UNDERSTANDING ROOF WINDOWS
Roof windows and chimneys are designed to bring natural light and fresh air into lofts, attics, and rooms beneath pitched or flat roofs. Unlike traditional skylights, they are installed in occupied spaces and often open for ventilation, improving airflow and comfort. Roof windows enhance room brightness, contribute to better air quality, and can provide panoramic views. Modern units with double or triple glazing and low-emissivity coatings also improve energy efficiency, helping to reduce heating costs while maintaining a stylish interior.
TYPES OF ROOF WINDOWS
Roof windows vary by operation and roof type. Centre-Pivot windows rotate around a central axis and are ideal for lower installations. Top-Hung windows open outwards from the bottom, offering unobstructed views and potential emergency escape routes. Fixed Roof-lights provide natural light without ventilation, suitable for high or hard-to-reach areas. Pitched roof windows fit roofs slanted 15°–90°, while flat roof windows (or roof-lights) suit 0°–15° pitches, available as fixed or opening units with dome, glass, or lantern designs. Specialized options include conservation windows for historic properties, balcony/Juliet windows for added access, and electric or solar-powered windows for high or hard-to-reach installations.
MATERIALS AND BENEFITS
​The frame material impacts durability, aesthetics, and maintenance. Natural Wood offers traditional appeal and insulation but requires regular care. uPVC is low-maintenance, water-resistant, and ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. Aluminium is lightweight, strong, and perfect for modern or flat roofs. Composite frames combine wood and aluminium for a balance of style, durability, and thermal performance. Selecting the right material ensures long-lasting performance, complements your property’s design, and maximises the benefits of light, ventilation, and energy efficiency.
