  • Our clients were asking for skylights that could be a bespoke skylight to meet the creative architectural designs for houses and commercial constructions and could be installed at a zero roof pitch. Atlite consulted with the Centre for Design Innovation at Swinburne University to design a roof window that was sleek, provided sufficient insulation and could withstand standardised testing for rain and hail, cyclone and bushfires. It needed to be manufactured to different sizes and shapes according to creative designer’s specifications, could be fixed or openable and be installed without the need of a pitch adaptor

  • Our roof windows passed the test AS 3959 bushfire attack level test and tested to AS4285 water leak test. We have constructed roof windows to meet bespoke specifications both in size and shape. Atlite has successfully designed and supplied roof windows that are circular, triangular, hexagonal, octagonal, pyramid, and rhombus shaped. We have made roof windows that are 18 metres x 550mm. Atlite has designed an electrical sliding roof window that is 5.5m x 2.1m

  • Atlite roof windows are bushfire resistant & are the only skylights that are designed & manufactured in Australia that are Bal40 rated. The energy savings are significant, they look better than acrylic domes, are safer, stronger & they let in more natural sunlight enhancing peoples’ wellbeing Atlite can produce custom-made skylights which benefit architects because they don’t have to limit their creativity to accommodate a standard skylight Our aim is to replace Acrylic Skylights with Double glazed glass skylights within two years.
