70x50 cm rooflights

A 70 x 50 cm rooflight for a brighter interior

Enjoying daylight above the table, kitchen area or bed makes life on board more pleasant. The rectangular 70 x 50 cm rooflight creates a large opening in the roof and brings light into the interior when its cover lets light through.

When opened while parked, it also helps refresh the air and release built-up heat. Choose its position based on the interior layout, roof structure and equipment already installed.

How do you choose a 70 x 50 cm rooflight?

Before choosing a model, check the manufacturer’s required cut-out dimensions. The 70 x 50 cm size, also expressed as 700 x 500 mm, should not be confused with the frame’s external dimensions. These determine how much roof space it actually takes up.

Next, check the permitted fitting thickness, taking the insulation and interior lining into account. If replacing an existing rooflight, measure the opening and check the fitting requirements for the new one.

Comfort features also make a difference day to day. Depending on the model, these may include a flyscreen, blackout blind, different opening positions or permanent ventilation. The opening mechanism should remain easy to reach and operate once your furniture is installed.

Which size should you choose for your conversion?

A 70 x 50 cm rooflight suits projects that prioritise a large opening above the living area, provided there is enough roof space.

If your layout calls for a smaller opening, explore our 40 x 40 cm rooflights. This square size offers another way to bring ventilation and light into your interior.

For a small space or a roof already occupied by other equipment, take a look at our 28 x 28 cm rooflights too. Their compact size may be more suitable, subject to your vehicle’s specific installation requirements.

Preparing to install a large rooflight

Installing a 70 x 50 cm rooflight requires enough space for the frame and for the cover to open. In particular, check how close it will be to solar panels, roof bars and other openings.

Before making any cuts, locate the bodywork reinforcements and consult the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations and the rooflight instructions. Depending on the shape of the roof, an adaptor or reinforcement frame may be needed.

Careful installation and compatible sealing products help ensure the installation lasts. After fitting, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for use, cleaning and checking the seals.
