Benefits of living under a flat roof

Incorporate daylight naturally 

Do you live in a house with a flat roof? It is often believed that roof windows are suitable only for attics and pitched roofs. That is incorrect! 

There are many solutions designed specifically for flat roofs. Consider flat roof windows for your home and bring light in everywhere.

Utilise your flat roof effectively with rooflights

With flat roof windows, the light comes directly from above and, therefore, is not influenced by the sun's position in the sky, the house's orientation, or by trees and other buildings. The light is directly above you.

Get 3 times more daylight with roof windows 

Roof windows for flat roofs can provide up to 3 times more daylight than vertical windows. The increase in natural daylight will also offer a larger variety of light levels, which visually will make your space more inviting.

Benefits of adding a rooflight to your flat roof home 

Bring light to the right places

Illuminate an extension or create a new living room with the presence of daylight. Bring light into the areas you need it the most and transform dark spaces into your new favourite areas.

Enjoy daylight even longer

Tired of the dark? With roof windows, you get the maximum light every day. We can't change the sun's orbit, but we can provide you with roof windows that will give you access to light for a bit longer than vertical windows would.

Reap the benefits of the stack effect 

The stack effect is where a mass of warm air rises upwards, leaving colder air at the ground level. If facilitated correctly, the result is less hot, thick air and less humidity. With the right opening in your house, you could reap the benefits of the stack effect. Thanks to their position, the windows on the roof set the air in motion by activating the Law of Archimedes. Very simply put: it’s natural ventilation.
