LAMILUX introduces ‘Smart Combination’ skylight with integral concertina ladder

Now available from LAMILUX UK, the ‘Smart Combination’ is the result of collaboration between LAMILUX Heinrich Strunz Group, a European leader in daylight systems – and attic ladder & staircase manufacturer Columbus Treppen GmbH.

The concertina ladder is compatible with all modular glass and polycarbonate rooflights in the highly respected LAMILUX CI System.

The company believes it is the first to offer such a fully integrated system which provides products of outstanding functionality with greatly reduced lead times compared with conventional solutions.

Dan Boughton, Managing Director of LAMILUX UK, said: “Until now, combining convenient roof access with a flat roof window, meant customers having to source components from two or more suppliers and then develop and test a bespoke solution. This new innovation takes away all the hassle and makes specification easy, facilitating a quicker turnaround.”

Development departments of both the companies involved, have been collaborating to achieve the perfect flat roof solution which allows for high levels of daylight transmission while granting convenient and easy roof access. In addition, the solution is both safe and uncomplicated to assemble and install.

The components are assembled on site and integrated into the roof as a complete system. The Smart Combination is easily customisable and can be specified in different lengths, widths and colours, as well as various stair heights and inclinations.

The LAMILUX CI Modular Rooflight System around which the Smart Combination is based, offers excellent performance characteristics such as energy efficiency through increased airtightness and an absence of thermal bridges, plus unhindered rainwater runoff. The system also offers a wide variety of glazing options.

Dan Boughton summed up: “Simple ideas are always best, providing the detail execution is right. We’re confident that this new Smart Combination will be a winner with UK specifiers and installers across the commercial and domestic sectors.”
