Rooflights & Skylights – Natural light solutions for extensions

We all know that sunshine boosts our mood, so why not bring more of it into your home. Letting natural light into your extension can transform it into a bright, spacious, and inviting living area – even on grey days. Rooflights and skylights are excellent options to maximise natural light and space without requiring major changes, enhancing both your home’s comfort and property value.

1. Glass or Polycarbonate?

It can be intimidating to see the variety of rooflight styles on the market, but your first step is choosing between glass or polycarbonate.

Quick Tip! If the rooflight is visible from outside or serves as an interior focal point, glass is often the best choice for its sleek and stylish appearance.

Glass roof lanterns or pyramid skylights are the ultimate in daylight solutions. Their clean, minimalist design floods extensions with light while creating a stunning visual feature.

2. Function and Style

For extensions with multifunctional roofs – like those doubling as balconies – flat walk-on glass skylights offer durability and elegance.

Quick Tip! Flat walk-on skylights are perfect for single-storey extensions. With anti-slip coatings and a flush design, they combine safety with seamless style.

3. Thermal Performance

Rooflights are rated by their U-value, which measures heat loss. The lower the U-value, the better the energy-saving performance.

Quick Tip! Opt for double-glazed units, or even triple-glazing, with argon-filled cavities. Argon provides superior insulation, reducing energy bills over time.

Too much choice? Confused by the options? At Rooflights&Skylights, our years of experience and hundreds of completed extension projects ensure we can recommend the best, most cost-effective solution for your project.

By carefully selecting the right rooflight, you can achieve a brighter, more comfortable home while adding long-term value.
