A growing feature in modern homes, flat roof windows provide a range of benefits for both lifestyle and domestic sustainability. Also known as skylights and roof lights, these types of windows are experiencing a surge in popularity across the country’s home renovation projects.
Available in almost every shape and size and with an extensive range of glazing and frame options, choosing the right flat roof windows for your project can be overwhelming.
Types of flat roof windows
- Fixed rooflights – these types of windows are designed not to open and are typically installed in stairwells and non-ventilated areas
- Opening rooflights – these open and improve ventilation. They can be controlled manually or electronically
- Walk-on rooflights – as described, these are installed flush to roof terraces and designed to withstand foot traffic
- Roof lanterns – roof lanterns are popular in flat roofing as they literally raise the roof and create a wow factor
- Dome skylights – slightly raised and curved, domed roof windows are commonly found in multiples and are popular in green roof projects, due to enhanced water run-off
