Rooflights are versatile and are often used in both residential and commercial settings, with different requirements and considerations needed for each. Commercial roofs and properties can easily be fitted with complementary rooflights that will add light, openness and even value to the property, going a long way to improve the interior.

What kinds of rooflights are most often used to suit commercial spaces?

1. Barrel vaults. Longer rooflights like these can span a large roof area and prove to be good value for larger spaces, allowing more natural light penetration without the need for multiple individual rooflights.
2. Flat glass or polycarbonate rooflights. There are many trade brands and models that are perfect for installation into commercial roofs, with or without upstands or builders kerbs.
3. Access hatches. Commercial spaces need to be practical and an access hatch is certainly this. It can be used for stairway or ladderway access to the roof as well as being an attractive rooflight.
