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.

The louvre face provides directional airflow and offers some resistance to driven rain entering the subfloor void, making it a practical choice for exposed elevations or properties in areas with significant prevailing wind and rainfall. The square-grid (school board) pattern offers a larger open ventilation area but less weather protection.
