Will a glass skylight make the room too hot in summer?

We recommend Low-E solar shield or tinted double glazed safety glass that reflects infrared solar heat while allowing natural visible daylight to pass through.

Can skylights be installed on flat concrete roofs?

Yes, we construct custom angled aluminium upstands to ensure proper rainwater run-off and drainage on flat roofs.

Can Aluminium Skylights be custom-manufactured for non-standard openings?

Yes. Every aluminium skylights unit is manufactured to order according to your exact on-site measurements. Whether your space features unconventional architectural dimensions or specific structural tolerances, we fabricate frames that fit perfectly with zero gaps.

How much does Aluminium Skylights cost and do you provide free on-site quotes?

Pricing starts from around R4,500 per custom unit / m², influenced by custom dimensions, material profile grade, and hardware. We provide 100% free on-site measuring and itemized written quotations across Johannesburg, Pretoria, and the greater Gauteng region.

What powder coating colors and finishes are available for Aluminium Skylights?

Our aluminium skylights frames are available in durable architectural powder-coated finishes including Matte Charcoal, Jet Black, Pure White, Bronze, and Natural Anodized Silver. Custom UV-stable RAL colors are also available upon request to match your home or office palette.

What is the expected turnaround time from measurement to completed installation?

From initial site measurement and quote sign-off, custom manufacturing in our workshop typically takes 5 to 7 working days. Fitting is carried out cleanly and efficiently in 1 to 2 days by our background-checked, insured installation specialists.

Does Aluminium Skylights offer acoustic soundproofing and energy efficiency?

Yes. Tight perimeter compression seals together with high-performance glass units or solid insulated panels significantly reduce exterior street noise, traffic rumble, and heat transfer—keeping your indoor environment quiet and energy efficient all year round.

What maintenance is required to keep Aluminium Skylights in prime condition?

Maintenance is remarkably low. Simply wipe powder-coated surfaces with mild soapy water and a soft microfiber cloth every few months. Keep sliding tracks clean of grit and apply a light silicone lubricant to moving locks and rollers once a year.

Can you remove and replace old existing fixtures when installing Aluminium Skylights?

Yes. Our technicians carefully remove old, damaged, or outdated frames and fixtures without damaging your existing brickwork, plaster, or tile surrounds, safely hauling away all old materials from your property upon completion.
