The U-value is the measurement of heat lost through a roof window. The lower the U-value, the better the rooflight is at keeping heat in.
There are three ways to measure the heat loss of a flat roof window as explained below – Ug, Uw and Ud. The glass Ug-value tends to be the lowest U-value and many rooflight companies only quote this figure which in our eyes is essentially cheating. Building regulations inspectors are not concerned with the rooflight glass U-values, they are more interested in ‘combined product’ U-values.
Clients should also bear in mind that triple glazed rooflights are not necessarily better than double glazed rooflights for the UK climate when you factor in ‘solar gain’ which is free heat harvested from the sun in the spring, autumn and winter.
Heat lost through the middle of the glass is called the Ug-Value. This measurement remains the same irrespective of the rooflight size.
The Uw value measures heat lost through both the aluminium rooflight frame and glass combined.
This is the combined ‘developed area’ heat loss measurement of the glass, frame and insulated kerb combined.
Double-A centre pane Ug-value is 1.0 w/m2k
Triple-K centre pane Ug-value is 0.4 w/m2k
Double-A glazing and frame combined Uw-value from 1.2 w/m2k
Triple-K glazing and frame combined Uw-value from 0.6 w/m2k
Double-A glazing, frame and kerb combined Ud-value from 1.1 w/m2k
Triple-K glazing, frame and kerb combined Ud-value from 0.4 w/m2k
All Blade rooflights fully comply with building regulations minimum heat loss requirements of 1.6 w/m2k for domestic installations and from 1.8 w/m2k for commercial installations. Double-A Blades are double glazed with argon gas and Triple-K Blades are triple glazed with Krypton gas, both with soft coat low-e coatings and warm edge spacer bars.
