Triple Glazed Structural Glass
Invisio Frameless Rooflights
The Invisio® Strip Rooflight is a frameless structural glass rooflight system designed to bring exceptional levels of daylight into contemporary homes, extensions and commercial buildings. These long, narrow rooflights use multiple structural glass panels connected with minimal silicone joints to create uninterrupted runs of overhead glazing.
Ideal for hallways, kitchen extensions and open-plan living spaces, the Strip Rooflight delivers a clean architectural appearance while maximising natural light. Available with advanced glazing options including solar control glass, low iron glass and high-performance triple glazing, each rooflight is engineered to suit the specific requirements of your project.
The CAD Details for the Invisio System are available to request here.
Electric & Mortised Rooflight Solutions
For projects requiring ventilation as well as daylight, IQ Glass also offers electric rooflight and motorised rooflight solutions. While the Invisio® Strip Rooflight is designed as a fixed structural glass rooflight, it can be combined with opening rooflight systems elsewhere within a glazing scheme to provide natural ventilation and improved indoor comfort.
Electric rooflights are operated via wall switches, remote controls or smart home systems, offering convenient control of ventilation. Motorised rooflights can also be specified with rain sensors and automated controls for enhanced functionality within modern residential and commercial buildings.
Sliding Rooflight Designs
Where a fully open roof aperture is required, sliding rooflight systems provide an innovative alternative to fixed roof glazing. A sliding rooflight combines the benefits of natural daylight with the ability to create a large opening to outdoor spaces, terraces or roof gardens.
IQ Glass can advise on the most suitable roof glazing solution depending on your design requirements, whether that is a fixed Strip Rooflight, an opening rooflight or a sliding rooflight system.

Specifying a Strip Rooflight
The design of the Invisio® Strip Rooflight can be adapted to suit a wide range of architectural requirements. Each rooflight is engineered to meet project-specific loading requirements, thermal performance targets and design objectives, ensuring a bespoke structural glass solution for every scheme.
Available in a variety of lengths and glazing specifications, Strip Rooflights can be installed into new build homes, contemporary extensions and commercial projects. IQ Glass can assist with detailing, structural requirements and integration with different roof constructions and building materials.
For projects requiring ventilation in addition to daylight, IQ Glass can also advise on electric rooflight and motorised rooflight solutions. These opening rooflight systems can be incorporated within wider roof glazing designs, providing controlled natural ventilation, improved indoor comfort and seamless integration with modern smart home technology.
Where access to an external space or a large opening roof aperture is desired, sliding rooflight systems provide an alternative solution, combining the benefits of natural light with the ability to create a dramatic opening to terraces, courtyards and roof gardens.
Frameless Roof Glazing Design
The Invisio® Strip Rooflight has been developed to deliver a completely frameless aesthetic from both inside and outside the building. Structural glass panels are connected using minimal silicone joints, creating long, uninterrupted runs of roof glazing with exceptionally clean sightlines.
All structural glass fixings can be concealed within the surrounding building construction, allowing the rooflight to integrate seamlessly into contemporary architectural designs. The result is a minimalist structural glass rooflight that maximises natural daylight while maintaining a refined architectural appearance.
This frameless approach makes the Strip Rooflight an ideal solution for luxury residential projects, glass extensions and high-end commercial developments where visual simplicity and performance are equally important. Combined with advanced glazing options and complementary electric rooflight, motorised rooflight and sliding rooflight systems, IQ Glass can provide a complete roof glazing solution tailored to the needs of each project.

Specification
Maximum Sizes
In order to create a ‘strip’ rooflight with no internal steel or glass beams to support the silicone joints the span must be less than 1.3m.
The length of each glass unit can be up to 6m in length although this maximum length per glass unit will be greatly reduced if no crane lift is required for the glass installation.
As many structural glass units can be connected together as you require in order to create the long thin rooflight design required from the Invisio Strip Rooflight.
Glass Specification
We engineer each structural glass unit to each project specific requirements. Our rooflights will always be engineered with a toughened laminate inner pane for safety and security.
All of our rooflight designs are engineered to take a standard maintenance load for two men to stand on the roof for access, maintenance or cleaning. This also allows our structural glass roof designs to be classed as ‘non-fragile’.

Triple Glazed Structural Glass
Strip rooflight applications can be constructed with triple glazing for enhanced thermal and acoustic performance. IQ Glass uses the Invisio+ structural glazing system, whose deeper profiles allow for high-performance triple glazed units while maintaining a minimal, frameless appearance.
