The Brass Rooflight Hand Winder Opener – Telescopic is a screw-jack operated rooflight opener finished in polished brass. Designed for timber-framed rooflights and skylights, it combines mechanical simplicity with a warm, traditional aesthetic that sits comfortably in period and heritage interiors. Available in 150mm and 300mm sizes, the telescopic mechanism adjusts to accommodate varying rooflight positions and throw requirements.
The unit is constructed with a threaded screw-jack barrel and a right-angle crank handle, both in polished brass. The telescopic shaft allows positioning flexibility, and the mounting bracket provides a secure, direct fix to the rooflight frame. Throw: 165mm. Suitable for use with Lumen Rooflights and compatible timber-framed skylights.
This opener is well suited to period houses, Georgian and Victorian terraces, conservation area properties, traditional orangeries, and any project where a brass finish is specified to complement existing ironmongery or architectural metalwork. It is one of the most widely used rooflight openers in the Tuscan Foundry range.
Available in 150mm and 300mm sizes. For information on compatibility, fitting, or to discuss your project, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form on our website.

Yes. Cast iron rainwater goods are widely accepted by conservation officers and historic environment bodies as the appropriate material for listed buildings. Tuscan Foundry's hopper heads are manufactured in solid cast iron to BS 460 specification and are suitable for all listed building grades. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, which is particularly appropriate for conservation projects.
All of our cast iron radiators are availbale as standard with a 1/2″ BSP (15mm) connection. We are though also able to supply many of our radiators and valves with 3/4″ BSP connections. Due to the size proportions of some radiators and valves 3/4″ connections may be more suitable.
The Antique Black cast iron version is suitable for external use. The Polished Lacquered version is best suited to interiors or sheltered external locations where the polished finish will be protected from weathering. The Polished Brass version is suited to interior and semi-exposed locations. For external applications on exposed elevations, the Antique Black finish is the recommended specification.

This opener is particularly well suited to period and heritage properties — Georgian and Victorian terraces, conservation area houses, traditional orangeries, and listed buildings where a brass finish is required to complement existing ironmongery. It is compatible with Lumen Rooflights and most timber-framed skylights.
The Polished Lacquered finish suits buildings where period ironwork was finished bright rather than painted — formal entrance elevations, listed properties, and settings where the grille contributes to the decorative programme of the facade. It is appropriate for conservation specifications and high-specification heritage new build.
