What is a Roof Window?

Roof windows, also known as skylights or rooflights, are windows that are installed in the roof of a building. They allow natural light to enter a space and can provide additional ventilation. These windows are typically installed in residential and commercial buildings, and can be customized to meet specific design and functional requirements.



Roof windows can be an excellent addition to any building, providing a range of benefits that include:

  • Increased natural light: Roof windows can help to brighten up a space with natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
  • Improved ventilation: Many roof windows are designed to be opened, providing additional ventilation and fresh air to a space.
  • Energy efficiency: By reducing the need for artificial lighting, roof windows can help to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.


Roof Window Features

Aside from the benefits mentioned above, roof windows offer other unique features such as:

  • Improved indoor air quality: Roof windows can help to improve indoor air quality by increasing ventilation and fresh air flow.
  • Reduced energy consumption: By providing natural light, roof windows can help to reduce the need for artificial lighting, thereby reducing energy consumption and costs.
  • Increased property value: Installing roof windows can increase the value of a property, making it a wise investment for homeowners and commercial property owners alike.
  • Customizable design options: Roof windows can be customized to fit any design or functional requirement, including size, shape, and materials used.

 

Different types of roof window

There are several types of roof windows available on the market today, each with its own unique features and benefits. Some of the most common types of roof windows include:

1. Fixed roof windows: These windows are stationary and cannot be opened, but they provide a significant amount of natural light and can be an excellent choice for spaces where ventilation is not a priority.

2. Top-hung roof windows: These windows are hinged at the top and can be opened outward, providing excellent ventilation and airflow. They are a great choice for rooms that require a lot of fresh air, such as kitchens or bathrooms.

3. Centre-pivot roof windows: These windows are hinged at the centre and can be opened in a variety of ways, making them a versatile option for a range of spaces. They provide good ventilation and can be a good choice for bedrooms, home offices, and other areas where natural light is important.

4. Electric roof windows: These windows can be opened and closed with the touch of a button, making them a convenient choice for hard-to-reach areas or spaces with high ceilings. They are available in a variety of styles, including top-hung and centre-pivot options.

No matter what type of roof window you choose, you can be sure that it will provide natural light, ventilation, and energy efficiency benefits to your home or building. With so many options available, it's easy to find a roof window that meets your specific needs and fits seamlessly with your design aesthetic.

 

Why You Should Consider Roof Windows

Roof windows can help to address a number of common issues in both residential and commercial buildings. By providing additional natural light and ventilation, they can improve indoor air quality and reduce the need for artificial lighting and cooling.

This can help to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills. Additionally, the installation of roof windows can increase the value of a property, making it a smart investment for homeowners and commercial property owners alike.

 

Velux Roof Window Range - Available Online Now

Velux Roof Windows from Eco Sustainable House let you transform attic spaces into beautiful living areas filled with daylight and fresh air. The vent flap adds the extra convenience of controllable passive ventilation – even when it's raining!

The unique pivoting roof windows are made of treated pinewood and pre-painted white for seamless blending with most ceilings. From the outside they are protected by maintenance-free aluminium cappings.

VELUX GGL is an openable, centre-pivoting roof window for in-reach applications used to bring natural light and air into attic or loft rooms where ventilation is required. The GGL is operated manually. The control bar at the top of the window is clicked open once for limited filtered air flow, whilst the window remains closed and watertight. A second click of the control bar opens the sash. The sash is fractioned to stay in a pivot position to maximise ventilation. The sash can be locked in two positions, either slightly ajar or 180°, in the fully rotated position, allowing the outside pane to be cleaned safely from inside the room. 
  

VELUX GPL is an openable centre-pivoting and top-hung “dual action” roof window suitable for in-reach applications. Used to bring natural light and air into attics or loft rooms where ventilation is required. In additional to all the features of the centre pivot model, the GPL can also be opened as a top-hung awning window using the bottom handle and can be left open at any point up to the horizontal position. Insect screen (optional extra) to be fitted to plaster reveal.
