Whether it’s new bifolds or replacement windows around your home, these features can have a huge impact on the look and functionality of a property. We’re spending more time indoors than ever thanks to a working from home culture, so it’s important your spaces work for you. A popular addition many households decide to invest in is roof lights, but what are their benefits?
Here’s everything you need to know about choosing roof lights for your property.
Add more natural sunlight to your home
Roof lights are incorporated into the roof’s design, often opening outwards to let more fresh air into a space.
Some studies have shown that roof light windows may bring in twice as much daylight as their vertically installed counterparts. This is because sunlight can now enter the room from above. It makes roof lights the perfect addition for either a flat or pitched roof as part of a home extension project.
You can even carefully choose the position of roof lights to shine more sunlight into particular spots. This includes cooking preparation areas and dining spaces, creating a welcoming room that’s highly practical too.
Bring the outdoors inside
Roof lights also create stunning visuals of the skies above, which you can benefit from day and night. Imagine an evening dining under the stars or days relaxing on a sofa with blue skies visible from above. Skylights bring the outdoors inside.
As well as large flat roof lights with minimal sightlines, you can also choose smaller skylights with opening mechanisms. This can help enhance airflow and ventilation in the room, which is perfect for reducing humidity in a steamy kitchen or letting in a cool breeze during warmer months.
Roof lights have aesthetical appeal
The addition of roof lights transforms the look and feel of a space, giving a sense of style, whether you have modern or traditional décor. You could even choose a roof lantern as a focal point of a flat-roofed area, such as a kitchen extension or hallway.
Some of the most popular products are those made by Atlas, famous for their slimline aluminium frames. Their roof lanterns are available in all RAL colours and even come in lots of different shapes and sizes, including beautiful pyramid structures.
