Regent Skylight Systems manufacture a large range of lead free skylights to suit all your natural lighting needs. The following information is to be used as a guide when selecting a skylight
 |
Skylights with lead free flashings were
satisfactory and compatible with zinc coated or galvanised roofing materials
commonly used in the past. Times have changed and so have roofing materials,
and lead must now be used with caution. Lead is prone to cause corrosion and is incompatible with Zincalume and Colorbond roofs, valley gutters and down pipes now predominately used for new constructions. |
WHY LEAD FREE SKYLIGHTS?
Regent Lead Free Skylights are totally compatible with Zincalum and
Colorbond roof components. As no lead is used, both a source of
corrosion and the recognized potential health hazard associated with the
use of lead is completely eliminated. This is of particular importance
where run off water is collected from roofs for human consumption. The
elimination of the source of corrosion will prevent premature and costly
replacement. This coupled with the removal of possible health hazards,
will result in increased customer satisfaction.
WHAT TYPE OF ROOF ARE SKYLIGHTS SUITABLE FOR?
Regent Skylights can be manufactured to suit all roof types. Our standard stock
will suit popular types of roofs such as corrugated iron, tile, and metal
deck. Our standard bases are press-formed from Zincalume, however a variety
of other materials can be used (stainless steel, aluminum, copper or galvanised)
for fabricated bases.
HOW ARE SKYLIGHTS MEASURED?
Skylight sizes are the internal dimension of the throat (daylight size).
WHAT TYPE OF DOMES ARE AVAILABLE?
All standard skylights can be fitted with a high impact acrylic, standard acrylic,
or polycarbonate dome. All are available in opal, clear and grey tint.
CAN YOU GET VENTED SKYLIGHTS? |

WHAT TYPE OF LIGHT SHAFT IS USED?
The foremost function of light shafts is to channel the light made available
by the skylight into the living areas throughout the void of the ceiling space.
Regent Skylight Kits commonly use the highly reflective flexilight shaft. Not
only does this type of shaft channel down the light, but because of its flexible
nature, it can bypass obstructions in the roof cavity, saving structural work
during installation
DO REGENT HAVE FIRE RESISTANT PRODUCTS?
Fire dampers are available as an accessory for fire rated installations. They
are generally used in shopping centres, multiple dwelling units, and general
commercial building applications to impede the spread of fire.
