Circular Rooflights for More Natural Light

admin

There are lots of rooflight shapes on the market, so have you considered circular? A circular rooflight will give you natural light that is focused into one particular area – though you can get a bigger rooflight if you would like a larger surface area covered. These are not to be confused with suntubes, which are small installations that channel light down into hard to reach places.

A circular rooflight is a slightly different shape and will add something more unique in feel to your building. It will give you the natural light you want, whilst also giving you a contemporary, modern look and style. You can pick from a wide range of different colours, though white will often be preferable as this will give a more open, bright look when you peer upwards. The glass will usually be domed, focusing sunlight down into the room and making your home instantly lighter.

Buying rooflights is a major decision, and the considerations are going to be similar whether you are an end user or an architect with lots of buildings to fit out. You are going to want all the products you use to be strong, durable and highly efficient, meaning they will conform to the expectations you have for them and will do a valuable job for you.

Buying from the right suppliers will be a major step in the right direction. Choose a company that is well known for rooflights, such as a national supplier with an excellent reputation. The more rooflights they can offer you, the better. However, be careful about lead times – some suppliers might not keep their own stock, so they will have very long lead times. Look for reasonable lead times, reasonable prices, and the option for installation as well. Even as an architect, this might be valuable to you, if not now, then during a future project.

Rooflights can be used with roofs of all descriptions. It can be a good way to let in more natural light and make a room brighter and the flexibility that can be achieve with a rooflight is amazing. It’s entirely possible to use a rooflight with a pitched roof, as long as you select the right type.

Usually a pitched roof will require a flat glass rooflight that can be fitted into it. The size will all depend on the roof space that is available and how flat it is – the roof can be pitched but it still needs to be a flat surface for the glass. You can also use a suntube if the roof is an awkward shape. This will enter through the roof and direct light into a room, through reflective tubing. Consider suntubes if you aren’t able to have other types of rooflight but would still like to incorporate some extra natural light.
