surface coating. Understanding the characteristics and criteria of the various rooflight options is critical to ensuring a compliant and appropriate selection.
