Three Days Of Daylighting

The Rooflight Association will use three days at FIT Show 2027 to promote higher standards in design, installation and compliance; and the importance of daylighting.

The event will provide an important opportunity for the association to engage directly with rooflight and roof window installers, fabricators, manufacturers, suppliers and distributors, as well as architects, specifiers and key decision-makers across the public and private sectors.

Daylights

Rooflights and roof windows play an important role in the modern built environment, supporting daylighting, energy efficiency, thermal performance, ventilation and occupant wellbeing.

Future Homes Standard

As building regulations continue to evolve, FIT Show 2027 will also take place at a crucial time for the sector, with the Future Homes Standard officially coming into force on 24 March 2027.

The Rooflight Association will use its presence at the show to help fabricators, installers and specifiers understand the changing regulatory landscape and make informed decisions about rooflight design, product selection and installation.

Visitors to the stand will have access to industry experts and member representatives, who will be available to offer clear, practical and impartial guidance on technical performance, product specification, regulatory compliance, daylighting design, energy efficiency, installation challenges and rooflight safety.

Whole-roof strategy

As demand for photovoltaic technology increases, rooflights and roof windows risk being pushed out of roof design in favour of solar panels. The association believes this needs to be approached through a balanced, whole-roof strategy that considers daylight, energy generation, building performance and occupant wellbeing together.

Laminated inner pane

The inner pane of a rooflight should always be laminated glass, the association will tell visitors. A campaign will focus on safety, performance and the importance of making informed choices at the specification stage.

Engagement

Mark Wilcox, Chair of The Rooflight Association, said: “As the UK construction sector strives to deliver better, smarter and more efficient buildings, the role of high-quality daylighting solutions is more important than ever. FIT Show 2027 provides us with the platform to engage directly with installers, fabricators, specifiers and manufacturers alike.

“We are looking forward to sharing our expertise, supporting the trade with clear technical guidance and driving the highest standards across the rooflighting sector throughout 2027 and beyond.”
