Ultraframe launches new Stratus Flat Skylight

Ultraframe has launched the new Stratus Flat Skylight, a product that is designed to instantly enhance any home extension project by flooding interiors with natural light while offering a rapid, hassle-free installation at a competitive price.

Developed by Ultraframe’s R&D team, the Stratus Flat Skylight is said to deliver an ideal balance of ‘style, performance, practicality and price’, making it a go-to choice for installers and homeowners alike.

It offers a contemporary profile and low-sightline frame for a refined finish that according to Ultraframe, complements any modern kitchen or dining extension.

The fitter friendly design ensures a rapid two-piece installation process, saving both time and effort on-site. Installation is said to be ‘straightforward’ – simply fix the frame in place and then click in the glass. Ultraframe says that this streamlined approach makes fitting quicker, cleaner, and more efficient, reducing labour time without compromising on quality or finish.

Andrew Thomson, Ultraframe research and development director, said: “We wanted to design a flat skylight that not only looks beautiful but truly works for fitters on-site. The Stratus Flat Skylight achieves that with its innovative two-piece design – simply fix the frame, then click in the glass. It’s that easy.”

The Stratus Flat Skylight has been tested to BSI 6375 standards for superior weather performance and peace of mind. Its advanced five-seal system provides outstanding weather protection, while an integrated drip profile directs water away from the kerb, extending product life and maintaining performance.

The system incorporates an exceptional sealing design, featuring five high-performance seals engineered to deliver superior weather protection and long-term durability. According to Ultraframe, this multi-seal configuration effectively eliminates common issues associated with other flat skylights. By replacing the single-seal approach with a robust, layered sealing solution, the design ensures enhanced resistance to the elements and consistent performance across varying environmental conditions.

“Why settle for one seal when you can have five?” added Andrew. “Every detail of Stratus has been engineered for long-term reliability and installer confidence.”

Combining aluminium externals for strength and durability with a PVC inner frame for optimal thermal performance, Ultraframe says it has value engineered the new Stratus Flat Skylight to be price competitive, with a 30% lower profile vs other lanterns, clean lines, and hidden fixings for a flawless, modern aesthetic.

Available made-to-measure in a range of square or rectangular configurations from 500mm x 500mm up to 1,500mm x 2,750mm, it can be finished in grey (RAL7016), black (RAL9005) or white (RAL9003).

It also features noise-reducing glass, a thermally broken design, and is fully Building Regulations compliant.
