Skylights or roof lanterns: Key differences
If you’re looking to introduce more light into the home, skylights or roof lanterns could be the answer. Often seen in loft conversions or extensions, these have become incredibly popular additions to the home.
In this article, we take a look at the key benefits and differences between skylights and roof lanterns, giving you a great starting point when making a decision. Before we get started, we’d love to answer any questions that you have, so call us today on 01442 244200 to learn more about our skylights and roof lanterns.
What are skylights?
Skylights are flat or flush windows that are typically fitted into ceilings. You are able to choose your desired functionality, from a simple window that allows natural light in, to one that can open for additional ventilation.
Skylights are sometimes referred to as roof windows.
What are roof lanterns?
A roof lantern is sometimes referred to as a rooflight, or glazed viewing box. These typically protrude and are available in a range of shapes, from standard square or rectangular boxes that are raised from the line of the ceiling, to pyramids and pitched polygons.
Frames of roof lanterns can be made bespoke to your requirements, with a range of colours and appearances to choose from.
The benefits of skylights and roof lanterns
It goes without saying that skylights and roof lanterns make a space more bright and can often make an area appear larger.
One of the unique benefits of skylights and roof lanterns is that you can enjoy more light, without having to sacrifice privacy in the same way that you do with the addition of windows or doors.
