DfE publishes polycarbonate rooflights are not an acceptable alternative to glazed rooflights on schools

The Department for Education (DfE) has published a Generic Design Brief which details the technical requirements for the design and construction of Schools forming the Employer’s Requirements for the DfE Construction Framework 2021 and the Offsite Schools Framework (MMC). The School Output Specification states that Polycarbonate rooflights are not an acceptable alternative to glazed rooflights due to UV degradation. LAMILUX has many years’ experience supplying safe and thermally efficient Glass Skylights and compliant Smoke Vents for Schools that meet the output specification.
