The manual skylight is designed for homeowners who want natural daylight and controlled ventilation without the complexity of an electric opening system. It is suitable for pitched-roof spaces such as attics, stairwells, bedrooms and bathrooms.
A manual skylight combines a roof-integrated frame, insulated glazing, opening sash and flashing system. The sash can be operated by a handle for easy-to-reach installations or by a telescopic rod for higher ceilings.
The key engineering objective is to deliver daylight and ventilation while keeping the roof opening weather-tight. Glass selection, frame insulation, gasket compression and flashing details should be considered together rather than as separate parts.

| Optional Accessories | Insect screen, blackout blind, interior blind, telescopic rod and exterior shading |
| Customization | Frame finish, opening size, glazing, roof flashing and accessory package |
The skylight typically uses insulated glass to reduce heat transfer. Low-E glass can help manage radiation, while laminated inner glass improves post-breakage retention for overhead applications.
The frame supports the roof interface, while the opening sash carries the glass and transfers operating loads through hinges and hardware. A thermally improved frame helps reduce condensation risk around the perimeter.
Flashing is the transition layer between the skylight and roof. It must match the roofing material, roof pitch and drainage direction to prevent water from collecting around the opening.
Bring daylight and natural ventilation into converted attics, top-floor bedrooms and loft living spaces.
Improve daylight distribution in vertical circulation areas where side-wall windows are limited.
Support natural ventilation in moisture-prone rooms when installed with appropriate insect screens and blinds.
Provide overhead daylight for internal corridors and enclosed areas beneath pitched roofs.
It is a roof window opened manually by a handle, winding mechanism or telescopic rod, providing daylight and fresh-air ventilation.
Yes. A telescopic control rod or manual winding device can be used when the window is beyond normal hand reach.
Double-glazed safety glass is commonly selected, with Low-E, laminated or tinted options chosen according to climate and safety needs.
Yes. A manually opening skylight can support ventilation in bathrooms when the roof interface and moisture-resistant finishes are properly designed.
Shading is recommended for roofs with strong direct sunlight, especially over bedrooms, attic spaces and west-facing roof slopes.
Use a flashing system matched to the roof material and pitch, maintain drainage paths and ensure the frame is installed square and level.
Yes. Insect screens can be installed to allow ventilation while reducing insect entry.
U-value measures heat transfer through the skylight, while SHGC indicates how much solar heat passes through the glazing. Both should be selected for the local climate.
Yes. Final dimensions should be confirmed according to roof structure, desired daylight area and available structural opening.
Inspect the glass, flashing, drainage channels, seals and operating hardware at least annually and after severe weather.
