FAQ

anything

The main difference is that skylights are predominantly designed for unoccupied rooms for example garages attics or storage rooms. Roof windows are designed for occupied rooms where insulation and warmth are vital.

The best way to maximise light in a room is to choose multiple smaller windows rather than one large one. Using a large roof window might allow daylight to light up 45% of the room, whereupon two roof windows with the same combined surface area of the single window would increase the light to 48%in total. And four roof windows with the same combined total surface area would allow daylight to increase to 65% of the room if distributed evenly.

Just call us and we will advise. But choosing the right pitched roof window is often a matter of size. There is no single “correct” window size or window placement. You should always place the window for the convenience and functionality of the users.

Great for adding natural light and ventilation to any room or home. They will make rooms feel more vibrant and improve your energy levels and mood.
