The Chrome Rooflight Hand Winder Opener – Telescopic is a screw-jack operated rooflight opener finished in polished chrome. Designed for timber-framed rooflights and skylights, the high-reflective finish gives it a crisp, bright appearance that suits both contemporary and traditional interiors. Available in 150mm, 250mm, and 300mm sizes to match different rooflight positions and throw requirements.
The unit features a threaded screw-jack barrel and a right-angle crank handle in polished chrome, with a telescopic shaft for installation flexibility. Operation is straightforward — the crank handle engages the screw-jack and holds the rooflight securely at the desired ventilation position. Throw: 157mm. Suitable for use with Lumen Rooflights and compatible timber-framed skylights.
Widely used in conservatories and orangeries, this opener is equally suited to kitchen extensions with over-sink rooflights, loft rooms, garden rooms, and period properties where polished chrome hardware is consistent with the existing fittings. It offers the same mechanical reliability as the satin and brass variants, with a finish that will appeal where a brighter, more polished appearance is preferred.
Available in three sizes. For advice on sizing, compatibility, or to discuss your project, call 0333 987 4452 or use the contact form on our website.

The Brass Rooflight Opener Handle 1520mm is a pole-operated handle designed for manual rooflight opening mechanisms. It is suitable for use with Lumen Rooflights and compatible timber-framed skylights, and is particularly appropriate for period and heritage properties where a brass finish is specified.
Yes. Cast iron airbricks are the appropriate material for listed buildings and conservation area properties where the original ventilation grilles were cast iron. They maintain the character and material authenticity required by most conservation officers and listed building consent conditions. We recommend confirming the specific pattern with your conservation officer before ordering.

Yes. The ornamental foliate pattern was widely used in Victorian construction and is appropriate for Grade II listed buildings and conservation area properties. Its decorative character is often preferable to a plain pattern on prominent or formal elevations. We recommend confirming the pattern with your conservation officer as part of any listed building consent application.
Yes. The Louvre Airbrick is dimensioned to standard brick course openings and is suitable for direct replacement of worn, broken, or missing original cast iron louvre grilles. If you are unsure of the size required, measure the opening in the brickwork rather than the existing damaged grille.
We do offer a range of Ogee patterned gutters in both straight and radius profiles. The straight profiles are much more common and as such cost less.
Cast iron hopper heads from Tuscan Foundry are available in Standard Black (a factory-applied primer and topcoat finish) and Heritage Colours. A linseed oil paint finish is also available, providing a vapour-permeable, historically authentic coating that is particularly appropriate for listed buildings and conservation projects. Full finish specifications are available from the team.
A hit and miss vent has a sliding plate on the back of the grille that can be opened, partially restricted, or closed entirely without removing the vent from the wall. This allows airflow to be controlled from inside the building, making it suitable for underfloor void ventilation and through-wall ventilation where adjustable airflow is needed.
The Cast Iron Louvre Airbrick suits Victorian, Edwardian, and inter-war residential and commercial properties where the louvre-pattern vent was the standard specification. It is the correct like-for-like replacement on listed buildings and conservation area properties, and suits new heritage-style construction requiring an authentic period ventilation grille.
For rooflights directly above a worktop or sink, a telescopic screw-jack hand winder is the most practical choice. Available in polished brass, satin chrome, and polished chrome, these openers allow controlled ventilation from a fixed handle position without requiring a pole. The 150mm or 250mm size is typically appropriate for standard-height kitchen rooflights.
