28x28 cm rooflights

Why choose a 28 x 28 cm rooflight?

Every bit of space matters in a converted vehicle, including on the roof. The 28 x 28 cm rooflight provides a compact opening to improve ventilation inside. It is particularly suited to small spaces, such as a toilet area or washroom, where the vehicle’s layout allows it to be installed.

When opened while parked, it helps hot air and moisture escape. A translucent cover also lets in natural light, while an opaque finish offers more privacy. The choice therefore depends on the planned position and the comfort you want on board.

How do you choose a 28 x 28 cm rooflight?

Before buying, check the cut-out dimensions specified by the manufacturer: the stated size does not necessarily match the frame’s external dimensions. If replacing an existing rooflight, measure the roof opening accurately.

Also check the roof thickness the model can accommodate, including insulation and interior lining. Then compare the opening mechanism and whether it has a flyscreen, blackout blind or permanent ventilation. These features vary by model.

Preparing to install your rooflight

The position must take account of the vehicle’s reinforcements, the contours of the metal roof and any equipment already installed on it. Depending on the layout, an adaptor or reinforcement frame may be needed.

Waterproofing deserves particular attention. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions to choose compatible fixings and installation products. Explore our selection of sealants and adhesives for conversions to prepare for installation.

Adding ventilation to your vehicle

Ventilation needs to be considered across the whole interior. Depending on your project, ventilation grilles for vans and motorhomes can complement your installation. Check each product’s specifications to choose a solution that suits how you use your vehicle.
