Rooflights
Rooflights, also known as skylights, can be installed on pitched or flat roofs to maximise natural daylight and reduce dependency on electrical lighting, saving energy and reducing costs. Read More
Rooflights help to promote a better sense of wellbeing, and are installed in schools, healthcare facilitates, offices, factories and recreational areas.
They are also suitable for use in domestic properties, particularly in rooms where vertical windows cannot be installed, such as attics or loft conversions.
Flat, domed, pyramidal, barrel vaulted, trapezoidal, ridged, lantern and wedge shaped rooflights are offered with a range of glazing options, including polycarbonate and glass.
Light pipes are an alternative to rooflights, where light is carried through the building and into a room by means of a reflective tube.
